The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has indefinitely paused our efforts at rolling out an Ed-Fi implementation with our local education agencies (LEAs).  We will no longer be migrating our data collection efforts to the new Data Validation Portal (DVP) and will instead continue to collect data from our LEAs using the existing tools and processes that we currently have available.

We are excited about the ongoing work to standardize how educational data flows between systems and are committed to completing our implementation of Ed-Fi in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is Ed-Fi?
  • A: https://www.ed-fi.org/ed-fi-data-standard/ 
• Q: What is DoubleLine?
  • A: DoubleLine is a data and technology strategy-based company based in Austin, TX, that provides services to state and local government agencies and non-profit clients. DoubleLine has partnered with DESE to build the DVP application.
• Q: What is the DVP?

  • A: Contact your LEA's SIS vendor for more information.
• Q: When is the Ed-Fi go-live date?
  • A: Ed-Fi will go live in July of 2025.
• Q: Will DESE provide training on how to use the DVP?
  • A: Yes. You will find Training links above, and this page will be updated as more training information becomes available.
• Q: Who can I contact if I have further questions?
