The third consecutive Data Conference will be held in Kearney on May 17-18, 2010. The 2010 conference will provide practical and usable information to people on the front line of data collection and reporting as well as providing valuable networking opportunities. Conference sessions will help school district and systems personnel understand how state and federal laws impact data collection, understand the state data quality initiatives and get ready for future changes in state data systems.

This conference is made possible by a State Longitudinal Data System grant that was awarded to the Nebraska Department of Education in 2007.  In addition to the data conference, the grant is supporting several other projects that will help improve the quality of data and enhance our statewide data systems.  These projects include:

  • Integration of the Special Education Student Information System into the Nebraska Student and Staff Record System,
  • Updating the system for reporting curriculum information utilizing the new School Codes for the Exchange of Data (SCED),
  • Adopting a common student record to streamline the exchange of information between school districts,
  • Building an new reporting structure that will enhance the access to education by policy makers and the public,
  • Development of the Nebraska Electronic Transcript Initiative which will facilitate the electronic movement of transcript data between high schools and colleges, and
  • Supplementing the support of local staff through the addition of four new data system trainers.
