Each year, DQC analyzes state legislation that governs the collection and use of education and workforce data in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Our latest resource shares state legislative trends in 2024 and key state legislative efforts to enhance state data systems. The highlights: - Colorado enacted a workforce development law that codifies cross-agency data governance and sets the stage for improved policy decisions and equitable access to data; - States took steps to enhance their data systems, including exploring how to improve existing frameworks to support evidence-based research and providing dedicated funding to ensure sustainability; and - Legislators enacted policies that use data to help smooth pathways from high school to whatever comes next—whether that is college or career.

Early childhood is a crucial time that lays the foundation for a child’s future academic achievement, social development, and lifelong health. Families with young children often rely on a variety of services to ensure that their child has what they need to thrive—including early care and education programs, early intervention, home visiting, and social assistance programs, among others. However, because of a lack of access to timely, robust early childhood data, stakeholders like families, service providers, and policymakers face a multitude of challenges. Our latest resource highlights how states can use their data systems to help improve child experiences and outcomes—and lay the foundation to connect robust early childhood data with statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDSs).

Policymakers and leaders should consider how data can be used to support Hispanic students, families, and communities. While there have been improvements in academic outcomes for Hispanic students, states, districts, and institutions can do more to ensure they are prepared for college and the workforce and have the same opportunities as their peers. This work starts with data. More on the DQC blog:
