4. Washington, DC - February 2013 4  Key principle for EDFacts reporting ◦ Where ESEA Flex has affected a particular data item, ED has made changes, and where it has not, ED has kept the data ask the same (from 1/31 webinar) ◦ SEAs should continue to report all data unless specifically instructed otherwise  Reporting elements that have not changed ◦ Requirement to report components of AYP ◦ Assessment performance by subgroups defined in ESEA statute ◦ School status determinations (permitted values within the data group HAVE changed) ◦ HQT and Title III AMAO data  Timeline for new elements required from Flex states ◦ 3/31/2013: SY 11-12 data on ‘combined subgroups’ ◦ 3/31/2013: SY 11-12 data on Title I allocations to priority and focus schools ◦ 9/30/2013: SY 12-13 data on interventions used in priority and focus schools

16. Washington, DC - February 2013 16  Conference Consolidation ◦ No separate EDFacts Coordinators meeting in 2013 ◦ SLDS Best Practice Conference within MIS Conference  Technical Assistance Coordination ◦ EDTAP (SLDS) and SEISS (EDFacts) resources both providing assistance with CEDS ◦ Regular conversations among ED program staff  Tool Consolidation ◦ How can ED programs use CEDS online tools? ◦ What’s the best use of CEDS online tools to help SEAs and LEAs?

17. Washington, DC - February 2013 17  Goal: Use the online CEDS tools to clarify: ◦ ED’s expectations for what would be used in reporting specific data groups ◦ The process individual SEAs are using to create data groups from student-level systems ◦ The data groups for which SEAs are predominantly using aggregate collections from LEAs (rather than aggregating student level data)  Strategy: Use CEDS Align to map source systems to CEDS, and use CEDS Connect to publish program office expectations currently expressed in guidance
