What this bill would do
The Military and Educational Data Integration Act aims to create a system for sharing specific demographic information with State educational agencies. This process involves the Secretaries concerned consulting with the Secretary of Education and various educational agencies. The goal is to allow State agencies to access data regarding individuals who graduated from high school and joined or applied to join the Armed Forces. This data can be integrated into a state's statewide longitudinal data system or an alternate system. The act includes specific requirements for data security and confidentiality to protect individual privacy.
