Invalid STN Cleanup

We have just received our first preliminary data from the fall ISTEP results that need your immediate attention. We have matched the data from CTB against the data in the STN Lookup by name and birth to obtain the correct STN number. There are about 2,100 records statewide that still have STN numbers that do not conform to the rules (must be 9 characters, cannot contain special characters, or blank).

You will have until November 30, 2007 to make the corrections in the Application Center. Go to Data Transfer>Input Forms>ISTEP/LAS STN Correction>2007-2008. Correct the STN for each student listed for the 2007-2008 school year. The information shown comes from the results of the tests being bubbled and may contain multiple errors; however, the only correction that can be made is to the invalid STN. Date of birth, grade and names are represented to help identify the correct STN and cannot be corrected. Valid STN numbers incorrectly reported cannot be changed at this time.

If you have questions, please contact the Division of Educational Information Systems Help desk at 317-234-5276 or 800-527-4931.
