- Future GAT topics: How do we make progress on data push out from customizable systems?
(Additional context: Many systems in K12 are highly customizable, and this makes it difficult for vendors to comply to a data exchange standard since doing so now involves working around localized business logic. For their part, agencies want data served up and managed so as to reflect their processes, but this means that “certification” does not result in “plug and play.” Certification starts to look misleading, since it can’t account for local customization. - The proposal on decomposition of certification will be resumed at the next GAT meeting, to provide more guidance and direction on next steps on the proposal.
- Request was made for future GAT discussion on visualization and dashboard disposition.
- GAT members to be polled to determine best monthly GAT meeting date and time.
