        •   Guidance (Career Pathways, CTE, Regents Exemptions)
        •   Coordinators of grants that affect funding such as LEP, Title I, UPK, Homeless
     • Ideally, the DDC/CIO should be coordinating this process, loading corrected
       extracts in Level 0 and watching the reports to make sure those corrections are
       reflected in L2RPT.
     • Once the corrections are made, have persons responsible sign off on the accuracy
       of that report.
     • ALL final reports should be reviewed again for accuracy before the
       Superintendent certifies as accurate or inaccurate.

     Don’t Forget the Data Journey
     • There are many opportunities to loose students where data
       can error out and not make it up to NYSED.
     • Just because data was loaded it into Level 0, we can’t assume
       that it made it all the way up to SED.
     • The business rules get stricter the closer we get to L2RPT.

                                    Remember…
     • The stakes are high. Our data has to be accurate
         • Districts are analyzing data to drive curriculum and instruction needs. You must
           have good clean data to improve teaching and learning in your district.
         • District funding (State Aid) is allocated by your district data counts
         • Data is given to the media (Newsday), posted on public websites, and used in
           numerous surveys – i.e. property values can rise and fall when people look at this
           data
         • The data is used in creating the NYS Report Card.
         • District data is also sent to the Federal Gov’t for reporting and research purposes.
     • We are entering a new world of Big Data.
         • Every data point can now be looked at and scrutinized.
         • Data will be compared in ways that we have not seen before
         • Equity across many data points will be looked at

     About This Report
      This report is found in the Accountability folder
      The Student Daily Attendance template is used to collect
       ISS = in‐school suspension, and OSS = out‐of‐school
       suspension)
      Be sure your mapping is correct so that In‐school‐
       suspensions and Out of school suspensions equate to
       ISS/OSS state codes and not absences.
      Have building admins check student detail for ISS and OSS
         Check subgroup details; grade, race, etc…
         Check for disproportionality among race and disabilities
     As per NYSED guidance, since no daily attendance codes are reported on a day that is coded as Pub Health Inst,
     students should not be reported as suspended on those days.

      Day Calendar Attendance Codes FAQ’s Review
     Day Calendar coding is a local decision. NYSED has provided options for districts with the new
     codes.
     Two (2) new SIRS Day Calendar Type Codes were added:
     1. Pub health/inst – use this code when an LEA, BOCES or school building closed due to COVID‐
          19 and continuity of learning were provided to students.
     2. Pub health/no inst – use this code when an LEA, BOCES or school building closed due to
          COVID‐19 and continuity of learning was not provided to students.
     Additionally:
     • Regular Student Daily Attendance should be reported for the 2019‐20 school year up until the
       time of COVID school closures.
     • Days on which the Public Health Day Calendar Type Codes is reported will be excluded from
       the calculation of chronic absenteeism rates.
     • Student Daily Attendance is NOT to be reported for any student on any day coded as one of
       the new Public Health Day Calendar Type Codes (“Pub health/inst” or “Pub health/no
       inst”).
                                                                                                  48

        Day Calendar SIRS‐370

     We have found a few districts have not yet coded their PHI / PHNI days appropriately.

                                                                                                          49

        Day Calendar Attendance Codes FAQ’s Review
        12. Is a SIRS Day Calendar Type Code connected to the computation of State Aid or the 180‐Day
        Session/Hour requirement?
        The SIRS Day Calendar Type Code is not used in the computation or allocation of State Aid. The
        data used for the computation of State Aid is reported in the State Aid Management System
        (SAMS).

        3. When is it appropriate to use the “Pub health/inst” or the “Pub health/no inst” Codes?
        The two (2) new SIRS Day Calendar Type Codes are to be used when an LEA, BOCES or school
        closure occurs due to COVID‐19, including any closures that occurred prior to the Executive
        Order.

        Should the “Pub health/inst” or “Pub health/no inst” SIRS Day Calendar Type Code be used on
        a day when a school was previously scheduled to be closed for instruction, such as vacation, if
        that day occurs during the period of a public health closure?
        Pub health/inst” should be used when Continuity of Learning is provided and “Pub health/no
        inst” should be used on a day when no Continuity of Learning is provided.
                                                                                                          50

      English Language Learners – May 13, 2020 memo
     9. Since the 2020 NYSESLAT has been cancelled as a result of the COVID‐19 outbreak,
     how will schools be able to exit any students from ELL services in the 2020‐21 school
     year?
     School districts are to program all ELLs according to their mandated units of study for
     their level of English proficiency in 2019‐20.
     • An exception to this requirement may be made for students who:
        scored Expanding on the 2019 NYSESLAT and
        who took and passed the Regents Examination in English Language Arts in January
          2020 with a score of 65 or higher.
        • These students will be considered to have met the exit criteria for ELL services
          pursuant to Part 154.3(m)(1)(ii).
        • These students will be reclassified as Former English Language Learners in the
          beginning of the 2020‐21 school year.
     To exit these students:
     End LEP Eligible Program Fact Records (0231) with exit reason code 3022 and exit date 2020‐06‐30

                                                                                                                 54

         Seal of Biliteracy – May 13, 2020 memo
        16.Can students earn the NYSSB using a waived exam?
        Yes. Students who, due to COVID‐19‐related school closures, have been
        exempted from a Regents Examination in English Language Arts (ELA)
        that they were planning to take in June 2020 shall be exempt from such
        assessment for the purposes of meeting NYSSB requirements so long as
        they have:
        • demonstrated proficiency in the ELA learning standards assessed
          through the provided coursework and
        • earned credit for such course by the end of the 2019‐20 school year.
          In this case, the exempted Regents examination may be applied as a
          point towards NYSSB’s “Criteria for Demonstrating Proficiency in
          English” requirement.
                                                                                           55

         BEDS Day Report vs. Snapshot Data

                                                                                                                             67

     Certain data comes from your Special Ed System and some data comes from your SMS.
     • It is important to know which data comes from which system.
     Both sets of data merge when loaded into Level 0.
     • It is common to have discrepancies between systems.
     • Data will not move if errors are not resolved.

     There is no right or wrong, but both systems must match.

                  Special Ed Events Non‐Compliance
     From: Marcia Schneider 
     Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2020 1:05 PM
     Subject: Re: Special Ed Events question

     We cannot make recommendations related to COVID‐19. The federal government did not implement any
     compliant reasons due to COVID‐19 and districts need to pick the best appropriate reason for delays. If
     there is noncompliance districts will need to go through the noncompliance review process with their
     regional associate. We fully expect an increase in noncompliance for the 2019‐20 school year.
     Thanks,
     Marcia

     Hi Marcia‐ what is your recommendation for which reason code to use when evaluations were delayed due
     to COVID?
