State legislators have the opportunity to create and support legislation that positions data as a tool to help decisionmakers at all levels take action to support student success. This checklist can serve as a guide to crafting legislation that addresses education data. It applies specifically to education data legislation which includes bills that: (1) Govern statewide data collections, reports, or discrete uses of data to meet education and workforce goals; or (2) Create policy conditions to make the collection, reporting, analysis, or use of education data possible.
