Education Information Management Advisory Consortium (EIMAC)

Next EIMAC meeting in Washington, DC April 21-23, 2008 The Education Information Management Advisory Consortium (EIMAC) grew out of the Education Information Advisory Committee. At the CCSSO Board meeting in November 2004, the chiefs approved a plan to restructure EIAC to make it financially self-supporting and strengthen its effectiveness in representing SEAs on national data issues. The CCSSO Board approved a five-point mission for EIMAC as follows: Represent and advise SEA chiefs and staff on national data issues, both current and future. Collaborate in the planning of national data initiatives by building partnerships with national data collectors, including federal program offices. Review and provide feedback on 1) national data collections and reports, 2) national assessments and related research studies. Provide networking and professional development opportunities for SEA directors and managers of data and assessment. Provide resources and leadership to states in building student-level data systems. EIMAC consists of three permanent subcommittees: Assessment, General Statistics, and Special Education. In addition, the outside partners fund three standing task forces under EIMAC: Assessment (funded by US Department of Education), General Statistics (funded by US Department of Education), and Longitudinal Student Data Systems (funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Broad Foundation). The board believes that participation of all SEAs will give EIMAC the strength it needs to effectively advocate on behalf of states to reduce data collection burden on states and improve the overall quality of the data collected at the national level.
