In the 2023 report "Colorado's Longitudinal Data Landscape. Report to the Education Committees of the Colorado House of Representatives and the Colorado Senate. Statute: 23-1-141," the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) provided a detailed overview of Colorado's long history of efforts to support more connected, longitudinal data along with examples from other states and their efforts around longitudinal data. The report also provided national best practices related to state longitudinal data systems. This year's report provides updates on CDHE's work over the past year, elevates specific use cases that can benefit from a more robust longitudinal data infrastructure and provides concrete actions Colorado policymakers can take to strengthen work around longitudinal data.
