Thank you for being a member of our community this year. As 2022 draws to a close, we're looking back at the tremendous progress of the program and how our mentors, contributors, and thought partners have been beside us in this remarkable journey.
WE ARE LIVE!
The CNMI Public School System has officially launched the first-ever, commonwealth-wide data system that connects, manages, analyzes, disaggregates, and uses student data.

Our centralized data system brings the CNMI up to speed with the rest of the nation in reporting and using data, untangling the maze of some of our most critical data systems, and making the simplest questions easier to answer. 
State longitudinal data systems (SLDS) can help educators, policy-makers, researchers, and the public understand what works for students and how to use resources more efficiently. They combine data about individuals from different state agencies and programs so stakeholders can answer critical questions about K-12, postsecondary, and workforce outcomes.

Our Data Governance Partners

 

Data governance supports decision-making regarding the availability, usability, integrity, and security of data.  

During the second Wednesday of every month, the data governance committee identifies, prioritizes, and resolves critical data issues affecting the agency.
