4. What is PII?
Student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is defined by state and federal laws as information that, alone or in combination, personally identifies an individual
This includes direct identifiers (i.e. name, SASID, etc.)
Includes information that when combined is identifiable
Colorado’s Student Data Transparency and Security Act introduces a number of new requirements for how Student PII is collected, used and shared
CDE has prepared guidance on how to comply with this and other privacy laws which can be found here:

5. How to Share Data
Check local policies for restrictions, requirements, etc.
Ensure that you are following local policies when transmitting PII to any third party
Use secure methods to transfer any PII to CDE
Call CDE ( ) with questions about how to transmit PII securely
Use Syncplicity to encrypt s to CDE
Avoid sending PII via unencrypted or to unsecured faxes when sharing data between or within districts
Do not use PII in trainings, presentations, etc.
Do not share PII with unauthorized individuals
Do not share passwords

SBD Reviews provide districts with a final opportunity to verify the accuracy of student data prior to reporting and accountability calculations
Data comes from the vendor systems
Most vendors allow for clean up in their data systems (only CO PSAT/SAT does not)
SBD includes additional data validation checks that are not possible within the vendor system (such as SASID validation)
SBD is optional but recommended to allow districts to confirm their data against CDE internal systems
SAT is very very strongly recommended as it is the only opportunity to review student data!

19. Data Pipeline can only check for certain types of errors
5/26/2019
SBDs
Data Pipeline can only check for certain types of errors
It cannot check that your demographic data is accurate (i.e. a student is actually Hispanic or not)
It cannot validate that students have the correct invalidation
The Data File Layout will have instructions for how to select the appropriate invalidation
Do not change/make up data just to clear errors!
If you have a lot of missing data, check a different extract
Maybe the interchange data or vendor data is better
Making up data can cause issues with reporting and accountability
If you have an error that cannot be cleared, but the data is correct contact SBD Support
Warnings
Warnings are used to inform users of situations that may indicate errors but not necessarily (more than 10% Native American)
Warnings do not prevent data submission

20. 5/26/2019
SBDs
All SBD collections allow a district to move students between schools within their district
Moving between districts is collection specific
CMAS – submit a Failsafe document to CDE through Syncplicity
CO PSAT/SAT - Do Not send a Failsafe
The SBD layout will include the Pre-ID and Testing District and School
If these do not match, the student will appear in the SBD data for both districts
Both districts will see the student records and have a chance to review the data and agree on the appropriate Responsible District and School (CDE will monitor students submitted with conflicting Responsible Districts and will contact the data respondents)
DLM – Do Not send a Failsafe
The SBD layout includes the Accountability School and District and the Attendance School (testing)
Accountability school and district is updateable
If you are moving a student out of your district, contact the receiving district to make sure that they are aware of the student and agree to the move (CDE will also verify moves against RITS and Interchange data)

Business Rules are not updated yet, but will be available in time for the collection opening

24. SBDs There are three sets of district and school fields
5/26/2019
SBDs
There are three sets of district and school fields
Pre-ID: where the record was submitted during bulk registration
Testing: the school that sent in the student test book
Responsible: the district and school where the student should be counted for accountability
If Pre-ID and Testing district do not match, the record will be split and both districts will see a copy
These records will have a CO SAT Record ID Number starting with ‘P’ or ‘T’
Responsible district and school will default to your district so that the accountability variables are calculated correctly if you are keeping the record
If you are not the responsible district simply update responsible district and school to the district and school that you believe the student should be in
We will only use data submitted in the record coming from the responsible district so you do not need to update any other data for that record, contact SBD Support to ignore errors on this record

25. After SBD closes the split records will be compared
5/26/2019
SBDs
After SBD closes the split records will be compared
If both districts agree on the responsible district for that record it will be automatically associated with that district and only the data they submitted will be used for the final data, including invalidations
If the two records do not have matching responsible districts then CDE will contact both parties to determine who should receive the record
CDE will try to start this before the end of SBD but be prepared to receive phone calls on 5/24 and 5/28 after the window closes

26. 5/26/2019
SBDs
Students who are tested at a facility may appear with a blank testing institution
If you believe that a student appearing in your SBD was actually tested at a facility, contact SBD Support to verify and get instructions on documentation

27. 5/26/2019
SBDs
Students should only take the test for the grade in which they are enrolled on the day of testing
If a student is promoted after testing you should not change the grade on the record
If a student was promoted between October count and testing they should have taken the test for the grade they were promoted to
Students who were promoted to 12th grade after October count may be included due to being in the Pre-ID if they were not invalidated by their school. These students should be invalidated with ’03 – Withdrew Before Testing’
If a student was given the wrong test for their grade at the time of testing please contact SBD Support for further instructions

28. 5/26/2019
SBDs
Continuous in District and School are very important fields for accountability
Students coded as 0 will not be included in accountability calculations
This field is calculated during SBD based on the student’s enrollment at October count but the calculation is based on the initial Responsible District and School
If you change the Responsible District or School during SBD please double check that the continuous fields are accurate
If you change it to a district that is not yours, remember that your data will not be used so these fields do not need to updated
If you get an error when trying to update these fields for records that are staying in your district contact SBD Support for assistance

29. 5/26/2019
SBDs
Valid answer sheet received can help with determining the status of a student’s test
‘Y’ means that an answer sheet was received with at least one item response (student will receive a valid score) or an invalidation (student did not test and school provided an invalidation)
‘N’ means that no answer sheet was received for a student who was submitted for Pre-ID
‘B’ means that an answer sheet was received either with a label or bubbled demographic information, but there were no responses or invalidations bubbled on the sheet

30. 5/26/2019
SBDs
Invalidation codes may be bubbled on the student answer sheet by the school
There may be errors/multiple invalidations and these must be corrected during SBD to a single valid code
Invalidations can also be added during SBD
If Valid Answer Sheet received is ‘Y’ and there is no invalidation code from the school then that student will receive a valid score and an invalidation should not added
Records with no Answer Sheet or a blank answer sheet may need to have invalidations applied
Invalidations are only used by CDE assessment and accountability
Students will still receive scores through the College Board system if they completed the test
If you have a record for a student that is no longer in your district, update the Responsible District and School rather than invalidating

31. Duplicate records may occur in the following situations:
5/26/2019
SBDs
Duplicate records may occur in the following situations:
If a student has two valid answer sheets
If neither record has an invalidation then the test taken second should be invalidated with ’01’. Contact SBD Support to determine which record should be kept.
Duplicates with an invalidation of ’03’ have been removed from the file for
If an answer sheet was bubbled rather using a label and the demographic information was not able to be matched to any existing registered record
Clearing RITS errors will allow these records to be matched to the pre-id and will resolve the duplication
No invalidation should be applied

33. READ Collection

34. READ Data Collection Timeline

35. READ Act Legislative Update
Senate Bill has passed: s/2019A/bills/2019a_199_enr.pdf
In new legislation there is a 22% reduction to the total distribution amount for per-pupil funds
READ funds have always varied based on the total number of SRD students reported so we will not have the exact per-pupil amount until August
Districts are expected to complete the budget planning survey as they have in the past

36. What is the READ Plan Field and Why do we Report it?
The READ Act requires the creation and implementation of an individual intervention plan (READ Plan) for students identified as having an SRD
The READ Plan field allows CDE to report per the READ Act on when students reach reading competency and are removed from their READ Plan
A student’s READ Plan remains in place until the student attains reading competency, regardless of the student’s grade level
Districts determine when students reach grade level competency by using a body of evidence to support those decisions

37. READ Plan “Road Map” Example
Spring 2018
Student’s READ Plan is removed suggesting they have demonstrated reading competency
Fall 2018
Student was identified as having a significant reading deficiency (SRD) and put on a READ Plan
2nd Grade
3rd Grade
Fall 2019
Student not identified with SRD and still demonstrates reading competency in next grade level, suggesting they will remain on-track for meeting important reading outcomes.
Middle 2018
Student has gained enough skills to no longer have an SRD, but has not yet made enough progress to be considered reading competent – student remains on READ Plan

38. How to use the READ plan field for K-3 students:
Scenario
READ Plan Coding
K-3 student identified with an SRD at any time throughout the year (READ Status = 2 SRD)
0 – No (student is not on a READ Plan)
1 – Yes (student has a READ Plan in place)
K-3 student never identified with an SRD (READ Status = 1 not SRD)
2 – NA (READ Plan is not applicable since student has not been identified with SRD)
K-3 student identified at the beginning of the year as having an SRD and put on a READ Plan, but by the end of the year is testing beyond the cut score for SRD. However, this student has not yet demonstrated reading competency and still has a READ Plan in place
K-3 student has demonstrated grade level competency (determined locally) and has been removed from their READ Plan
0 – No (student has been removed from READ Plan)
