agencies in data processing, including, but not limited to,

necessary to ensure the privacy of pupil record information so as to
meet both federal requirements and the higher expectations of privacy

facilitate the sharing and transfer of data from one segment to
another and ultimately to include linkages to workforce data.
(c) The strategic plan shall be delivered by the State Chief
Information Officer to the Legislature and the Governor on or before

received pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
