The New Mexico Public Education Department: Early Childhood Integrated Data System

The New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) had a grand vision: Give every child in New Mexico an equal opportunity for success by building an integrated data system that would enable policymakers to make informed decisions about early childhood programs and policies.

In partnership with eScholar, led by NMPED, and funded by a Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC) grant, just such an integrated data system became possible. In 2017, NMPED implemented the Early Childhood Integrated Data System (ECIDS), created in genuine collaboration among NMPED; Child, Youth, and Families Department (CYFD); and the New Mexico Department of Health (DOH). This overview will provide an overview of the project milestones and learning experiences of the ECIDS development and implementation.

The Louisiana Department of Education: Direct Certification and CEP

With the enactment of one of the U. S.’s strictest privacy laws, Act 837, the Louisiana Department of Education was prevented from receiving or accessing student personally identifiable information (PII) which is imperative to the matching and certification process. The law required LDOE to create a system of unique student identification numbers not based on social security numbers, and students must retain their unique identifiers throughout their tenure in Louisiana public schools. It also required LEAs to assign unique student identification numbers to all students enrolled in public schools.

Learn how LDOE chose a new unique identifier and how they reached and sustained 100% direct certification and expanded community eligibility provision.
