3 CONSIDERATIONS: Unlike other industries, there is no central repository for educational records. Is this a problem that should be fixed? Does the record(s) belong to the student or the school? Is it practical to believe all records would reside with the student?

4 CONSIDERATIONS: Is paper still king in the educational sector? What are the turning points necessary for the sector to transform to electronic databases where national standards can truly apply? Can change be driven through voluntary compliance? Is mandated change politically possible?

5 CONSIDERATIONS: Student privacy A genuine concern or a red herring? National ID number How do student privacy laws, public records laws, big data, and other issues all contribute to the discussion. How and who should have authority to sort through these important discussions?
