The SC Education Oversight Committee (EOC) is accepting nominations for this year’s Data Trailblazers Award for SC public schools.

• Helps families and caregivers interpret their student’s grades and assessment scores – and use that knowledge to help their student achieve academic success. 
• Establishes and maintains a culture of schoolwide data-informed decision making with a goal of improved student outcomes.
• Incorporates practices and policies that prioritize data privacy and ensures school staff are adequately trained in data security and privacy standards.
