As you are aware, the Attendance data collection occurs at the end of the school year and access to staff that can assist with the accuracy of the data may not be available, To assist with resolving this issue, a trial period will occur May 1 – 31, 2007. In previous years, the required collection period started in June and would remain open until school resumed in the fall, primarily because of conflict resolution (See conflict resolution below), one of the busiest times of the year. The DOE-AT collection resulted in a six (6) month window of collection which is neither efficient nor acceptable by all stakeholders. It is imperative that all public schools, accredited nonpublic schools, charter schools, and freeway schools participate during this trial period. This period will increase the contact time for resolving conflicts between one or more schools. To minimize issues during the trial period some of the features found in the Application Center will not be available during this period; such as the Attendance report with the calculation of attendance rate and data transfer warnings or errors on days between beginning and ending dates. Field values of BOS and EOS for Beginning Date and Ending Date, fields 3 and 4, will be taken from the 06-07 calendar submitted in May/June of 2006 instead of the “actual” school calendar as it occurred at the end of 06-07 which each corporation will update along with the Certification of Instructional Days. Conflict resolution will function as described on the data layout however; the data must be corrected locally before submission during the required collection period. All data submitted during this trial period will be deleted at the end of the day May 31, 2007. The attendance data is of critical importance as it is used in determining Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). |
