A study was conducted to determine the feasibility of implementing a reporting system, the National Vocational Education Reporting and Accounting System (VEDS), for secondary vocational education in Wisconsin. As proposed by the National Center for Educational Statistics, the VEDS system is a comprehensive information collection package to provide comparable information on vocational education students among the states. Data were collected from two sources. First, in-depth interviews of local vocational education coordinators from six local educational districts were conducted. Second, an interviewer attending regional (workshop) meetings informally gathered information regarding reporting systems and their impact on local education agencies (LEAs). The findings indicate that (1) time is needed to adjust procedures and develop the capacity to decrease the costs of data collection, particularly at the level of the LEA, (2) employer follow-up of completers and leavers is both burdensome and costly to LEAs, and (3) since the VEDS format is predicated on computer access, the need for adequate lead time at both the local and state levels as well as a need for efficient coordination efforts is apparent. (Data tables pertaining to VEDS cost estimates are included. The interview form is appended.) (EM)
