With the goal of improving student data collected from
across the state, the New Hampshire Department of Education has developed
an automated, inline validation system which allows data owners in 180
school districts to submit data, view validation results online, and modify
data submissions to correct errors. This presentation describes New Hampshire’s
data validation system in terms of its success in promoting:
- Improved communication and feedback between regulators and data owners
- Better understanding of data issues and business rules
- Shorter cycle times for problem identification and correction
- Measurably higher levels of data quality across the state
With over 20 years of experience with data systems, Mike Schwartz has spent the past six years dedicated to promoting high-quality data within K-12 state education agencies. Most recently Mike has implemented a solution to enable local school districts to submit, verify and ensure the quality of critical student data.
