Nevada: Getting serious about aligning data systems

My last post in December concerned state efforts to create "homework assignments" for P-16 and P-20 councils, to help ensure they provide recommendations on issues of key interest to state leaders. And in fact, last fall Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval issued an executive order creating a homework assignment for his state's P-16 council around the state's data systems.

The executive order directs the council to conduct a "collaborative review" of the state's data systems and provide recommendations for the design and implementation of a quality P-16 data system for both student and educator data. The council's efforts must be coordinated with the recommendations developed by the Teachers and Leaders Council regarding a performance evaluation system. All the P-16 council's data efforts must be completed by August 1, 2012.

The council also has a redesigned Web site that allows the public to better track progress in these efforts.
