Report Summary

Florida's Education Data Warehouse plays an important role in the state by enabling policymakers, educators, and researchers to track student progress from prekindergarten through graduate school. The warehouse was the first of its kind to be developed and is nationally recognized. However the warehouse has not fully implemented tools to improve stakeholders' access to education data. In addition, the Department of Education needs to better plan and manage its efforts to improve the data warehouse and source database systems to avoid duplication of effort and unnecessary costs, and to ensure that the state's information needs are met.
