. It is the intent of the Legislature that the design and
implementation of a high-quality, comprehensive, and longitudinal
education data system for California will do the following:
(a) Support a system of continuous learning by delivering timely,
reliable, user-friendly, and relevant information to schoolsite and
district leaders, county offices of education, higher education
leaders, teachers and faculty, education program providers,
policymakers, researchers, parents, pupils, and the public at large.
(b) Provide educators and parents with the tools, reports, and
assistance needed to inform instruction and learning.
(c) Integrate data from disparate sources.
(d) Anticipate and provide the technological capacity for the
sharing of appropriate noneducation data from other state sources
such as health, welfare, juvenile justice, corrections, and
employment agencies, the analysis of which is necessary to fully
understand critical education policy and education finance questions.
