  16. How can I verify my data review/appeal is successfully submitted? The Completion Status of the form must be “Superintendent Approved”

  17. Benefits to Submitting Appeals Earlier in Appeal Window • The sooner you submit your appeal the more time you will have to correct your data • More opportunities to receive EMIS reports • More updated reports in the Secure Data Center

Can I get an extension? • Approval can be done online, or even on your cell phone • If your Superintendent is unavailable then the Superintendent designee (in OEDS) can approve the form • If an EMIS coordinator is out unexpectedly, the Superintendent or Superintendent Designee can fill out the form

  19. Upcoming CTE Specific Data Appeals

  20. CTE Assessment Appeals • EMIS is creating a Missing List for CTE Technical Assessments • Appeal for Career Tech Accountability Assessment Collection (FY19) (2019ACTSP) • Appeal likely in early December • Watch for EMIS Newsflash • Districts with approved appeals will resubmit data in EMIS

  21. March Concentrator Appeals • Purpose: Opportunity to identify 'CTE Program of Concentration' data reporting errors in the past that are causing a student to be excluded from the 2019 March list. • Timeframe: Winter. • Watch for EMIS Newsflash

  22. Rules for Inclusion in March File • Student was funded in a CTE workforce development course aligned to the reported program of concentration during the year that they were reported as a concentrator • “Left school" during the 2017-2018 school year • Earned a diploma or dropped out

  23. Appeal Spreadsheet

  24. Appeal Spreadsheet • Download student spreadsheet with instructions and sample. • Accurately and completely, fill out spreadsheet. Failure to do so may result in your appeal not being accepted for further review. • Upload completed spreadsheet in the 'Upload Data' section of appeal. • Data supplied used to make corrections

  25. Appeal Spreadsheet

  26. File Requirements

  27. File Sample

  28. Common Points of Confusion • Appeal is only for CTE Program of Concentration element reporting • Cannot appeal misreported course master, student-course, student demographic data • Cannot dispute CTE 26 or funding data

  29. Common Points of Confusion • Student must have “left school” during the 2017-2018 school year • This means anytime between the first day of your 2017-18 school year and the first day of the 2018-19 school year • If didn’t leave school, then report them as a concentrator during the FY2019 Student Collections • Do not submit an appeal

  30. Common Points of Confusion • If a student who you reported as a concentrator moves to a new district: • Counts at the new district if the new district reports them as a concentrator • Counts at your district if the new district does not report them as a concentrator • Do not submit an appeal

  31. Common Points of Confusion • If student is not on list who you reported as a concentrator, research before appealing: • Concentrator code aligns with the subject code the student was enrolled in? • Student got CTE weighted funding in that class? • Student left school in 2017-18? • Verify actually reported the concentrator code?

  32. Common Points of Confusion • To remove student from the list who was never a concentrator, use Other Follow-up Status Element (GV660) • Option “X” Incorrectly reported as a CTE Concentrator • DO NOT APPEAL SUBMIT AN APPEAL

  33. March (D) Data Review & Appeals • In April-May, after FY19 March Follow-up (D) Collection closes • Placement results • Industry Credentials, CTE assessments, etc. • Cannot appeal which students are in the March file at this point
