Working to Get Accurate Data

• This year we transitioned to a new data system that gives a unique ID to every high school student. Now this ID will follow students throughout their school years.

• This will help make it easier to ensure the data are accurate.

• School districts are required to keep documentation on every student who transfers to another district. Otherwise that student must be counted as a dropout.

• During the next year, we will be monitoring reported data to ensure that correct documentation is available and help districts improve as needed.

• We will publish the findings.
