Benchmarking with nationally ranked schools, the Union Efficiency and Quality Center (UEQC), and organizations from
other sectors for engagement and satisfaction data, as well as for process results for operations, allows BCS to compare
itself to the best in class in its target measurement areas. Some organizations that have been used for operations benchmarking include the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), FastExpress, and numerous hospital systems. These sources have also been used to measure stakeholder satisfaction, as most school districts are still not in the practice of measuring nonacademic results. BCS has been used as a model at several state education conferences to exhibit best practices in strategic planning and measurement.
