Duarte Unified approves data-sharing agreement with California College Guidance Initiative
Summary
The board approved a state-referenced data-sharing agreement with the California College Guidance Initiative to support transcript, CSU/UC admissions and FAFSA-related information for grades 9–12, as required by state policy.
The Duarte Unified School District board approved a K–12 data-sharing and services partnership agreement with the California College Guidance Initiative. District staff said the agreement is part of a state requirement for local educational agencies serving grades 9–12 to participate in this type of clearinghouse for transcripts, admission requirements and FAFSA information.
Doctor Lawson explained that the platform stores transcript information and details tied to CSU and UC admissions requirements and assists with FAFSA completion; the district will share specified student data with postsecondary systems as required by state guidance. The consent item (identified in the meeting as agreement number 00011506) was moved by Board member Reyes and seconded by Board member Hasso and passed by a recorded vote of 4–0.
Doctor Lawson told the board that the California College Guidance Initiative platform is widely used in the state and that the agreement ensures the district complies with the state-mandated process for college guidance and data sharing. The transcript does not state the exact data fields to be shared or a date when sharing will begin; it records the board vote to approve the agreement.
