Makes conforming changes to GS 116E-4 by giving the Center's powers to the Board. Makes additional conforming changes to GS 116E-6. Amends the definition of de-identified data so that it no longer includes a unique student identifier.

Instead of making the State Chief Information Officer the chair, requires that the Board elect a chair from the appointed members for a term of two years.
