Demonstration Data Only — Not Official District, Agency, Student, or Family Data
Data Sources & Methods
Explaining how child well-being indicators would be collected, organized, protected, and used for coordinated action.
OK Child Wellbeing is currently an independent demonstration pilot using illustrative data only. A real implementation would require formal data partnerships, privacy review, data-sharing agreements, role-based access, and compliance with FERPA and other applicable laws.
Current Data Status
At this stage, all numbers, case examples, school snapshots, and reports are demonstration-only. They are included to show how the pilot model could function if authorized data partnerships were established.
Future Data Sources May Include
2
School Health and Well-Being Data
- Nurse visits
- Counselor referrals
- Mental health referral patterns
- Health-related barriers to attendance
- Developmental or well-being concern trends
3
Family Stability Indicators
- Housing instability
- Homelessness / McKinney-Vento indicators
- Transportation barriers
- Food insecurity indicators
- Family support needs
- Service referral patterns
4
Safety and Protective Factors
- Domestic violence exposure indicators
- Protective order trends involving households with children
- Mandated reporting patterns
- Aggregate child safety concerns
- Community violence exposure indicators
5
Community and Workforce Indicators
- Poverty rates
- Employment and workforce participation
- Childcare access
- Transportation access
- Neighborhood-level resource availability
- Career and technical pathway access
6
Partner Response Data
- Assigned follow-up actions
- Referral completion status
- Partner action pending
- Response timelines
- Case management status
- Outcome improvement tracking
Indicator Method
The pilot organizes indicators into three connected layers: child outcome indicators, risk driver indicators, and system response indicators. This structure is designed to show not only what is happening to children, but whether responsible systems are responding in a timely and coordinated way.
1
Child Outcome Indicators
Measures connected to child development, school success, health, safety, and long-term well-being.
- Reading proficiency
- Attendance
- Behavioral well-being
- Health concerns
- Graduation readiness
2
Risk Driver Indicators
Conditions that may contribute to poor outcomes or signal that a child or family needs support.
- Housing instability
- School mobility
- Domestic violence exposure
- Poverty
- Transportation barriers
- Family stress
3
System Response Indicators
Measures showing whether the system acted after risk was identified.
- Assigned lead partner
- Family contact completed
- Referral made
- Support plan active
- Follow-up completed
- Outcome improved or unresolved
Privacy and Legal Safeguards
Public-facing dashboards should only show aggregate, de-identified information. Any internal case management or school-level implementation would require strict access controls, legal review, and formal agreements.
FERPA compliance
Role-based access
Data-sharing agreements
De-identification standards
Aggregate public reporting
No personally identifiable student or family information
Privacy review before implementation
Clear limits on who can view, edit, export, or act on data
Public vs. Internal Data
Public Dashboard
- Aggregate trends
- School or district-level summaries where authorized
- De-identified indicators
- Public accountability metrics
- Policy and funding trends
Internal Authorized System
- Role-based case coordination
- Assigned response actions
- Referral follow-up
- Partner status tracking
- Restricted school-level or student-level support workflows only if legally authorized
Methods Limitations
This pilot is not currently an official government, school district, healthcare, or child welfare data system. Demonstration data should not be used to make legal, clinical, educational, or policy conclusions. The purpose is to show the model, framework, and accountability structure that could be implemented through authorized partnerships.
Implementation Requirements for Real Deployment
This is currently a demonstration pilot. Moving from demonstration to real implementation would require formal governance, legal review, and institutional authorization. The following requirements would need to be met before any live data could be connected to this model.
Official data-sharing agreements with partner agencies and districts
FERPA and privacy review for all education-related data
Role-based access controls limiting who can view, edit, export, or act on data
Aggregate public reporting with no personally identifiable information
Formal data governance policies
Local partner approval from schools, agencies, and community organizations
Clear methodology documentation for each indicator
Defined update schedules for data refresh and reporting cycles
Protection against exposing personally identifiable student or family information
These requirements are standard practice for responsible data-driven accountability systems. They are listed here to demonstrate the pilot's commitment to credible, privacy-protective implementation should the project move beyond the demonstration phase.
Credibility & Governance
This demonstration pilot would require official partner approval, data-sharing agreements, privacy review, FERPA compliance, role-based access controls, data governance policies, clear indicator methodology, defined update schedules, and aggregate public reporting before any live implementation.
This site does not collect, store, or display personally identifiable child, student, family, district, or agency records.
Why This Page Matters
Credible child well-being work requires more than compelling visuals. Policymakers, funders, schools, and families need to know where data comes from, how it is protected, what it can and cannot prove, and how it is connected to action. This page establishes the pilot's commitment to transparency, privacy, and responsible use of data.
