Explanation
(This amendment requires submission of a six-year sustainability plan for the Virginia Longitudinal Data System (VLDS) after the conclusion of the federal grant in 2013. The VLDS is a software tool that creates cross-agency data linkages while protecting confidentiality. It was developed to provide information to various audiences on student progress from early childhood education into the workforce, while enabling the Commonwealth to meet federal and state reporting requirements.)
