2015-2016 Fall Master Schedule Collection Webinar Presentation September 22 and 24, 2015
Overview • Fall MSC Reminders/Virtual VA reporting • 2016-2017 Changes • Deadlines • Questions?
2015-2016 MSC No changes to the layout or reports!
SCED Crosswalk • Make sure you look at the changes to the SCED crosswalk • There are several additions and deletions, especially in CTE (many “III” level classes are being deactivated) • The most recent version is September 3, 2015 • Available on the MSC web page • There may be another version released for Fall
Cleaning Up Your Data • Please start cleaning up your 22999 and 72999 (Local Elective) data • There are many divisions using these codes when there are actual course codes that can be used • Example: Grade 3 Math should not be reported with a 72999 code since it has its own code • Exclude unnecessary courses from reporting • We do not need homeroom, discipline, Christmas concert, etc. data • We have started using the data more and this data is not needed
CTE Center Reporting Reminder • Make sure that if you have a CTE center serving your students, you don’t report their data in your collection • CTE centers report directly to DOE, so if you report the data, we get double the data/information • You still need to report Governor’s School and Special Education center data in your MSC collection
Virtual Virginia Reporting • Virtual VA now how its own Division and School Code The Division Code is 501 and The School Code is 0010 • Use these codes to report your Virtual VA classes • You no longer need to report Virtual VA classes under your division • Continue to report Virtual VA as a “3” in the E Record
2016-2017 School Year • Very few changes to the actual MSC layout • We will be adding some C Record fields • VA Sequence field • Sequence field • Other attributes • New SCED codes (version 3.0) will be available in February from NCES, so a new crosswalk (old to new SCED codes) will be released in March • New SCED codes will be used for reporting on the Fall 2016 MSC
2016-2017 School Year • Virginia Course Codes will no longer be valid • The VA Course Code field will be retired completely • The field will become a filler field • Please start converting/cleaning up any VA codes that you are still using • There will no longer be codes for Special Education-specific classes • Report the class being taught and then a defined class type in the D Record • 0127 (Alternative Education) will be reviewed for a possible SCED code; Licensure will be deciding how to report this
Deadlines • The window for Fall MSC is scheduled to open on October 15, 2015 • A successful submission of Fall MSC is due on December 11, 2015 • A successful submission is necessary so that CTE (at both the local and state levels) can start reviewing data and making changes if necessary • The signed verification reports for MSC, IPAL and SEDF are due on January 29, 2016
