Purpose

This project is designed to enhance Nebraska’s SLDS infrastructure to support at-risk students, including youth who are state wards and court wards placed in foster care and other court ordered placements or facilities. Our work will aim to improve the educational experience of these students through strategic enhancements and modifications to Nebraska's Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) and associated policies and procedures. We will also work to enhance the privacy of student data, strengthen the cooperation between state structures that comprise the P-20W data system, and enhance our data governance through improved stakeholder engagement on data visualizations and use and improved internal and external data training.
