  data will be used in the improvement planning process
• Document using agendas, meeting notes, CSIPs and CDIP documents

End Dating Primary
Talent Pool (PTP) Records
• Generate a district list of ALL students currently identified as PTP.
  (Gifted Area #12 in IC.) End date each primary talent pool record for
  the anticipated exit date from grade 3. End date any grade 3 students’
  records with the current year last day of school or type 6/30/XXXX
  (XXXX is the end of school year date).
• To expedite this process, when records are entered for students that
  qualify for PTP, an end date in the future should be added to indicate
  the date that the child will exit grade 3. The date to be added will be
  06/30/XXXX with XXXX being the year the child exits grade 3.

                                                                        63
G&T Invalid Primary Talent
   Pool Adhoc Report
• Generate the G&T Invalid
  Primary Talent Pool adhoc
  report. This report will list all
  students who are too old to
  be in PTP (5th - 12th grades).
• Using the SSIDs listed on the
  report, find the student’s GT
  record in IC and end date the
  student’s PTP records using
  the estimated date the
  student exited 3rd grade.
• When all students on the list
  have been corrected, generate
  the list again to ensure there
  are no more records to be
  corrected.

Validation of Student Records

                                65
Getting Started
• Before completing the Validation of GT Records, review the Google
  form Validation of Student Records attached to the email sent
  regarding GT End of Year Processes.
• The form will request state and local data for each gifted category.
• Before the report can be completed, Local data will need to compared
  and validated to State data.
• To do this, follow the instructions on the next several slides.

                                                                     66
Validating State and Local Data
• Ensure you have permissions to the Data Integrity Tools in Infinite
  Campus (IC).
• In order to ensure all GT data is correct for the program data in the
  School Report Card, districts must review and then validate their
  information is correct. In order to correct and update the records the
  following process must occur:
   • Comparison between State and Local data sets
   • If there are missing student records on the Local data set, student records
     must be located and then added or corrected.
   • Once the data is correct, the GT Coordinator will complete the Validation of
     GT Records Report using a link to the Google Form.

                                                                                    67

  of the data in your district.
• The report is sent back to the
  district in the State Report
  Output area once compiled;
  please remember to check the
  status periodically.
                                        70

  validation report will NOT be
  generated immediately:
   • When generating the report,
     District Edition sends a request
     to State Edition for a state

     please remember to check the
     status periodically.

                                        72
Retrieving the State Dataset
• Once completed, select GET
  THE REPORT under the
  Download column

Comparing the State and
Local (district) Datasets
• Once both data sets are generated, you will examine the data sets
  to ensure a direct match.
                                                                                           •   State       •   District
• Guiding Questions
    • Do you have the same number of records on each spreadsheet?                          •   Susie - 2   •   Susie - 2
         • If not, what is different? You will want to make a list of ALL discrepancies.
    • If records appear on district, but not state, run a manual sync at the               •   Susie - 4   •   Susie - 4
      district level (Talk to your KSIS Person)
    • Check to ensure that all records for each student are present. If
      discrepancies are present, document those. If possible, attempt to                   •   Susie - 6   •   Susie - 6
      transfer in the record that is missing from a prior district.
         • Example- (Students with multiple records will appear once for each record.)
                                                                                           •   Susie - 8   •   Susie - 8
• Once you have completed the validation process and corrected any
  errors:
    • If lists match, complete the Google form GT Records Validation Report by
      June 1st.
    • If the lists are different, first utilize the troubleshooting steps below. If the
      steps below do not correct the problem, contact the GT State Consultant
      for assistance to determine next steps for troubleshooting.

                                                                                                                           76
Troubleshooting Discrepancies in Record
Numbers between State and District Reports
• Option 1- If the student appears on State but not District list and has an end date, verify that the
  student has moved and make a note of the discrepancy on the last response of the State Validation
  of GT Records Verification form. (You will still count the child on the state list, you may simply note
  the difference in numbers by adding an * next to the number and a note at the bottom.)
• Note example: *SSID 234567 appears on State list but not District list. This student moved out of
  the district on November 22, XXXX.
• Option 2- Student appears on State list but not District list and DOES NOT have an end date. This
  student’s record may have not been imported when they enrolled. Look at the child’s record in IC.
  If he/she does not have a GT record for the district, attempt to import the record using the Student
  Records Transfer Standard from the prior district. In order to know where to send the records
  transfer, you must know where the student was last enrolled. If you are unable to see where the
  student was last enrolled, contact the GT State Consultant. The GT State Consultant has
  permissions to see all enrollments and GT records in the State.
• Option 3 – Student appears on the District list but not on the State list. For some reason the
  student’s record may not be syncing to the State. Ask your KSIS person to manually sync the
  student’s record to the state. Run the State list again to ensure the student is on the list. If the
  student is still not on the list, contact the GT State Consultant.

                                                                                                      77
Validation of GT Record Report
• Complete the Validation of GT Records when:
   • State and Local records have been compared
   • Notes have been taken on those students who had end-dates to include on
     the report
   • Missing student records imported, and requests sent to previous districts for
     copies of identification documentation, GSSPs and Progress Reports

                                                                                     78
