Technical Amendments

SY 2017-18 and 2018-19



Contents

Purpose

This document describes technical amendments proposed for the EDFacts data set for SY 2017-18 and 2018-19. The supporting attachments have been updated to reflect the amendments and are submitted with this change request. These changes are to:

  • Align the language used in the EDFacts data set to the terminology used in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA);

  • Fix technical errors in EDFacts documentation; and

  • Assign DG and FS identification numbers (IDs) to new data groups.

Background

The current EDFacts data set is approved for three school years: 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19. The EDFacts data set is primarily collected through the EDFacts Submission System (ESS) and submitted by state educational agencies (SEAs). ESS is an electronic collection system that collects data at the state, local education agency (LEA), and school levels. This approach has allowed the U.S. Department of Education (ED) to have a robust set of data while also modernizing the collection approach from the SEAs.


ED is currently collecting the SY 2016-17 data. ED plans to begin collecting the SY 2017-18 data by December of 2017.


The EDFacts data set is composed of data groups and categories. The structure of the EDFacts data set is explained in Attachment E of the approved data set.

Technical Amendments To Align with ESSA

This section explains the requested technical amendments to the EDFacts data set. All changes are changes in terminology and thus do not change the burden for this collection. The changes are:


  • Changing from “Academic Progress Indicator” to “Other Academic Indicator”

  • Removing reference to diplomas

  • Changing from “after five years” to “within five years”

  • Changing from “migrant students to “migratory students

Change to “Other Academic Indicator”

The term “Academic Progress Indicator” was used in regulations that have subsequently been rescinded. The term from the statute is “Other Academic Indicator.” This change impacts one data group.

Change to “Migratory Students”

The term in the previous package was “migrant students.” The term from the statute is “migratory students.” This change impacts the following data groups:

  • Migrant Status

  • Migrant Priority for Services (Only)

  • Continuation (Only)

  • MEP Services

Data group names were updated in Attachment B-3 but not marked as a change.

Reduce Disaggregation

Previously, the data on assessments in mathematics and reading/language arts was collected by School Year Attendance Status (also known as Full Academic Year Status). The Department has determined that these additional disaggregations of the data are not required. Therefore, the category “School Year Attendance Status” is removed from all the category sets (Attachment B-4) and subtotals for the following DGs (Attachment B-3).

Reporting Periods

In a couple of places, the reporting period in Attachment B-3 Data Groups is incorrect. The reporting periods should match the reporting periods listed in Attachment B-1. These corrections align the data groups between Attachment B-1 and B-3. Thus, there is no change in burden.

Subtotal

Under ESSA, states can have more than one school quality or student success indicator status. To accommodate this, the data group school quality or student success indicator status table includes the category Indicator Type. An error was made in the data group structure for the status for all students. Generally, the status for all students is the education unit total. However, since the states can have more than one indicator, Indicator Type must be included with the status for all students. The data group has been revised.
