Hoosiers now know more about how Indiana officials will publicize information on schools' performance across the state.

The Indiana State Board of Education approved a list of so-called "headline indicators" at its meeting Wednesday as part of the development of a new school performance dashboard.

"Headline indicators" are essentially data points to illustrate student progress in each of the five focus areas of the dashboard. Officials said at the meeting those indicators will be designed to offer someone a quick, overall understanding of how well a school is preparing students for life after high school.
