A growing network of committed partners at the national, state and local levels is shining a brighter and wider spotlight on pragmatic ways to build and use longitudinal data systems to improve educational outcomes. The Data Quality Campaign recognizes that policymakers at every level face important, timely challenges in building and using data systems; it will take significant investment, support and capacity building at the local, state and national levels to achieve that goal. The policy actions noted in Building and Using Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems: Implications for Policy reflect the common concerns, shared vision and lessons learned from the growing DQC network.
In addition to this common policy, the Data Quality Campaign's managing partners have made more explicit recommendations in support of building and using statewide longitudinal data systems, so please see below partner policy statements and contacts.
