What resources and tech assistance are needed to support districts and schools like yours?

We designed the annual School System Data Survey (SSDS) to help the education sector better understand current K-12 school system capabilities and infrastructure for leveraging education data. The survey is critical in providing policymakers, edtech solution providers, and school systems with information about the field. Over 200 school districts responded to the survey and informed Project Unicorn’s annual State of the Sector Report.

The information collected in the SSDS helps us: 

  • Measure the growth of interoperability across the education sector 

  • Determine what resources and technical assistance school systems need 

  • Demonstrate to edtech solution providers the need for data interoperability, privacy protections, and cybersecurity in their solutions. 

The survey should only take 15-20 minutes to complete.

4 Things to Know: 

  • You may begin the survey and return to it at a later time.

  • After completing the survey, you will receive a PDF printout of your responses via email to use for strategic planning or to share with your team.

  • If you plan to collaborate with other team members, you can also use this tool to prepare your survey responses.

  • Your responses are confidential, and all publicly reported findings are anonymized.

 
 
 
 
 

Anonymized findings are shared in our annual State of the Sector Report. As a survey participant, you’ll receive a briefing about the report before it is released and early access to the report. You will receive a complementary technical assistance call with a Project Unicorn expert and a customized and confidential school system profile.

The School System Data Survey was developed in partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers, the Council of Great City Schools, the Consortium for School Networking, Digital Promise, and the Project Unicorn Steering Committee with the support of the following organizations:
