Introduction

The EDFacts Metadata and Process System (EMAPS) is a web-based tool used to provide SEAs with an easy method of reporting and maintaining information on state policies, plans, and other metadata to aid in the analysis of data collected. It is also used for data collections that are better suited to a web-based collection.

Modernization impact: In 2023, EDFacts will begin transitioning metadata collections from EMAPS to EDPass. EDPass is a submission tool that allows data submitters to use one tool for both metadata and data file submissions. Content and burden remain stable; the tool change is necessary to meet new security standards and to improve the efficiency of data processing.

In the tables below, the Reference column lists the section names and question numbers that are used to organize each question. This column also includes skip logic. These might be altered slightly to ensure that questions appear proper on web pages.

Changes from prior year are marked with “(Revised60!)”, “(New60!)”, “(Revised30!)”, “(Retire30!)”, Changes are also summarized in the introduction to each collection.

Changes from the approved June 2022 package are marked with “(Technical Correction)”

metaData collections

Metadata are information to explain other data. Like all data collections, the EDFacts collection requires metadata. Metadata collected from SEAs aid the analysis and appropriate use of data. The metadata to be collected range from information to support data submissions (e.g., completeness) to capturing state policies surrounding data collection (e.g., student count dates). EDFacts minimizes the burden on SEAs to report metadata by rigorously evaluating the need for the information and prioritizing metadata that pertain to critical data items.

It is possible as EDFacts data are collected that the items in the metadata collections will be altered slightly to ensure the proper metadata are collected to support ED’s understanding of the EDFacts data.

state submission plan (SSP) (Revised60!) (REVISED30!) (Technical correction)

SEAs are responsible for maintaining a submission plan that provides details regarding its plans for reporting data via EDFacts. The plans indicate whether SEAs will submit files on time, the estimated number of educational units that will be submitted for each file level, and a status flag to indicate when the submission of data for each reporting level is complete and ready for ED’s review. This information is necessary in order to monitor state progress on file submissions, evaluate timeliness of submissions, and to provide a mechanism for SEAs to communicate to ED the completeness of the data they submitted. Given the observed discrepancies in some states between subtotals for Sex and totals for all students, we added three two metadata questions to better understand permitted values used within each state. The responses may be used to generate data notes for added data user context.

For each file specification SEAs provide the information below.

ACCOUNTABILTY mETADATA (REVISED30!)

This metadata collection relates to the collection of data on Title I, Part A accountability systems for ESEA, as amended by ESSA as defined in approved ESEA consolidated State plans for the reporting year. This metadata collection relates to the following EDFacts Submission System (ESS) file specifications:

• FS 199 Graduation Rate Indicator Status

• FS 200 Academic Achievement Indicator Status

• FS 201 Other Academic Indicator Status

• FS 202 School Quality or Student Success Indicator Status

• FS 205 Progress Achieving English Language Proficiency Indicator Status

• State-Defined Subgroups (FS 199, FS 200, FS 201, FS 202 and 212)

For purposes of this metadata collection, a measure is a component part of an indicator. For example, the Academic Achievement indicator could be composed of a measure for mathematics and a measure for reading/language arts. For each measure for an indicator, a State reports school performance using State-defined statuses for the measure. ED proposes collecting this metadata survey manually for at least the first year to allow states more flexibility in responding to this collection.

	If the measure type is Performance levels, an Index, or Other, describe the measure. For Performance levels, list the labels for the performance levels, starting with the lowest performance level. For an index, provide the lowest and highest possible numerical values. For other types of measures, use text to list and describe the State-defined statuses used to report the measure for FS 199. If the measure type is Met/not met or Percentage scale, no further information is needed.	[Text]
