History of the SEDC NEDPI ( ) launched SchoolMatters.com—the first free, public access website to education data (demographics, performance, fiscal, etc.) at the school, district, and state levels. NEDPII ( ) seeks to continue a national website under direction of the states. Rebranded the original SchoolMatters.com as SchoolDataDirect.org (SchoolMatters continues as website specifically for parents); provided for a data download tool for researchers; organized the SEDC to guide the development of SchoolDataDirect.org and explore other value-adds for state education agencies and ‘light researchers’. SEDC formally launched in October 2007. State Education Data Center - A Service of the Council of Chief State School Officers
