Funding Breakthrough Education Research and Modernizing Student Data Systems

This law establishes a new National Center for Advanced Development in Education to research and promote innovative teaching methods and technologies aimed at improving student outcomes and closing achievement gaps. It also significantly funds states to modernize and link their longitudinal data systems, connecting education records with workforce and wage data, while mandating strict privacy protections. Citizens can expect new, community-informed educational tools and better data transparency regarding student pathways to employment.
Key points
Creation of a National Center dedicated to developing and testing breakthrough educational technologies and new teaching approaches for all students, including those with disabilities or English learners.
Major federal grants authorized ($500 million annually) for states to build comprehensive data systems linking early childhood, K-12, college, and employment/wage records.
New educational solutions must be developed using input from parents, students, and local educators ("community-informed").
Strict requirements are imposed on states to protect individual privacy and data security (FERPA, HIPAA compliance) within the expanded data systems.
