What are the goals of the SLDS Grant Program?
The SLDS Grant Program is designed to aid state education agencies (SEAs) in the design, development, and implementation of SLDSs through a competitive discretionary grants process. These data systems securely follow students from early education through the workforce and facilitate the disaggregation, reporting, and analyses of longitudinal data. These data systems help States, districts, schools, and teachers make data-driven decisions to improve student learning, as well as facilitate research to increase student achievement and close achievement gaps.
