Data in Other States

NCLDS has benefitted greatly from support and input from longitudinal data systems in other states that either already include or are exploring inclusion of some of the elements that are helping NCLDS to establish its next-generation approach to longitudinal data (such as inclusion of data from Contributors other than education agencies, development of algorithmic approaches to linking data across Contributors, development of secure virtual collaboration spaces, and creation of dynamic data dictionaries):

• Connecticut
• Hawai'i
• Kentucky
• Maryland
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• North Dakota
• Rhode Island
• Washington
• Virginia

In addition, Education Commission of the States maintains a list of education-focused state longitudinal data systems (SLDS) in all 50 states.
