City Connects’ Data Dashboard project began through a collaboration between the City of Indianapolis, Office of Education Innovation, Boston College’s Mary E. Walsh Center for Thriving Children, and the City Connects Technical Assistance Center at Marian University’s Center for Vibrant Schools in 2022. The project was initially supported by the City of Indianapolis American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which sought to focus on bringing City Connects to the East Side and to more broadly highlight strengths, needs, and interests of K-12 students in Indianapolis.
