"The data coordinator position is intended to provide schools with needed support in the area of data analysis and interpretation for instructional purposes, as well as overall data management and the administration of state assessments.  The position would primarily focus on data related to instruction and school improvement, including: student assessment, student attendance, student/teacher engagement, behavior referrals, suspensions, retention, and graduation rates."

Explanation:
(This amendment makes proposed language permissive rather than mandatory that new funds a school division receives under the educationally at-risk funding in FY 2009 or FY 2010 in excess of amounts received in FY 2008 be used to provide data coordinators for schools that are currently not accredited or not meeting Adequate Yearly Progress under No Child Left Behind. A companion amendment defers proposed new funding of $2.1 million GF the second year for data coordinators in low performing high schools.)
