Project EASIER
Overview
Project EASIER (Electronic Access for Iowa Education Records) is the
Iowa Department of Education's initiative involving the transfer of
individual student records. The mission of the project is to reduce
data burden, encourage better decision-making by establishing and
maintaining a cost effective method of accessing and transferring
accurate and timely education information among school districts,
postsecondary institutions and the Iowa Department of Education.
Underlying principles of the project include a commitment toward
reduction of paper-based state reporting, building on existing
technologies available to schools, a commitment toward the elimination
of paper-based college transcripts, the voluntary adoption of a common
basis for facilitating meaningful information exchange, and greater
security of confidential student information.
