WINTER 2012 NERIC
DW CIO MEETING

S
REMINDERS
S
S
S
ONLY upload (A.K.A Lock and Load) each template ONCE per day
(REMEMBER: Friday – Sunday act as one day.)
S
If you push up program services, for example, more than once per day, NO
information moves to the state. This can wreak havoc with reports especially
when SED deadlines are looming!
S
This is true for demographics, enrollment……too.
When locking program services, ALWAYS Select ALL.
S
If you do NOT select all, the only program services that will go to Level 2 are
the ones you selected. ALL others will be deleted.
S
For example, if you only push up Poverty, ALL disabilities and other
categories will be purged at the state level and your accountability reports will
show no students with disabilities.
S
If you have verification errors, those areas will uncheck. If you do not fix those
errors and reselect ALL, those areas will not upload to Level 2.
SIRS Guidance – No manual, but the page is now searchable.
WHAT’S NEW?
S
NEW Beginning enrollment code:
S
S
0055 – Enrolled for instructional reporting only (to be used for reporting
students where the reporting entity does not have Title 1 accountability or CSE
responsibility for the student – ex: BOCES)
NEW Ending enrollment codes:
S
8338 – court placed in a program that does not lead to a HS diploma and is not
an approved GED program (this was actually introduced for 2010-11).
S
1089 – transferred to an approved GED program outside this district (use for
court placements who transfer to an approved GED)
S
0066 – ended enrollment for instructional purposes only (to be used to close
enrollment records with a begin enrollment code of 0055)
DISTRICT OF RESIDENCE
S
Field 41 (District Code of Residence) of the Student Lite template is now
required
S
If the student changes his/her District of Residence AFTER BEDS day, this data
element DOES NOT change
S
If the student is a resident of a state other than New York, use district code
“80034366”
S
If the student was not enrolled in this LEA on BEDS day, use the District of
Residence information gathered when the student registered in the district.
S

(prekindergarten half day). Populate on Enrollment record
S
Pre-Kindergarten program service
S
S
Indicator of whether the PK student is:
S
In a UPK program (program service code 902) or
S
In an “other” PK program (program service code 990).
New program service codes. [Either 902 or 990 program service record MUST be
provided for each student that has a grade level of PKF or PKH].
UNIVERSAL PRE-K
S
If the student is in a UPK program “902”, UPK setting program service record
must be provided from the table below:
S

BOCES REPORTING
S
Initially, BOCES was scheduled to start reporting data in the 2011-12 school year
S
BOCES will be required to report starting with the 2012-13 school year
CIVIL RIGHTS DATA
COLLECTION
S
The Federal Department of Education has informed the state the ALL districts
MUST participate in the Civil Rights Data Collection this year.
S
In the past, only selected districts were required to report.
S
Some of the data is currently available in your SIS but other is not.
S
This data will NOT be pulled from the SIRS and will be due sometime this
summer (possibly August).
S
FAQ about the Federal Civil Rights Data Collection can be found at:
http://www.crdc2011.org/FAQ/CRDCAdvaceFAQ.pdf
ONE DAY RULE
S
This year the transition to the One Day rule is complete.
S
Students who are enrolled in the district one day or longer are now included in the
Grad Rate accountability group.
S
Complete information on the Cohort Changes can be found at

LOCATION MARKING
PERIOD
S
New Location Marking Period template, along with dimension values defined in
the Marking Period Code template, allow management of both Marking Period
and Term by location. Cannot be loaded through Level 0.
S
Only Final Grades will be reported for 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years.
S
Marking Period – Use the last Marking Period that a report card is issued for a
course. Example, for a 4 Report Card school, a full year course would report the
Final Grade as MP4, a Semester One course would use MP2 (since the course
ends MP2) and a Semester Two course would use MP4 (since the course ends
MP4.)
S
Term – Suggestion: 0 for Full Year, 1 for Semester 1, 2 for Semester 2
S
Must define each Final Marking Period/Term combination for all reportable
schools including Elementary schools.
STAFF-STUDENT-COURSE
S This is a new template used for dual purposes:
S
It will be used to collect the underlying data needed for teacher evaluation
S
It will also be used to collect information that can be used to generate class
rosters
STAFF-STUDENT-COURSE
S
You will note that the template includes a “Reporting Date”.
S
This date is an important differentiator regarding the purpose of the data being
reported.
S
If the data are being reported for roster purposes, the reporting date is June 30,
2012 regardless of the actual date the course ended.
S
If the data are being reported for teacher evaluation purposes, the reporting date is
defined as the first date of the state assessment period associated with that course.
STAFF-STUDENT-COURSE
S
The remaining fields in this template define the metrics for determining the
amount of time an individual student was engaged in instruction by an individual
teacher
S
You will note that this metric accounts for student attendance, but not teacher
attendance
S
Staff/Student/Course template
STUDENT CLASS GRADE
DETAIL TEMPLATE
S
Replaces Student Grade template
S
Used to collect Student Grades, Pass/Fail and Credits awarded
S
For 2011-12, only Numeric Final grades associated with Regents exams are
required; all other grades are optional. If others are reported, make sure you’ve
defined those marking periods too.
S
Includes an indicator distinguishing a Final Grade that was computed using a
Regents score versus those that were not
S
Includes a new Pass/Fail Indicator; this is required for both ES courses leading to
a state assessment and HS Regents courses
S
Includes new fields for reporting Credits Attempted and Credits Earned
ASSESSMENT
ACCOMMODATIONS
S
Assessment accommodations will be scanned from the answer sheet used during test
administration. We expect to be able to load these for you if we are loading your
scores. If this is not possible, we will let you know.
S
For any assessments that do not use a scan able answer sheet, testing
accommodations will be recorded in the appropriate student system and exported to
the data warehouse using the Assessment Acc Mod Fact template
S
A list of revised assessment accommodations will become effective beginning with the
2011-12 3-8 ELA and Math assessments during the April/May 2012 time frame.
STAFF EVALUATION
RATING
S
Legislation requires that assessments be used in the teacher evaluation process
S
Teachers will be evaluated on the following basis:
S 20% of evaluation based on state assessments
S 20% based on local assessments
S 60% based on local observation and evaluation techniques
S
These three scores will result in an overall evaluation rating on a scale of 1-4.
S
This new template is designed to collect the component scores as well as the final
overall evaluation rating.
S
Likely that most districts will use their Human Resource software to report this.
S
SED suggests using the TEACH ID as the Local ID in the HR system. Staff ID
must match what is reported by SIS.
S
Additional guidance about this template will be provided in the future.

S
NERIC DataFlow provides an automated process for moving data from a number of Student
Information and Special Education Systems directly to Level 0 of the Data Warehouse.
S
This is currently available as a value-added service for districts subscribing to NERICsupported Student Information and Special Education Systems. Interested districts, who are
not currently subscribing to services for NERIC-supported SIS &SPED system, please call for
a quote.
S
NERIC DataFlow automates the daily extraction of Student Demographic, Enrollment and
Program Services data from the source system. Level 0 import rules are applied to the
extracted data, error reports are generated on a daily basis and the data that passes the edit
checks is written directly to Level 0. This automated process eliminates the need to manually
extract files for import into Level 0 and attention can be given to correcting errors in the source
system— on a daily basis.
S
COMING SOON! Staff Snapshot, Course, and Program services from NutriKids, SIS, and
SPED. (Please note: Centris does charge an annual fee to connect IEP Direct.)
