Continue to develop a comprehensive (“cradle-to-career”), integrated, longitudinal information system that supports students, teachers, administrators and policymakers; enables more timely and comprehensive identification and response to children’s needs; and improves access to and use of data from the system. |

Implement a comprehensive and balanced package of K-12 reforms and investments that includes an equitable and transparent finance system for all schools; policies that support the recruitment, retention and equitable distribution of high-quality staff; and additional resources to ensure all students succeed and learn in safe, well-equipped instructional settings. |

Improve kindergarten readiness by identifying and addressing the needs of struggling students earlier through developmentally-appropriate assessments in early learning settings and kindergarten, and adopt a statewide kindergarten readiness assessment. |
