NO data will be modified without a district’s EXPRESS e-mail request.

  15. AADSIDistrict Responsibility • All e-mails involving authorizations for AADSI action must include that district’s unique digital code assigned on that district’s CD.

  16. AADSITimeline • Interagency Agreement 13 Aug 2002 • AADSI available to users 10 Jan 2003 • Last day for data entry 16 Mar 2003 • Data to districts for validation 21 Mar 2003 • Last day correction/validation 15 April 2003 • AADSI validated data to ADE 30 April 2003

  17. AADSISummary • AADSI • Serves all districts regardless of size • Accessible from any internet connection • Cost effective – single implementation • “Real-Time” data entry and summary reporting • SAIS or CENSUS number required • Districts have explicit responsibilities
