What is SEED?

The State Exchange of Education Data (SEED), formerly Southeastern Education Data Exchange, project will enable participating states to track, monitor, and share information for K-12 transfer students who cross state lines.

This project will accomplish two goals for participating states:

  • Provide basic student information for a newly registered student transferring from a participating state. 
  • Identify students who transfer between the participating states but may be reflected as drop-outs by their "home" state.  Participating states can more accurately reflect drop-out and graduation rates.

Why is this project important for NC?

When these goals are met, participating states will realize three primary benefits:

  • Improve continuity of services for regional K-12 transfer students,
  • Enhanced accuracy of K-12 graduation and drop-out rate calculations,
  • Contribute to other efforts aimed at ensuring all K-12 students graduate from high school ready for a career and/or a postsecondary course of study.  

The Georgia DOE is developing, will operate, and maintain a centralized point of exchange for routing requests and responses for information related to K-12 transfer of students across state lines for participating states in SEED.

Charter states currently participating in this project include Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia*, Kentucky*, North Carolina*, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.
