All Staff and student data included in the interchange files and error free at the interchange level.
Wednesday
January 13, 2016
Date by which you must have generated your Complete Special Education December Count Snapshot dataset by passing all Interchange and Snapshot validations in preparation for report review.
Complete December Count Snapshot. All Special Education December Count records are submitted and have passed all Interchange and Snapshot validations.
All required fields are reported.
Thursday
January 14, 2016 – Thursday
January 21, 2016
Snapshot Report Review - STAFF and STUDENT. This is your opportunity to review reports in detail and make any data corrections you deem necessary to make sure you are reporting valid and reliable data.  17

18. Report Review Week
A specific time set aside to review reports was added to timelines as requested for a number of reasons to ensure data reported is valid and accurate. This is your opportunity to review the data and make changes you deem necessary for valid and accurate reporting.
CDE may be reaching out to you if we see significant changes in data between last year and this year to ensure you are reporting everything you should be.
Once the collection closes and data is reported federally changes can’t be made and in some cases this has been a costly issue for records not reported. 18

19. Report Webinar Date: January 14th Time: 1pm-2pm
For whom: AU directors and data respondents
Where: Adobe Connect web address:
Call-in number:
What: December Count produces a number of important reports (e.g., indicator-related reports, funding-related reports). In this webinar, we will discuss tips on how to best utilize these reports: which reports need extra attention, which reports need sign from AU directors, and which reports are due when. We will also discuss the newly developed Reports Checklist. We created the checklist given the feedback from the field. It’s our hope that the checklist will help you organize the reports and increase efficiency during the submission. 19

20. Special Education December Count Criteria
In order for a record to make it to the Special Education December Count Snapshot, the record must be error free at the interchange and meet the snapshot “Criteria” Criteria information may be found in the Special Education December Count File Layout documentation and has been communicated through a variety of training sessions. Reminder for special education staff: The Admin Unit Code must be populated in both the profile and assignment for these staff. Records that don’t meet this criteria don’t make it to snapshot and fall in the pipeline records not in snapshot report. 20

21. Special Education Valid Staff Codes
Additional Links
Special Education December Count Staff Code Tables 21

22. Employment Status Codes
We recently identified changes to the leave code didn’t get updated everywhere in the system
Exception process was put in place internally to help AUs with FTE issues on records where it didn’t calculate.
Records are making it to snapshot with invalid snapshot codes
Development looking at the issue
Valid codes listed in the file layout staff criteria and staff code table. 22

23. Staff Criteria
Criteria for Special Education STAFF December Count snapshot.
Special Education Flag = 1
Start date is December 1st or prior to December 1st of reporting school year
End Date is either blank (not ended) or post December 1st of the reporting school year
 EDID is reported in both Staff Profile & Assignments Interchange (Profile and educational background) and Staff Assignment Association File files for reporting district.
Records with the following Employment Status Codes will be included: 11, 12, 13, 23, 25 or 26
The Staff Profile and Staff Assignment Association File will be joined based on the School year, the teachers EDID, the sped assignment flag = 1, the district (or Admin Unit), and  the records being error free. 23

24. Contract Staff
When reporting contract staff, employment status code 23, you need all the demographic and assignment data on these staff. This isn’t a new requirement but often generates confusion. 24

25. CASELOAD MATCHES
On-going improvements were made to business rules to assist Administrative Units with the caseload matches. However, there is still a great deal of confusion surrounding these mandated requirements.
Helpful Hints:
AUs work with HR to develop an internal system to identify the match up and help with requirements to minimize errors and technical assistance during the collection
The sooner you can get to snapshot errors by being error free at the interchange and having all your records in the snapshot that should be included the easier this match up is to review.
We will continue to look for ways to help you with this process. 25

26. On the Horizon
While you are looking at reports and making changes, please keep in mind that January 21st is a hard deadline for being error free at the interchange and snapshot and affects the state as a whole.
Wednesday January 21, 2016
Date by which the Administrative Unit must have created a Complete Special Education December Count Snapshot in Pipeline, electronically verifying that the STAFF and STUDENT data submitted are valid and reliable AND also submit a signed faxed/ ed report verifying the validity of STAFF and STUDENT data submitted
