Texas has been awarded a three-year $18.2 million federal grant to build upon the state’s efforts to design and implement the Texas Student Data System, a next generation longitudinal data system.
The Texas Student Data System will deliver relevant and actionable data to parents and educators to continually improve student performance while alleviating the data collection burden on school districts and improving data quality.
The Texas Legislature and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation have previously committed significant resources to modernize the state’s public education data management system to enable Texas to examine students’ progress from early childhood, beyond schooling and into their careers. To date, more than 2,000 Texas educators have participated in defining requirements for the Texas Student Data System.
Texas is one of 20 states to be awarded a Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) grant, funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
