CEDARS Components
State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS): • A statewide unique ID (UID) system for students and staff that enables linking of different types of data across collections and over time • A longitudinal data store (LDS), along with analytical tools and reports, that enables analysis of trends and relationships

CEDARS Components
State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS): • A data governance mechanism that ensures enterprise-wide coordination (including master data management) of data collection, management, and use

CEDARS: 6 Key Technology Deliverables
Deliverable
Unique Student Identifier Unique Staff Identifier Longitudinal Data Store (LDS) • Enable reliable matching of student level records over time and across DPI applications • Enable reliable matching of staff level records over time and across DPI applications
How addressed
UID System rolled out Statewide: • All LEAs & Charters trained • All students and staff assigned UIDs
• Provide robust, secure warehouse of high quality P-13 longitudinal data • Provide user-friendly access and tools to enable longitudinal analysis and reporting • Automate required annual Federal reporting
Data Warehouse and Reporting tools in development (target completion by October 2010) Middleware (for passing data between sources data systems and to warehouse) operational
Analysis & Reporting Tools EDEN / EDFacts Reporting Transcript Service
• Streamline and automate exchange of student transcripts among schools and with higher ed
Considering options for upgrading current system by summer 2011 8
