Purpose: The Longitudinal Data Systems (LDS) Task Force will pull together lessons learned and effective approaches to designing, implementing, maintaining, and using longitudinal data systems – including various aspects of the project, such as governance, stakeholder involvement and feedback, communications, staffing, RFP writing, bid evaluations, etc. The group aims to tie together the many existing resources available on LDSs and to offer SEA and LEA perspectives to help decisionmakers, education experts, and system developers to effectively assemble the many pieces of the LDS puzzle.
