ISES Vendor Conference: Morning Session

1. ISES Vendor Conference:Morning Session March 23, 2007

2. The Wisconsin Student Number Locator System (WSLS) and Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES) were developed and implemented to meet NCLB public reporting and accountability requirements. Because WSLS and ISES are student level data collections, the data can be aggregated many different ways to meet other state and federal data requirements and to answer key school improvement questions. Protecting student privacy is DPI�s number one priority and security features have been designed with this in mind. WSLS is an ongoing data collection maintained throughout the year that is used (1) to assign new Wisconsin Student Numbers (WSNs) to students entering Wisconsin Public Schools and (2) to help ensure that the WSNs stay with students as they move from school to school and district to district. It is very important that each student�s WSNs be permanent, unique and unduplicated because these numbers are to be used by other data collections and in the generation of reports about your school and district. ISES is an annual data collection encompassing the 3rd Friday of September enrollment count and several year end indicators from the immediately preceding school term, such as high school completion, dropouts, attendance, grade advancement, and English language proficiency acquisition. WSLS is the starting point for ISES so WSLS should be up to date prior to submitting ISES data. ISES uses WSNs instead of student names to collect student demographic and outcome data for the school population defined by WSLS. ISES data, in general, are more sensitive and confidential than WSLS data. Use of WSNs help protect privacy and facilitate consolidation of data collections. ISES reports will be publicly disseminated (e.g. WINSS) and used for preliminary accountability determinations, grant allocations, etc. The Guiding Principles of the WSLS and ISES are posted http://www.dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/isesprinc.html The Wisconsin Student Number Locator System (WSLS) and Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES) were developed and implemented to meet NCLB public reporting and accountability requirements.

3. Topics for Morning Session Review of the Fall 2006 ISES Collection Changes in WSLS ISES Data Element Changes Preparing for Fall 2008

4. Review of the Fall 2006 ISES Collection

5. Significant improvement in meeting the timeline DPI, vendors, CESAs and other groups need to continue to encourage the submission of timely and accurate data Data will be posted on WINSS beginning in April

6. Count Date Status: Improve enrollment data by reinforcing proper submission of Count Date Status: Submitted for all students Indicates eligibility for inclusion in the public enrollment count Indicates attendance status on the count date Count date status is submitted for all students and indicates whether a student is eligible to be included in the public enrollment count for the 3rd Friday in September, Count Date Status - http://www.dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/datacount.html. The element also indicates whether a student was present or absent on the count date. For ISES purposes, students who were absent on the count date and who were not receiving educational services on at least one day between the count date and the end of the ISES collection period should have an exit date before the count date or have Count Date Status code of N. Count Date Status has been incorrectly used by some districts to identify students which are IDEA eligible. With the consolidation of Child Count into the ISES, we are concerned that this issue may recur. By providing Primary Disability that does not equal �N�, the student is identified as IDEA eligible. Refer to the data element definition for Disability for more information, http://www.dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/datadisab.html.Count date status is submitted for all students and indicates whether a student is eligible to be included in the public enrollment count for the 3rd Friday in September, Count Date Status - http://www.dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/datacount.html.

7. Primary Disability: ISES IDEA eligible count was lower than Child Count To improve data quality verify that the following scenarios are included: Alternative Settings Early Childhood Services Non-resident Students Disability - http://www.dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/datadisab.html ISES disability data from the count date for the 2006-07 school term has been compared between ISES and the parallel collection of Child Count data. We are concerned that ISES enrollment for IDEA eligible students is significantly lower than Child Count. This year we will focus on improving the quality of the special education data. We encourage districts to review students in alternative settings, student in early childhood and students receiving services from a district other than the resident district. Later this spring, we will post a district summary of the Third Friday of September counts for 2006-07 from Child Count and ISES and encourage districts to carefully review and identify the source of the discrepancy and plan accordingly so that the ISES counts will be correct for 2007-08.

8. Educational Services provided outside of District Facilities: Improve quality of enrollment data for students receiving services at the State schools and in alternative settings: Wisconsin School for the Deaf Wisconsin School for the Blind and Visually Impaired CESAs CCDEBs Universities and Colleges Residential Care Centers Other Third Party Providers Hospitals (not a 3rd Party) Juvenile Detention Centers (not a 3rd party) Jails (not a 3rd party) Enrollment reported in the ISES is far below the actual enrollment of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf and the Wisconsin School for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Districts which send students to either State school are responsible for reporting these students to the WSLS and ISES. Attendance at the State school is identified by the Third Party Provider data element. We are concerned that hospitalized and incarcerated students are under reported and misreported. Students who are hospitalized or incarcerated in facilities within the district, excluding schools governed by the Department of Corrections and the Department of Health and Family Services, must be reported by the local district. For example, a student incarcerated for 5 days outside the resident district should be exited from the resident district which was providing services, enrolled in the district of the jail for the short duration, exited and then re-enrolled in the resident district when the student returns. CORRECTION 3/29: Note that all transfers which are greater than one school day should be reported in the WSLS and ISES.Enrollment reported in the ISES is far below the actual enrollment of the Wisconsin School for the Deaf and the Wisconsin School for the Blind and Visually Impaired.

29. Need for Individual Student Data to meet requirements of a major expansion in discipline data reporting for the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to meet requirements of ESEA and Wisconsin School Performance Report The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 requires a major expansion in the discipline data reported to the public and the US Department of Education. This expansion takes effect beginning with the collection of 2006-07 discipline data from Wisconsin school districts and non-district charter schools in the summer and early fall of 2007. It is not too early to consider changes in your district�s local discipline data record-keeping procedures in order to prepare for this change. Discipline data required by state law and a more limited range of IDEA-required data has over the past several years been collected as part of the Wisconsin School Performance Report (SPR) aggregate collection. This collection is already extensive, and confusing, and we believe change is needed to improve data quality. After a thorough review of the new IDEA requirements, DPI has concluded that collecting the expanded set of discipline data in the SPR aggregate collection is no longer a feasible alternative to a student-level discipline collection. Consequently, the 2005-06 will be the final year of the WI SPR discipline collection. The required 2006-07 discipline data will be collected from districts and nondistrict charter schools as part of the Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES). With this change it will also be possible to eliminate the collection of school-safety and discipline data in the ESEA Consolidated End of Year Report.

45. Days Removed CORRECTION 3/29: Days Removed will not be reported in the same manner as Attendance. Days Removed should be reported as 1.0 or 0.5 depending on the portion of the student's day rather than the portion of the regular school day. Days Removed is rounded DOWN, while Days of Attendance is rounded UP. Removals for less than half the student's school day should not be reported. For example, a student with an alternative schedule such as 2 periods every morning would be reported in the ISES TFS with 5 half days or 2.5 days of possible attendance per week. If this student was suspended from 2 calendar days of classes, the student would have 2 Days Removed. Consider another student suspended for less than half of his or her school day plus 2 subsequent days. 2 Days Removed would be reported as removals from less than half a day should not be reported. If a student was suspended for greater than half of his or her school day, but less than a full day, then 0.5 Days Removed would be reported. Days Removed and Services Provided are only collected for the current term (term in which the removal date occurs), as this is the manner in which the data was collected in the SPR application.  Return to School / Expulsion Return Year For expulsions which span multiple terms, Return to School will be gathered during the collection year where the Expulsion Return Year = Collection Year. No other information in the removal or incident will be modifiable. If a student is expelled from 12/04/06 -12/03/07, the Expulsion Return Year will be 2008.

Days Removed and Services Provided are only collected for the current term (term in which the removal date occurs), as this is the manner in which the data was collected in the SPR application. Return to School / Expulsion Return Year For expulsions which span multiple terms, Return to School will be gathered during the collection year where the Expulsion Return Year = Collection Year. No other information in the removal or incident will be modifiable. If a student is expelled from 12/04/06 -12/03/07, the Expulsion Return Year will be 2008.
