West Virginia to join states with longitudinal data systems

According to an article on the MetroNews Web site, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed today by the West Virginia Department of Education and the Higher Education Policy Commission to join their separate student databases.

However, the MOU signed today does not mean that the longitudinal data system is operational today. As the state community and technical college system, James Skidmore, states in the article: "There's no time line on when the two systems will merge, but [Governor] Tomblin is urging the agencies to do so as quickly as possible."
