NYS Student Identification System
(NYSSIS)
 Purpose: to assign a stable, unique student
identifier (10-digit number) to every prekindergarten through grade 12 student in New
York State public school when he/she first
enrolls.
 Unique identifiers will
 enhance student data reporting
 improve data quality
 ensure that students can be tracked longitudinally
as they transfer between districts
 Unique identifier auditing system for data
verification

Data Submission Time Line
 Beginning in 2005-06, all K-8 data must be
submitted through the State Repository
System.
 By the 2006-07 school year, all high school
data elements and selected other
Department data collection forms will be
reported through the State Repository
System.
 What does this mean for school districts?
Role of Data Administrator
(a.k.a. Chief Information Officer)
Districts are strongly advised to appoint a
data administrator to
 coordinate and lead the collection of data,
 oversee changes in and maintenance of the
local data management system, and
 chair a committee of district staff charged with
ensuring the accuracy of data.
What does this look like in a school district?

 Designed to enable school administrators,
teachers and parents to better meet the
instructional needs of individual students.

that will enable students to meet the State’s
learning standards. The Web portal
 organizes resources and tools to provide “one-stop
shopping” for instructional needs
 eliminates the time and effort that is involved in
searching for and researching educational resources
 provides online professional development
opportunities
