Re: ED-2019-ICCD-0026

Dear Director,

The California Department of Education is in support of the proposed changes to the Minimum Data Elements (MDEs) for the Migrant Student Information Exchange. The MDEs being eliminated, birth city, birth state, and birth country are not vital to the program. We appreciate the reduction in our reporting burden and information collection requirements.

If you have any questions regarding this subject, please contact Juli Auld, Education Research and Evaluation Consultant, Migrant Education Office by phone at 916-319-0410 or by email at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Dear Director,

I would simply recommend the values of data element 9 "Sex" be expanded to include alternate choices.

Thank you,

OME Response: The Office of Migrant Education (OME) appreciates the commenter’s recommendation regarding alternate choices for minimum data element (MDE) #9, sex of the migratory child. Although we will proceed with the collection as currently structured (two options: “Male” or “Female”), we will consider options for future amendments to MDE #9.
