These data are intended to be useful for policymaking at the federal, state, and local levels.  \nThe National Forum on Education Statistics (Forum) is an entity of the Cooperative System and, among its other activities, proposes principles of good practice to assist state and local education agencies (SEAs and LEAs) in meeting this purpose. The Cooperative System and the Forum are supported in these endeavors by resources from NCES.  \nPublications of the Forum do not undergo the same formal review required for products of NCES.

The purpose of this document is to provide best practices from districts and states for maintaining quality data as these agencies regularly review and revise their methods for working with data, as well as their expectations for all staff who are responsible for education data and their quality. This document also highlights the U.S. Department of Education (ED) efforts to improve data quality. The information will help districts and states seeking to improve or further develop their policies and practices related to data quality.  \nPublication Objectives  \nThis resource aims to help agencies  \n• understand how quality data are defined;  \n• maintain data quality; and  \n• improve and develop policies and practices related to data quality.  \nIntended Audience  \nThe primary audience for this publication is staff schools, LEAs, SEAs, and the federal government whose responsibilities include any aspect of collecting, reporting, analyzing, or using education data.  \nOrganization of This Resource  \nThis resource includes the following three parts:  \n• Part One includes three chapters that cover key aspects of data quality.  \n○ Chapter 1 defines data quality and discusses the importance of quality data.  \n○ Chapter 2 discusses building a culture of quality data in an education agency.  \n○ Chapter 3 focuses on best practices for agencies to achieve quality data.  \n• Part Two offers case studies from local and state education agencies.  \n• Part Three offers tip sheets for key stakeholders who help to ensure quality data.  \nNational Forum on Education Statistics  \nThe work of the Forum is a key aspect of the Cooperative System. The Cooperative System was established to produce and maintain, with the cooperation of the states, comparable and uniform education information and data that are useful for policymaking at the federal, state, and local levels.
