One additional data item, needed for federal reporting, has recently been added to the Master File Collection. Please supply this item for each school in your district by December 31, 2007. The data item requested is: The unduplicated number of computers available to students for instruction (e.g. in classrooms, media centers, and moved from one classroom to another on media carts) in each of the following four (4) categories, as applicable:

(1) Dialup
(2) High Speed Wired
(3) High Speed Wireless
(4) No Connectivity

This information can be entered online at http://www.doe.in.gov/htmls/doemf.html. As a reminder, the purpose of the Master File/School Directory data collection is to gather profiles of School Corporation and schools for use in mailings, school directories, phone contacts, data submission, and email. Profile information includes the Superintendent’s name, Principal’s name, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers of each school. Principal Alert and Messaging System (PAMS) and Superintendent Alert and Messaging System (SAMS) email contacts are generated from the information provided. This collection will be available for updates throughout the school year. The profile information on public schools and nonpublic schools in your district that open, close or change grade configurations at the beginning of the school year or during the school year should be faxed on letterhead to 317-233-6326.

Thanks for your cooperation. If you have questions, please contact Information Systems at 317-232-0808 or 800-527-4931.
