This web page provides an overview of the P20 Data System Study conducted in 2023 to evaluate the statewide longitudinal data system.
In January 2023, ERDC launched a P20W Data System Study to evaluate the technical processes and tools behind our statewide longitudinal data system. ERDC contracted with Gartner to conduct this study. Gartner’s study approach is both collaborative and rigorous, involving facilitated discussions with ERDC staff, data users, data partners, and referencing market-leading research to help us understand what changes may strengthen the P20W Data System’s ability to meet future data needs. The major phases of the P20W Data System Study are outlined below, which was completed in late spring 2023.
