The purpose of this study was to develop a plan for alleviating problems in the collection, processing, and dissemination of educational data as they affect the New York City Board of Education information requirements. The Data Base Management concept was used to analyze three topics: administration, structure, and standards. The study found that the fragmentation of organizational responsibility limits the Board's ability to successfully meet its educational data requirements. It was also found that decision-makers within the Board did not use their educational data to full potential. Finally, fragmented administrative control and the inadequate computerization of the Board's data base created problems for the maintenance of data base integrity and security. The suggested changes to the educational data process include creating a new Bureau of Educational Statistics, developing a new computer system, and adopting a proposed reorganization plan over an eighteen month period.
