NYSED Update – SEDDAS User Lists

School Management System (SMS) Certification Center The Center's resources are available to assist vendors with the certification process. Products qualified for certification are automated systems used by school Districts in New York State that serve as source systems from which data is extracted and loaded to the Student Information Repository System (SIRS).

UIAS – Unique ID Audit System – Monthly Reports  Reports are run monthly – released on the 1 st Wednesday of the month (based on any data loaded to Level 2 by the previous Friday)  Reports are distributed through the NYSED Business Portal (IRSP application) and the RIC distributes through the Core FTP site (UIAS folder)  District/Building names are now displayed on all reports. Disappearing Students: expected to be continuously enrolled in a given location based on the past year enrollment record, but with no apparent re-enrollment in that location in the new school year; False Dropouts: students exited as dropouts but who may have re-enrolled in a new location; Simultaneous Enrollment: students who have active enrollment in multiple locations. False Transfer Report (and FT Across Years): students who transferred (Exit Code 170) to a new location but appear not to have been enrolled elsewhere; or, students with overlapping enrollment  UIAS Resources and Information

False Transfer Report: students who are recorded as transferred (Exit Code 170), but have not been enrolled in the subsequent District (LEA); or, students with overlapping enrollment in two districts (below is an example of an overlap(OL)) **Students may have been assigned a new NYSSIS ID at the district that they transferred to – please contact the RIC if you suspect this has occurred

Simultaneous Enrollment Report: students who have active enrollment in multiple locations (no exit reported for either district)

SIRS - 312

2009 ELA and Math Accountability Cohort For ELA and mathematics performance, the 2009 accountability cohort consists of all students, regardless of their current grade level, who were: 1) enrolled in your school or district on October 3, 2012 (BEDS day), and 2) first entered grade 9 (anywhere) during the 2009–10 school year (July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010) or, in the case of ungraded* students with disabilities, reached their seventeenth birthday during the 2009–10 school year. * Ungraded students are included in the 2009 school accountability cohort if their birth date is between July 1, 1992 and June 30, Note: For Performance Accountability, the cohort year of students whose last enrollment record as of the reporting date has a grade of “14” (i.e., 7–12 ungraded) is identified using their birth date, even if they have a conflicting entry in the First Date of Entry into Grade 9 field.

Cohort Definition Summary – see SIRS Appendix IV Regardless of cohort, students are reported in the school and district where they were last enrolled as of the reporting date (4, 5, or 6 years after date of first entry in grade 9). The last enrollment record is defined as the regular enrollment record with the most recent beginning date as of the reporting date.  Regular Enrollment is defined as: Enrollment in building or grade Transferred in under the NCLB Title I "School in Improvement Status" transfer option Transferred in under the NCLB "Persistently Dangerous School" transfer option Transferred in under the NCLB "Victim of Serious Violent Incident" transfer option Cohort year is determined using the date reported in the “First Date of Entry into Grade 9” field in the school year when the last enrollment record occurred.

Accountability – Performance Index (PI) ( Because the elementary/middle-level ELA and mathematics PIs now give schools and districts “full credit” for students who are on track to proficiency within three years or by the end of Grade 8, whichever is earlier, in most schools and districts the 2011–12 PI is higher than it would have been had it been computed using pre-ESEA school year rules. Conversely, because the high school ELA and mathematics PI formula now requires a student to have achieved a score at or above 75 in ELA or at or above 80 in mathematics in order for a school or district to receive “full credit” for a student’s performance, many schools and districts will have 2011–12 high school PIs that are lower than would have been reported using pre-ESEA rules In addition, the cohorts used to determine the four-year and five-year graduation rates now include students who were enrolled for one day, as opposed to five months, in the district or school.  As such, many schools and districts may find that the graduation rate reported for the 2011–12 school year for accountability purposes is lower than it would have been reported in previous years.

Accountability – Performance Index (PI) Grades 3 – 8 PI for ELA and math is calculated using the following formula: Count of continuously enrolled  ((Level 2 not on-track-to-be-proficient students  + Level 1 on-track-to-be-proficient students  + Level 2 on-track-to-be-proficient students  + Level 3 students  + Level 4 students  + Level 4 students)/Count of continuously enrolled tested students)*100 Please Note: The formula for calculating PI for Grades 4 & 8 Science remains the same as in prior years and has not changed as a result of the ESEA Waiver.

Accountability – Performance Index (PI) The formula to calculate high school PI remains the same as follows:  ((Level 2  + Level 3  + Level 4  + Level 3  + Level 4)/Cohort)*100 The cut points for determining performance levels for ELA and math Regents examinations have been revised as follows: Link to AMOs -

TSDL – Teacher Student Data Linkage To receive a file of PINs for teachers, districts must first report appropriate staff, student, and course data to the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) and Teacher ID numbers must match between systems.  Districts must first have the following loaded: Location Marking Period Course Staff Snapshot (including Hire date, Tenure date, Exit date)  After these are loaded, the Staff Student Course (SSC) must be loaded (to Level 2) An SSC record must be present for a Student/Course/Teacher in order for SED to generate a PIN number for that Teacher.  When new teachers are added (Staff Snapshot AND SSC) and loaded to Level 2, a PIN will be generated the following week Teacher-Student Roster Verification Report User Guide:

Teacher PINs and Verification process February 2013 Memo from Ken Wagner Retrieve PINS from the NYSED Business Portal IRSP (pg 6-7)  Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) will be generated for teachers who have not previously created accounts to view their rosters. Starting with the first refresh following the opening of the SIRS to TSDL data, districts will receive a weekly PIN summary report in the Information and Reporting Services Portal (IRSP). This report will contain information on which teachers have used their PINs to create TSRV accounts and will be updated weekly until the close of data submission. Distribute PIN Letters to Teachers  Teachers that had accounts last year will use the same login information this year (They will not receive new PINs) If you forget your password or username, you will need to type the responses to your two security questions exactly as they were typed when the account was created. Teachers who cannot remember the exact responses to their security questions should call the Information and Reporting Services office at You will need to provide your username and TEACH ID number.  If Staff Student Course records have not been loaded for a teacher, then the teacher will not be able to login, until data is loaded to Level 2. Districts should set up a process for teachers to report discrepancies in data (pg 4-6) Administrators can view teacher rosters through Cognos-State Reports (L2RPT): Course and Staff (SIRS-315) Teacher Student Data Linkage (TSDL)  Principals will only have access to their building teachers
