Advisory Board Proposal Process
Authorizing legislation established that the data system would have two Advisory Boards to provide input and feedback and to make recommendations to the Governing Board.
- The Community Engagement Advisory Board examines whether the Office is creating strong feedback loops with data users, supporting evidence-based decision-making, analytical capacity, and ensuring equitable access to actionable information.
- The Data and Tools Advisory Board examines whether the data system is providing actionable information and identifying ways to improve access to that information.
Advisory Board members are charged with making recommendations to the Office about the development and implementation of the data system, and the Cradle-to-Career Governance Manual sets forth the proposal process that is followed by the Advisory Boards.

Proposal Timing
Proposal Tracker
The proposal process is a year long process. Every year in the Summer, Advisory Board members will have the opportunity to submit proposals; every year in the Fall, Advisory Board members will consider up to three proposals; and every year in the Spring, Advisory Board members will be provided with feasibility study findings and determine if the proposal should advance to the Governing Board for consideration. Proposals that have been considered by the Advisory Boards will be housed here to allow the proposals to be easily tracked during the year long process. Below is information related to the 2023-2024 Advisory Boards process.

Every year in the Spring, the public will have an opportunity to submit proposals. Over the summer, Advisory Board members may submit their own proposal form, sponsor a proposal form submitted by members of the public, or further refine a proposal form submitted by members of the public or a member from last year.
