This Comprehensive Education Information System (CEIS) is a strategy for an information system that vertically and horizontally integrates information from the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) with information from local District and School information technology systems in a manner that supports compliance with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB).  Since 2003 there have been 6 strategic goals set by RIDE for the success of CEIS:

• The State-Assigned Student IDentifier (SASID)

• A single electronic portal for data collection and reporting (eRIDE)

• A Centralized Student Information System (CSIS)

• A single Data Warehouse to serve both district and state storage needs. Providing real time information

• On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools to process information

• Integration with sister agencies, DLT, DOH and Higher ED (PK-20)
