Overview
This project will enable participating states to track, monitor, and share information for K-12 transfer students who cross state lines.  Currently, there is no mechanism in place to share K-12 student data across state lines. Collaboration among the Southeastern states will enable students’ data to follow them throughout the region.

Goals
This project will accomplish two goals for participating states:

1. By improving continuity of services for regional transfer students, grades 1-12, this project will enhance states’ efforts to ensure that all students graduate from high school ready for a career and/or postsecondary course of study. 
2. By validating student mobility within the region, for grades K-12, states will improve the accuracy and reliability of graduation rates.

Participating States
At this point, the following states are participating in developing a solution to share K-12 student data within the SE: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Additionally, Colorado and Oklahoma are also participating. Georgia, Kentucky, and North Carolina are piloting the SEED solution.

Funding
Georgia's 2009 SLDS grant has budgeted more than $980,000 for this project.
