Data Certification
As in past years, the data certification process will occur in early fall, to allow districts
time to certify, update, and review data used for calculating school performance
scores.
• Districts will review and correct assessment (LEAP/iLEAP/LAA1/LAA2/EOC/ACT),
credit accumulation (DCAI), and progress point data during data certification.
Additional Information
This month, the accountability team will be holding a webinar to assist with data
certification. Dates, timelines, and processes will be communicated during this
webinar. A user guide with steps for data certification will also be provided.
