Overview
The passage of the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” increased accountability and reporting requirements regarding
student academic achievement. In order to better respond to
these and other federal and state reporting requirements,
ISBE and the IBM Corporation are in the process of developing
and implementing a state-level student information system.
Through the project students will be assigned a unique identification
number. All data to and from the state will use that unique
identifier. The use of individual student records will:
- increase the state’s capacity to follow a student’s
progress over time;
- provide better quality data to drive more enlightened
policy decisions resulting in enhanced educational opportunities
for all children;
- reduce data collection burden on schools and districts;
and
- enhance the use and relevance of state data by districts
and schools.
