4 Non-Regulatory Guidance for Title I, Part C, Education of Migratory Children: Chapter VI, D (2010). Guidance 34 CFR 200.81, 200.82(c) and 200.85 CFR Part C of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) – Sections 1304(b)(3) and 1308(b). Statute Section 1304(b)(3) requires State Education Agencies (SEAs) to promote interstate and intrastate coordination by providing for educational continuity through the timely transfer of pertinent school records (including health information) when children move from one school to another, whether or not the move occurs during the regular school year. Legal Reference

5 Highly Mobile – Characteristic of migratory work Short Notice - Change school districts (within and across States), often without notice Lack of Data - Timely and accurate educational and health information Delayed School Enrollment and/or Placement Errors - Children placed in incorrect courses or grades Loss of MEP Services - Children not provided the most beneficial MEP services Migrant Records Exchange – Need
7
6 Disparate Databases - States use disparate databases to maintain migrant student information Limited Ability to Exchange - Some States using the same migrant student database have a limited ability to exchange records among themselves Slower/Manual Methods - Some States still exchange records/information via phone or e-mail National Exchange of Information - States need an electronic system to exchange migrant student records on a national level Migrant Records Exchange – Situation
8
7 MSIX is a web-based platform that links States’ migrant student record systems to facilitate the national exchange of educational and health information for migratory children. – Operational since 2007 – Produces a single “consolidated record” for each migratory child – Contains the minimum data elements (MDEs) necessary to facilitate school enrollment, grade and course placement, credit accrual, and participation in the MEP – System of Records covered under the Privacy Act What is MSIX?

9 MSIX Regulations Overview
11
10 The regulations help ensure the prompt availability of educational and health information of migratory children to facilitate: – Timely school enrollment – Appropriate grade and course placement – Accrual of secondary course credits – Participation in the MEP Ultimately will help the Department to determine more accurate migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements Benefits
12
11 As a condition of receiving a MEP grant, each SEA must: – Collect, maintain, and submit current and updated MDEs within established timeframes – Ensure that data submitted to MSIX are accurate and complete, with appropriate security safeguards in place – Establish procedures for using, and requiring each of its subgrantees to use, MSIX Consolidated Student Records – Establish procedures for MSIX data correction SEA Requirements
13
12 SEAs must submit MDEs applicable to the child’s age and grade level (i.e., “applicable MDEs”) for all migratory children that the SEA considers eligible for the MEP, regardless of the type of school in which the child is enrolled (e.g., public, private, or home school), or whether the child is enrolled in any school. General Data Submission Requirements
14
13 May 10, 2016Publication of final regulations June 9, 2016 (effective date) States must adhere to all timelines for subsequent data submissions. States must also adhere to all requirements related to data quality, data protection, use of records, and data correction requests September 7, 2016 (90 calendar days after effective date) States complete start-up data submissions MSIX Regulations Timeline

15 Consolidated Student Record means the MDEs for a migratory child that have been submitted by one or more SEAs and consolidated into a single, uniquely identified record available through MSIX. Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX) means the nationwide system administered by the Department for linking and exchanging specified educational and health information for all migratory children. Definitions
17
16 Minimum Data Elements (MDEs) means the educational and health information for migratory children that the Secretary requires each SEA that receives a grant of MEP funds to collect, maintain, and submit to MSIX, and use under this part. MDEs may include– (1)Immunization records and other health information; (2)Academic history (including partial credit), credit accrual, and results from State assessments required under the ESEA; (3)Other academic information essential to ensuring that migratory children achieve to high academic standards; and (4)Information regarding eligibility for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Definitions

17 MSIX Interconnection Agreement* means the agreement between the Department and an SEA that governs the interconnection of the State migrant student records system(s) and MSIX, including the terms under which the agency will abide by the agreement based upon its review of all relevant technical, security, and administrative issues. *Now known as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Definitions
19
18 MSIX Interconnection Security Agreement means the agreement between the Department and an SEA that specifies the technical and security requirements for establishing, maintaining, and operating the interconnection between the State migrant student records system and MSIX. The MSIX Interconnection Security Agreement supports the MSIX Interconnection Agreement and documents the requirements for connecting the two information technology systems, describes the security controls to be used to protect the systems and data, and contains a topological drawing of the interconnection.
