- There are new data elements that will need to be reported. Every district can start collecting and entering this information.
- Edupoint is currently working on a programming fix. We will update you when the fix in place. In the meantime, please focus on your 20/21 data.
State Reporting Update
- MDE will continue to host their monthly webinar series called the Data SIG. The next webinar is scheduled September 17th @ 1:30pm. These webinars will first focus on MDE’s transition from collecting student data via MARSS WES and the Student Support Data Collections (SSDC) to both the more detailed Ancestry Ethnicity Origin form titled Ethnic and Racial Demographic Designation Form (to be used in FY 2019-20) as well as the new data collection technology called Ed-Fi. Refer to the MARSS memo dated August 20, 2018, for the description of Ed-Fi. More information on Programs and Initiatives can be found at https://education.mn.gov/MDE/fam/count/, and Business and Finance at https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/count/. You can register for the Data SIG here.
