What Atlara does for Nebraska districts
Plans that track themselves
Readiness Plans auto-complete requirements from real activity — course plans, assessments, applications, FAFSA — so compliance reporting is a byproduct, not a project.
Career + college exploration built in
Interest inventories, a 900+ career library with real O*NET and BLS wage/outlook data, 3,200+ colleges with U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard data, and majors exploration cover the exploration expectations most state frameworks start with.
Work-based learning tracking
Employer partners, placements, hour logs, and competencies — with student portfolios and resumes that assemble themselves.
Counselor + family visibility
Caseload dashboards with early-warning flags, printable conference one-pagers, and a family portal with its own logins and approvals.
Policy details above are a planning summary, not legal guidance — confirm current requirements with the Nebraska Department of Education.
