Data Reporting Timeline 9/29/2020

 

School Report Card – Public release schedule 

The School Report Card (SRC) public release date is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14. Districts will have a final opportunity to preview their data beginning Oct. 9. The information will be released to the media under embargo on Oct. 12.  

Due to the federal assessment and accountability waiver, data is limited for the 2020 data release. In addition to the data currently available for review, data also will include ACCESS, Alternate ACCESS, Transition to Adult Life, and Graduation Rates (4-year, 5-year, and 4- and 5-year average) in the Oct. 9 preview. This data has been previously reviewed in SDRR or through Infinite Campus reporting. 

New trend charts are available in the SRC for 2019-2020 reporting. These can be seen by selecting Preview Dashboard on the approval dashboard. The Overview domain includes:

• Students>Enrollment> Membership>Trends;
• Students>Student Groups>Economically Disadvantaged> Trends;
• Students>Student Groups>English Learners> Trends; and
• Students>Student Groups>Students with Disabilities (IEP)> Trends. 

Academic Performance (Kindergarten Screen) and Transition to Adult Life (Graduate Rates) also will include trend charts when that data is available for district review Oct. 9. Other new charts that will be available for review at that time include long-term goals for Proficiency, Graduation Rate and English Language Proficiency.  

Thanks to everyone who assisted with School Report Card collection and review. The review period officially closed on Sept. 25; however, districts can continue to access the SRC secure site through at least Oct. 2 if last minute changes are needed to collection items for the School Profile Report or if additional review time is needed.  

BrightBytes continues to respond to flagged items and/or escalate to KDE for review. Flagged items should be resolved prior to district approval. KDE contacts are listed in the QA worksheet and can be contacted directly if additional assistance is needed. Please remember that changes made in Infinite Campus or another system locally must be refreshed by KDE before the data will appear in the School Report Card. Contact the appropriate KDE contact to advise if a refresh is needed.   

In accordance with KRS 158.6453, the School Profile Report should be available in district board offices by Oct. 1. To meet this requirement, the download tab at the school level should be used to verify collection data and review and print the School Profile Report. The same report, without signatures, will be available at the bottom of each school’s SRC landing page when the SRC is released publicly.  

The download option at the district level provides a way to verify school-level approvals and see collection data entered by school. KDE uses a similar report to verify district-level approvals and follow-up as needed.   

Details on the timeline, prior communications and resources are available on the SRC Resource page.
