MSIX, a major information technology (IT) major investment for the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, supports the exchange of migrant student records from one school district to another as migratory students move within State or across State lines. This investment is in response to the Congressional mandate in Section 1308(b) of Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended. Section 1308(b) requires the Secretary to assist States in developing effective methods for electronically exchanging student records amongst States; and, to determine, and accurately account for, the number of migratory children in each State. The MSIX investment consists of a responsive web-based platform that links States’ migratory student record databases to facilitate the national exchange of migratory students’ educational and health information. The investment also involves an independent verification and validation (IV&V) effort to ensure correctness and quality of the design, development, and operation of MSIX and related deliverables. Only one source is capable of providing the services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized. See attached JOFOC.
