What is the ERDC?
RCW 43.41.400 established the Education Research & Data Center (ERDC) in the Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM). In collaboration with statutory partner agencies, representing education and employment, and the Legislative Evaluation and Accountability Program (LEAP) committee, ERDC conducts analyses of early learning, K-12, and higher education programs and education issues across the P-20 system.
P-20 Education Data Project
The U.S. Department of Education Institute of Education Sciences has awarded a $17.3 million grant to Washington state for continued work on the design and implementation of the state's P-20 longitudinal data system. The system will provide a wider array of data, improved analytic capability, and greater access while continuing to include protections for individual privacy and confidentiality in compliance with state and federal regulations. The effort is a collaborative undertaking with several ERDC partner agencies.
