Join NewsFlashPurpose: Local Education Agencies (LEAs) receive requests from researchers for access to data about students and staff (for research) but often do not have the capacity to field, support, and monitor these requests. This working group will revise The Forum Guide to Supporting Data Access for Researchers: A State Education Agency Perspective to include a set of core practices and operations for LEAs responding to requests for education data.
Current Tasks: The Working Group is modifying The Forum Guide to Supporting Data Access for Researchers: A State Education Agency Perspective into a companion guide that is more relevant to LEAs, and includes information on supporting primary research on students and staff. The guide will recommend a set of core practices, operations, and templates that can be adopted by LEAs as they consider how to respond to requests for education data.
Meeting Schedule: The resource is in review and no further meetings are planned at this time.
