Bush Institute  \nJustine Taylor-Raymond  \nSenior Program Manager of the Education Reform Initiative at the George W. Bush Institute  \nDetermining whether a state’s young people are on track for a life with opportunity is a critical—but difficult—task for governors and state leaders. States can be both awashin data and unable to easily access and use that data to inform policy. State longitudinal data systems that meaningfully connect workforce, higher education, K-12, and early childhood outcome data are foundational to strong decision-making by state leaders.  \nState leaders should prioritize legislation that follows these recommendations for state longitudinal data systems.  \nOur recommendations:  \n• CREATE A COORDINATED VISION WITH STRONG GOVERNANCE  \n• ENSURE CAPACITY AND RESOURCES TO MANAGE AND ANALYZE DATA  \n• PRIORITIZE ACCESSIBILITY AND DATA-DRIVEN POLICY  \n• PRIORITIZE TRANSPARENCY AND REPORTING  \nState leaders are charged with determining how to advance educational opportunities and outcomes, particularly for underserved populations. This work is essential – but challenging – particularly given the impact of COVID-19 on Black, Latino, and other students of color as well as English language learners and young people living in poverty. Policymakers need reliable, relevant, and transparent data from pre-K-12 to the workforce to inform decisions and allocate resources. Researchers need access to data to assess current conditions and to identify possible solutions. Finally, the public – including parents – needs information about readiness and opportunity for young people in the state.  \nWell-governed and well-structured state longitudinal data systems can help. Today, most states have disparate data systems that are functionally siloed off by education level, like early childhood or K-12 or higher education. Meaningfully linked and well-governed data systems make it easier to see the connections between metrics like early-grade reading scores, high school graduation, and wage data. What does readiness and opportunity look like for young people at all stages? And how are outcome metrics connected overtime? Disaggregated data, across the pipeline into young adulthood, provides invaluable insights to policy makers, researchers, and parents.  \nThese recommendations are adapted from Time to Act: Making Data Work for Students (Data Quality Campaign, 2016) and are the foundation of the George W. Bush Institute’s  rating of the State Longitudinal Data Systems.  \nCREATE A COORDINATED VISION WITH STRONG GOVERNANCE  \nA legislature can create a strong governance system for its statewide longitudinal data system by specifying which agencies need a voice, who will be held accountable, and who is responsible for what.  \nTogether, these steps can create the right conditions for a meaningful data system: Clearly state the purpose of the system in a way that guides decision-making. Establish a single agency host and leadership team (with decision-making authority and accountability) to guide the system toward that purpose. Establish clear guidelines f","cbCaif89gr9IiIag","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif89gr9IiIag","pdf",384407,"English","# Recommendations for state longitudinal data systems\n## Create a coordinated vision with strong governance\n## Ensure capacity and resources to manage and analyze data\n## Prioritize accessibility and data-driven policy\n## Prioritize transparency and reporting","[{\"question\":\"Why are state longitudinal data systems important for state leaders?\",\"answer\":\"They help leaders determine whether young people are progressing toward opportunity and enable stronger decision-making.
