MN P-20 Education Partnership

The Minnesota P-20 Education Partnership is a voluntary organization made up of the statewide education groups in Minnesota, plus others from government, business, and other private sectors. The Minnesota P-20 Education Partnership works collaboratively to maximize achievements of all students, from preschool through elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education, while promoting the efficient use of financial and human resources. It provides a forum where critical policy issues can be collectively identified and addressed, and where data-driven decision-making structures can be developed and implemented statewide.

Minnesota P-20 Longitudinal Data System

Minnesota is developing a P-20 statewide longitudinal education data system (SLEDS) that will be jointly managed by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and the Departments of Education and Employment and Economic Development. The system will match student data from pre-kindergarten through completion of postsecondary and into the workforce, enabling educators and policymakers to answer a range of program and policy questions that can be used to gauge the effectiveness of programs and design targeted improvement strategies.
