“The $100 million repository that will catalog all the information is called inBloom, an initiative funded primarily through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and a division of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. The Department of Education is in the finishing stages of building a system to share student data with colleges and six other state agencies—a program known as ‘P-20.’ Some of the other agencies that may have access to the data by 2015 include the Department of Labor, Health and Taxation and Finance, and the offices of Technology and Children and Family Services. In addition to money from the Gates Foundation, the DOE has received $40 million from state and federal agencies.”
