Transcript pilot kick off meeting• January 10

– Vail School District– Pima Community College– University of Arizona

• Focused discussion on WHAT was needed– Now how it would be accomplished

• Vision = bidirectional data flow to make decisions that impact children throughout the preK-20W pipeline

Electronic transcripts discussion• Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC)

has standards for high school and college transcripts – Are PESC standards the right fit? Others to consider?– Setting standards for exchanging transcripts

• Critical needs – Automate the transcript process – One place to obtain data – All LEAs need to participate  

• Information sharing– What math courses were taken by high school students

before college?– What college math courses were taken by LEA grads?

Top four desired outcomes

1. Why are so many freshmen not prepared for post-secondary?

2. Unique IDs

3. Workforce feedback

4. Workforce demand feedback for student pipeline

Monthly SLDS conference call

• Partnership with Arizona Board of Regents
