?? Exciting News for Improving Student Success!

The Administration is taking a major step forward in combating chronic absenteeism and boosting student engagement by enhancing how we securely use and share student data. Here's how:

?? Statewide Student Data Systems:

Governors and state education leaders are encouraged to develop comprehensive, real-time student data systems. This means:

• Public Transparency: Easy access to current chronic absenteeism rates and trends.
• Educator Tools: Real-time, actionable data to identify issues, target interventions, and track progress.
• Parent and Family Access: Up-to-date attendance info is directly available for families.

?? Interoperability Focus:

They are calling on edtech industry vendors to:

• Provide attendance data at no extra cost to districts.
• Not charging districts to access, securely export, or display their own data.
• Adopt industry aligned data standards to ensure seamless integration and usability across different systems and vendors.

?? Coming This Year:

The Department of Education (tag on LinkedIn) will release a resource to help states and districts set up effective data systems and utilize federal funding.?

As a proud advocate of these principles and this work, Project Unicorn is ready to help you navigate this call for action and use it to enhance your data system modernization efforts. Implementing industry aligned data interoperability standards can significantly improve your digital ecosystem's security and privacy practices while ensuring compliance and making data actionable and usable to address chronic absenteeism and its root causes. Together, let's harness the power of data to ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed! ????
