The Education and Workforce Development (EWD) database is a large-scale data matching initiative within MPH. This longitudinal data set is combined to answer key questions about the education and workforce pipeline. It allows stakeholders such as education professionals, employers, policymakers, students, community leaders, and the public to use data and information previously not available. Today, partner agencies include the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the Indiana Department of Education, the Department of Workforce Development, and the Family and Social Services Administration. EWD does not replace agency data collection and administration responsibilities; rather, it serves as a clearinghouse where specific data elements are linked across the four agencies.

School Corporation Fiscal Indicators
On January 1, 2019, the Indiana Distressed Unit Appeals Board (DUAB), with support from MPH, publicly debuted the School Corporation Fiscal Indicators dashboard. This interactive dashboard powered by Tableau allows the public to see financial indicators for public school corporations in easy to understand visualizations. Filtering options allow for customized viewing.
Originally requested by the General Assembly in HEA 1315, project development and implementation was completed in less than six months. MPH provided consultation on data availability and appropriate indicators, as well as leading efforts on the dashboard development. Input was provided by the Financial Indicators Committee which includes representation from Department of Education, State Budget Agency, State Board of Accounts, Department of Local Government Finance, Indiana Association of School Business Officials and MPH.
The goal of the dashboard is to identify the financial condition of each school corporation to allow for proactive support for struggling corporations. To view the School Corporation Fiscal Indicators dashboard, visit www.in.gov/duab/2386.htm.
