Section 1: General Information
Purpose and Audience
The purpose of the New York State Student Information Repository System (SIRS) is to provide a single source of standardized individual student records for analysis at the local, regional, and State levels to improve student performance and to meet State and federal reporting and accountability requirements.
The purpose of this document is to provide definitions of the data sets to be submitted to SIRS and of the individual data elements in those sets, to provide the business rules and basic edits that apply to those elements, and to outline the formats and layouts required for submissions The audience for this document is vendors of information systems, individual local educational agencies (LEAs) and those responsible for creating and/or extracting student data.
Levels of the SIRS (NYS Data Warehouse)
There are multiple data collection points within SIRS The first point is the local student management system (SMS) used by an LEA Typically, the student demographic, school enrollment and program data are collected in these local systems LEAs may also use other systems to collect special education data and other program related data These ancillary systems may be the primary source for data, such as student disability and free and reduced lunch Test scoring units within RICs or the Big 5 School Districts also provide data related to assessments LEAs may begin their entry into SIRS at "Level 0"
Level 0 is a web-based application hosted by the RICs For LEAs, required schools and agencies who
must submit data through SIRS, this application provides them the ability to enter and verify these data trough edit checks Data can be exported into Level 0 or manually For LEAs that do not have a student management system, Level 0 is the means by which they may enter their data It may also be used to collect additional data that may not be available in a student management system Verified data is exported from Level 0 in a format that can be loaded directly into the Level 1 repository
SIRS repository levels 0, 1, 2 and 3, all use the eScholar® data warehouse system and data model, which hold demographic, enrollment, programmatic, assessment, special education snapshot and special
education events data The primary data source for these repositories is a local LEA’s SMS (including special education student management systems)
Level 1 repositories are implemented and operated by a RIC or a Big 5 School District Each Level 1
repository includes, at a minimum, all the data elements defined in the data dictionary In addition to meeting State reporting requirements, users of the Level 1 repositories may make use of additional data elements in the eScholar® templates to meet local or regional needs These data may be used for local data analysis and reporting or for pre-printing answer sheets In addition, the demographic data elements are used in the New York State Student Identifier System (NYSSIS - defined below) to create unique student IDs, which are stored and maintained at this level Data are loaded into Level 1 repositories using data templates and load procedures provided within the eScholar® application All school districts, charter schools, State-operated schools and State agencies that operate educational programs and child care institutions that operate a school must participate in a Level 1 Repository These repositories are used to prepare data for submission to the Level 2 (Statewide) Repository Data in the Level 1 Repository are available only to users with a legitimate educational interest.
The Level 2 Repository is a single statewide data warehouse, where all K-12 (including select Pre-K,
Universal Pre-K and preschool) student data from Level 1 are aggregated Level 2 holds records for all students and provides the basis for NYS and federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) accountability decisions, and provides a resource for educators and policy makers to employ data-driven decisions to improve curriculum and instruction Level 2 records include student names and unique identifiers assigned by the NYSSIS Data in the Level 2 Repository are available only to users with a legitimate educational interest.
Trang 8The Level 3 Repository is the NYSED data warehouse This is a single warehouse used by NYSED to
meet State and federal reporting requirements This level replicates the student records on the Level 2 repository but with student names and unique identifiers encrypted to protect the privacy of students Standard aggregations
of data from the Level 3 Repository are placed in the Annual Reporting Database to provide the general public with access to school performance data.
NYSSIS is a key element of SIRS NYSED developed this system to assign a stable, unique student
identifier to every preschool and pre-kindergarten through grade 12 public school student in New York State Unique identifiers enhance student data reporting, improve data quality and ensure that students can be tracked longitudinally as they transfer between LEAs In the Level 2 Repository, each student record is uniquely identified with a 10-digit number assigned when the student first enters a State public school (including Charter schools), State-operated school, public agency, child care institution that operates a school or participating nonpublic school The Level 3 Repository contains an encrypted version of this identifier on each student record.
Data in the SIRS are accessed through nySTART, a web-based statewide reporting service nySTART provides LEAs and other personnel with a baseline group of reports and analyses about students as well as a series of reports that are used to verify and certify the completeness and accuracy of data in the Level 2
Repository Note that the “PD” data system, independently of nySTART, also provides a group of reports that are used to verify and certify the completeness and accuracy of special education data
“Templates” versus “Extract Specifications”
In brief, a “template” is a generic organizing structure - a conceptual grouping of technical specifications built around the unifying theme of a real-world construct (for example: the collective activities of an organizational procedure or cognitive process; the collective attributes of objects or entities.) Templates are designed to be flexible - to accommodate numerous possible ways of loading a set or subset of related data elements into a database or warehouse (in this case, to populate SIRS.)
An “extract specification” is a detailed set of guidelines that helps extract developers understand how to build their data collection software in such a way that - when data are extracted (to be loaded into another
database or warehouse) - their extracts meet both the load specifications of the templates as well as the current business rules/edits of the contracting organization (in this case, NYSED.)
What is a template?
For the purposes of this document, a “template” is a group of specifications (including formats) needed to
load a set of related data elements - e.g., the set/subset of demographic data elements - into SIRS Some key
characteristics of templates are:
They are produced by the same third-party vendor that produces and maintains the databases used by SIRS They were “generically” designed (for broad purposes across numerous possible applications), intended primarily to collect related sets of data elements (for example, demographics.) For the most part, they were not designed explicitly for or by NYS nor were they intended expressly for the SIRS data warehouse effort.
The full scope of elements that can be collected under a given template - e.g., all the testing-related
elements that the Assessment_Fact template allows - represents what the vendor believes to be all the possible data collection needs of its customers (not those of the SIRS alone.) Since the data collection requirements of NYS may comprise only a subset of data elements within a given template, some data
elements may not be used In some cases, a data element intended for one use by the templates’
vendor, may even be “appropriated” for a different use by the contracting entity (i.e., NYS; or the Level
1 Centers may have a local/regional use for an ‘unused” element not required by the State.)
The templates’ format specifications are defined by the vendor to facilitate loading a set/subset of data elements - e.g., elements in the Programs_Fact template - into an instance of the vendor’s database for data transformation and/or storage These specifications/rules define the allowable size and type of each data element, the sequence of elements, which are mandatory, and so forth.
Trang 9Guidelines for Extracts 2007-08 version 3.2
What is an extract specification?
For the purposes of this document, an “extract specification” equates to a series of transferal and/or
transformative procedures - directions on how to extract a given set (or, just as likely, subset) of data elements
For example, of the superset of data elements collected within the enrollment data set in an LEA’s student management system (SMS), most (but not necessarily all) elements may be required for reporting to SIRS
Specifications dictate how the extracted results must meet the format required to load the data into the SIRS
-i.e., will satisfy the template’s rules - and at the same time meet the business rules and edit checks explicitly required by NYS.
Some key characteristics of extract specifications:
The specific elements in a given data set to be collected in SIRS may change from year to year Elements required last year may not be required this year; new elements may be required this year that were not collected last year, and so on.
Business rules and edit checks for any given data element—for example, the “Diploma Type Code” element in the set of demographic elements - may change from year to year as Federal reporting requirements and/or SIRS data-collection requirements evolve This necessitates that extract
developers reassess and augment extracts from year to year.
It may be that not every data element within a given template is required for extraction For example,
not all assessment-related elements collected in templates at the local level are necessarily collected in SIRS In cases where template elements are not used at the level to which the extract is being loaded, the directions in the extract specification may dictate that the extract should output a null or a blank (or other determined value) for these particular elements
Sets of Elements Collected for 2007-2008
Demographics (“Student_Lite” template)
Demographic data elements describe the individual student and they are also used in the NYSSIS system For any given student within a given school district there will be one row stored in a SIRS per school year That row can be updated throughout the school year to reflect any changes in the attributes of the student For example, the Student_Lite record for a student who graduates will be updated to show the type of diploma received.
The Demographics Extract Specification provides directions for producing an extract in the Student_Lite
Template format It holds the demographic student data, including those elements used in the NYSSIS system Use this template to provide one set of data for each student for each school year.
While the Student_Lite template is the primary structure for demographic data, not all demographics are collected in the Student_Lite template Some are collected through specific fields in the Programs_Fact and other templates
School Enrollment (“School_Enroll” template)
School enrollment data elements define reportable enrollment actions (entries and exits) For any given student there will be at least one - and probably more - school enrollment records per school year All reportable students require a school entry enrollment record for each year Additional records are required when a student changes grade level and/or building during the same school year Data is used for district and school
accountability and cohort membership Calculations utilizing this data will be able to provide dropout and
graduation rates, school enrollment counts, special education snapshot data and special education compliance data as well as assessment participation rates.
There are two types of school enrollment transactions One type is an enrollment entry transaction This records the date a student enters a building or grade level and the school building of enrollment The second type
is an enrollment exit transaction, which records the date and reason a student leaves a school building or grade level A student cannot be enrolled in more than one building at a time However, for 2007-08 (and subsequent school years), whenever the Committee on Special Education (CSE) responsibility for students with disabilities is housed by a school district that is not accountable under NCLB for the student’s State assessment results, two separate enrollment records must be submitted on the same student The school district with CSE responsibility
Trang 10will submit a reason for beginning enrollment code 5905 (CSE Responsibility Only) and school district with accountability responsibility under NCLB will submit a reason for beginning enrollment code 0011 (Enrollment in Building or Grade) The district that submits a reason for beginning enrollment code 5905 is required to submit the special education information found under the Special Education Snapshot and the Special Education Events templates The school district that submits a reason for beginning enrollment code 0011 is required to submit State assessment information Both districts need to submit disability program service records
The School_Enroll Extract Specification provides directions for producing an extract in the School_Enroll Template format.
Programs Participation (“Programs_Fact” template)
Programs Participation data elements define students’ involvement in reportable program services
Programs_Fact is also transactional data, where each program service must be reported for each student for
each school year Programs are defined as attributes of a student that can change over time They have specific starting and ending points Examples of programs that follow this definition are Limited English Proficient (LEP) Eligibility, Type of Disability, Title 1 Status and Academic Intervention Services The extract should include all needed records; enter as many records as needed for each student For students with disabilities, school districts that create an enrollment record using a reason for beginning enrollment code of;
0011 - Enrollment in building or grade,
5544 - Transferred in under the NCLB Title I “School in Improvement Status” transfer option,
5654 - Enrollment in a AHSEP or HSEP program,
5905 - CSE responsibility only,
7000 - Transferred in under the NCLB Title I “Persistently Dangerous School” transfer option, or
7011 - Transferred in under the NCLB Title I “Victim of Serious Violent Incident” transfer option
are required to submit Programs Participation information
recommended that a separate file be used for each program type, as follows (from the Program Codes headings
in Data Dictionary Appendix 5 – Detailed Definitions of Program Services);
Limited English Proficient (LEP) Eligibility,
Assessment Scores (“Assessment_Fact” template)
Assessment_Fact (scores) data elements describe a student’s achievement on each reportable
assessment and includes the name of the student, the name of the assessment, and overall holds a record for each assessment for each student This records the name of the assessment, the overall score achieved on the assessment, and the language in which it was administered.
The Assessment_Fact Extract Specification provides directions for producing an extract in the
Assessment_Fact Template format.
Trang 11Guidelines for Extracts 2007-08 version 3.2
Assessment Responses (“Assessment_Resp” template)
Assessment_Resp data elements describes the student’s achievement for each question and shows a record of the response to a question asked in an assessment This records the name and date of the
assessment, the question number, the student’s response to a multiple-choice question, and the number of points earned for the multiple-choice, constructed response, or essay question.
The Assessment_Resp Extract Specification provides directions for producing an extract in the
Assessment_Resp Template format.
Special Education Enrollment Data (“Special_Ed_Snap” Template)
This template is new for the 2007-08 school year In previous years school districts reported these data in the PD-1/4 and PD-7 reports Some of the fields in the Special Education “Snapshot” template will contain the state of data as of December 3, 2007; some will reflect data as collected at the end of the school year The data collected with this template includes the following:
Type of special education service provided to preschool students with disabilities, service provider code or the coordinating service provider code if student receives services from two or more
providers This information will be collected two times, as of December 3 and at the end of the school year These data are reported by all school districts each year
Placement status of students with disabilities in approved private schools (residential or day), school district placement or court placement See specific directions for reporting these data in the SIRS Dictionary of Reporting Data Elements This is December 3 snapshot data These data are reported
by all school districts each year
The least restrictive environment setting in which preschool students with disabilities are enrolled This is December 3 snapshot data These data are reported by all school districts, child care
institutions with affiliated schools, State agencies and State-operated schools each year
The least restrictive environment setting in which school aged students with disabilities are provided special education services This is December 3 snapshot data These data are reported by all school districts, child care institutions with affiliated schools, State agencies and State-operated schools each year
Special Education End of Year Data (“SE_Event” Template)
This template is new for the 2007-08 school year In the previous year, school districts that were assigned
to report data on special education SPP Indicators 11 and 12 used the PD-11 and 12 to report these data Some
of the data in this template was previously collected in the PD-1/4 report and some is a new data reporting requirement for the 2007-08 school year The data collected with this template includes the following:
Dates for referral, parent consent to evaluate, CPSE meeting to discuss evaluation results for
preschool children who are new referrals to determine special education eligibility and outcome of the eligibility decision and if necessary, reason for exceeding State established timelines These data are reported by school districts in the year in which they are required to report on SPP Indicator 11 See the school year in which your district is scheduled to report these data at http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/ sedcar/sppschedule.html
Dates for referral, parent consent to evaluate, CSE meeting to discuss evaluation results for aged students who are new referrals to determine special education eligibility and outcome of the eligibility decision and if necessary, reason for exceeding State established timelines These data are reported by school districts in the year in which they are required to report on SPP Indicator 11 See the school year in which your district is scheduled to report these data at http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/ sedcar/sppschedule.html
school- Dates for referral, parent consent to evaluate, CPSE meeting to determine eligibility, IEP
implementation for preschool children who are new referrals for transitioning from IDEA, Part C (Early Intervention) to IDEA, Part B (preschool) and if necessary, reason for exceeding State established timelines or for not implementing child’s IEP by the child’s third birthday These data are reported by
Trang 12school districts in the year in which they are required to report on SPP Indicator 12 See the school year in which your district is scheduled to report these data at
http://www.vesid.nysed.gov/sedcar/sppschedule.html
Dates for referral, parent consent to evaluate, CSE meeting to discuss evaluation results, IEP
implementation for parentally placed school aged students in nonpublic schools who are new referrals
to determine eligibility for special education services and if necessary, reason for exceeding State established timelines These data are reported by all school districts each year
Miscellaneous Notes for 2007-08
What file format is recommended?
It is strongly recommended that extracts produce files in comma-separated variable (.csv) format While fixed-format is still currently accommodated, this is largely being deprecated in favor of the more extensible delimited format of csv.
What are the associated appendices?
Appendices are found in the Dictionary of Reporting Data Elements (“Data Dictionary”) Appendices contain code-translation tables for data elements that are extracted in code form from the source system These appendices are either required or recommended (and this distinction should be noted with use of each.) In the case of recommendations, Data Warehouse support teams should be notified of variations, i.e., if source systems use other codes than those noted in the Data Dictionary.
Who must be reported?
Preschool children;
o who have been referred to the CPSE for determination of eligibility
o who are receiving special education services for preschool children with disabilities
Students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 (including “ungraded”);
o that are enrolled in the district or charter school
o that are placed by district personnel in an out-of-district placement
o who are home schooled students with disabilities
o who are home schooled and who “walk-in” to take an assessment
o that are referred to the CSE for special education eligibility determination
o that are students with disabilities and who are parentally placed in nonpublic schools
This includes all students who are;
See the SIRS Policy Manual for additional information on the students who must be reported.
