Course Codes Project—A Path Toward Equitable Access

For the past year, Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) has been working on a state course code project under the direction of Commissioner Pruitt to ensure Kentucky is providing equitable opportunity and access to student experiences that impact student success.

The project resulted in an alignment of academic state course codes to Kentucky Academic Standards and an alignment to Kentucky’s new Accountability System, 703 KAR 5:270, which measures opportunity and access provided to students across Kentucky.

Outcomes:1. Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) are aligned to

courses. 2. Course codes reflect the alignment of standards

resulting in: New Course Codes

Discontinued Course Codes

Updated Course Code Descriptions

3. A searchable database for course codes and KAS is in development.

Robin McCoy

Course Codes Project—A Path Toward Equitable Access

On January 15, KDE will release updated Kentucky Academic State Course Code Lists for school year 2018-19. ● The lists contain all Kentucky state course

codes, names, and descriptions along with the eligible certifications to teach each course.

10Robin McCoy

11Robin McCoy

resources will be released:

● a comprehensive list of all changes,

● a list of deprecated (discontinued) courses and suggestions for replacement codes,

● course standards documents,

● guidance documents for state course code 909999 and our new dual credit placeholder state course code,

● updated data standards for course scheduling and dual credit (under revision),

● a list of courses that will be tracked for rich curricula under Opportunity and Access

● a list of courses that offer an End-of-Course exam,

● and a list of frequently asked questions.

Course Codes Project—A Path Toward Equitable AccessSome of the significant changes include:

• the alignment of Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) to academic state course codes,

• new general education dual credit state course codes (under revision),

• a new dual credit placeholder state course code,• the deprecation of all immersion state course codes,• a new state course code for students attending Gatton

Robin McCoy

Course Codes Project—A Path Toward Equitable Access

Continuation of the significant changes:

• an integrated pathway that facilitates the coverage of all high school required KAS for math,

• integrated and conceptual pathways that facilitate the coverage of all high school required KAS for science,

• the deprecation of all “other,” “special topics,” and “independent study courses,”

• and the deprecation of all elementary school “self-contained” state course codes.

Accountability: Transition ReadinessAcademic Readiness Indicator

28Robin McCoy

Transition Readiness

To be considered academic ready, a student must:● Score at or above the benchmark score as determined by the Council on

Postsecondary Education (CPE) on the college admissions examination; or ● Complete six or more hours of Kentucky Department of Education-approved dual

credit and receiving a course grade of B or higher in each course; or ● Complete two or more advanced placement (AP) courses and receiving a score of

three or higher on each AP assessment; or ● Receive a score of five or higher on two examinations for International

Baccalaureate courses; or ● Score at or above the benchmark on two or more Cambridge Advanced International

examinations; or● Complete a combination of academic readiness indicators listed above.

29

Regulation Reminder

Robin McCoy

**Students also may demonstrate academic readiness in quantitative reasoning or natural sciences and written or oral communication, or arts and humanities, or social and behavioral sciences learning outcomes.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
**Demonstrated academic readiness does not pertain to the course code project at this time.

Transition Readiness

To be considered career ready, a student must: ● Score at or above the benchmark on industry certifications as

approved by the Kentucky Workforce Innovation Board on an annual basis; or

● Score at or above the benchmark on the career and technical education end-of-program assessment, formally Kentucky Occupational Skill Standards Assessment (KOSSA) for articulated credit; or

● Complete six or more hours of Kentucky Department of Education-approved CTE dual credit, and receiving a grade of B or higher in each course; or

● Complete a Kentucky Department of Education-approved or labor cabinet-approved apprenticeship; or

● Complete a Kentucky Department of Education-approved alternate process to verify exceptional work experience.

30

Regulation Reminder

Robin McCoy

Tracking “Department-approved Dual Credit” (General Education)● Local school districts shall utilize released department

approved dual credit course codes (release date TBD) to demonstrate student enrollment in department approved dual credit coursework in the KY student information system.

● Local school districts shall record student enrollment in the KY student information system utilizing the appropriate course code by October 1 of fall term and March 1 of spring term.

● Course naming for department-approved dual credit courses must adhere to the naming practices outlined in the dual credit data standard (release date TBD) .

31Robin McCoy

Dual Credit Placeholder State Course Code The dual credit placeholder state course code 950001, should be used only as

a dual credit course placeholder. State course code 950001 should be used when a student is registering for a

dual credit course that occurs during the school day but the course has not been verified by the high school or postsecondary institution at the time of scheduling. The student may be taking courses online or attending courses on a college/university’s campus.

Once verification has taken place by the high school and the postsecondary institution partner, students should be withdrawn from the dual credit placeholder course and be placed in the official dual credit course utilizing the content specific state course code.

The start date of the content specific course should be the high school term start date. All schedule changes that involve the dual credit placeholder should be completed by October 1 for the fall semester and by March 1 for the spring semester.

What’s new for 2017-18? High school benchmark entry is no longer required All K-3 Tier 2 or 3 interventions that start after

January 1, 2018, must be entered into the tab Optional for January through June 2018,

schools may document “Daytime” in the Comments 1 box for all ESS Daytime Waiver students.

Optional pre-school Intervention tab use. Contact pre-school for details.

36Jarrod S. Slone

Reminder: All school personnel who enter records into the Intervention tab MUST be granted tool rights to the PLP Intervention Tab and should have access to the PLP Intervention Data report.

Required users for the Intervention tab

● Focus Schools (beyond third year)– All novice students Focus Schools become Comprehensive System of

Improvement (CSI) schools in 18-19

● All ESS – all students served by ESS ● All students served with Mathematics Achievement

Fund or Read to Achieve Grant● All K-3 students enrolled on or after January 1, 2018,

in Tier 2 and 3 interventions must have their interventions entered into the tab

37Jarrod S. Slone

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Certain schools and programs are required by legislation to input data into the Intervention tab. At the current time, those are: Focus Schools, all ESS students, those schools that are a part of the Mathematics Achievement Fund (MAF) and the Read to Achieve (RTA) grant. Your district might have additional requirements for entry into the tab.

How to enter a record into the Intervention tab

For more information on how to input student records into Infinite Campus, please download the Data Standard-Intervention.

For additional resources for the Intervention tab, visit the Infinite Campus Intervention Tab page on the KDE website.

38Jarrod S. Slone

Presenter
Presentation Notes
While we will not go into the detail on how to input a record on this webcast, we highly recommend you download the Intervention data standard and share it with your ESS and Intervention administrators and teachers in your district. You may also find resources for ESS on the ESS page and information on how to best utilize the Intervention tab on the Infinite Campus Intervention page on the KDE website. We have included a direct link to both pages on the slide.

Required information in Intervention tab for ESS and Intervention students

Required Fields(beginning and during the year):• Start date• Tier Status• Intervention Type• Intervention Content Area• Intervention Materials• Materials Code• Intervention Staff• Delivery Location• Delivery Method• Frequency• Duration

Required Fields(end of year or exit of intervention):• All above plus

• End date• Student Service

Results• Total Hours Served

39Jarrod S. Slone

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Districts and schools have asked for ways to simplify the process of data entry for teachers. While the data standard is the most comprehensive document outlining this process, this slide provides a “cheat sheet” of sorts on what fields are required entry. For record creation, all of the items in green on the slide should be completed. In order to close out the record at the time the child exits intervention or at the end of the school year, all of the fields in green and those in red are required to be completed and be an adequate impression of the service provided to the student. RTA and MAF records have additional requirements. Please contact the program coordinators for further assistance. RTA’s coordinator is Lori Shepherd, MAF’s coordinator is Pam Pickens and the CEIS program contact is Jarrod Slone.

40Jarrod S. Slone

Presenter
Presentation Notes
It’s very important that KSIS, ESS and RtI contacts in districts know how to pull data on their students. This slide shows the process for pulling these reports in Infinite Campus. Simply go to KY State Reporting on the left side in IC, then click KDE Reports and finally click PLP Intervention Data.

PLP Intervention Data Report Options

41Jarrod S. Slone

Presenter
Presentation Notes
After you have selected PLP Intervention Data under KDE reports, you will be taken to a page that looks like this. You will notice that on this page, you can find several different options for your data pull. For instance, if you are the ESS coordinator and just want to pull ESS data, then you would click on just ESS. We also recommend that, in order to find possible data errors, the start date range for the 17-18 school year be entered as 7/1/17 through 6/30/2018. Review the other options and then click “Generate Report”. After a few moments, this will generate a report for the level you selected in the drop down bar at the top for your district. If you are district personnel then we recommend pulling all schools and checking the validity of data. Remember that when your ESS coordinator submits their IC Data Confirmation at the end of the year, they are certifying on your behalf that you, as KSIS contact, have checked the validity of the data entered.

FYI KDE will pull intervention data on Oct. 30,

Jan. 30 and March 30 to conduct random reviews. Feedback will be sent to the KSIS contact and superintendent listed in Open House for each district.

All intervention data must be entered, end dated and finalized by June 30.

Most ESS data is due by June 30 as well. ESS Summer School data is due by Sep. 30. All ESS coordinators should double check data for quality issues.

Common Issues

All records MUST have an end date and service results by the end of the year. ● If the student exits the intervention earlier,

enter the closing information at that time. New records should not be created each

quarter for a continuing intervention. If multiple records are created for the same

intervention, a district user will be responsible for combining those records.

43Jarrod S. Slone

Common Issues

If a child changes tier levels in a subject area ● Original tier record should be end dated and

marked as a “2: Exited to Another Intervention”

● Create a new record for the new tierFor example, when exiting from a Tier 3 math

intervention to a Tier 2 math intervention

Common Issues with Student Service Results

Code “3: Continue in Intervention” is to be used at the end of the school year, not during the course of the year. This continues to be the most common error on the tab.

Do not use “5: Graduated-did not meet goals” for elementary or middle school

If using “6: Other” in the exit criteria, the service results must be described in the Student Service Results Other box

54Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This session is about the data – not about the laws – just a quick overview. Keep in mind that everything is subject to change. The Kentucky Board of Education will meet/met Dec. 5th and discussed potential changes that are not reflected. ESSA – new law signed by President Obama, December 2015 - Reauthorizes 50 year old Elementary and Secondary Education Act ESEA Replaces No Child Left Behind CSP – state specific plan that aligns to requirements of ESSA. Kentucky’s plan was developed in consultation with education and workforce shareholders throughout the state. Feedback was gathered through town hall meetings prior to submitting for federal approval. Current Status – expect federal feedback late November or early part of December.

Kentucky Accountability System Proposed Data Measures

“Kentucky’s new accountability system has been developed by a very inclusive process, with the input of thousands of Kentuckians. The proposed accountability system focuses on students – ensuring they are well-rounded, transition-ready, and prepared with knowledge, skills and dispositions to successfully pursue the pathway of their choice after graduating from high school. The system has several key goals:

• Promote higher levels of student learning and achievement

• Reduce achievement gaps and ensure equity

• Establish opportunity and access for students to receive a quality education

• Build a culture of high expectations and continuous improvement

• Communicate a clear and honest understanding of strengths and opportunities for improvement in schools and districts

The system uses multiple academic and school quality measures, not a single test or indicator. “

55

Regulations not final

Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Consolidated State Plan outlines the Proposed Accountability System referenced in 703 KAR 5:270 – regulations aren’t expected to be final until March but already working on data collections in order to be ready – much easier to tweak if something changes than start from scratch in the spring of 2018. Much of the available data will appear on the School Report Card in the fall of 2018. Expansion and changes to data collection go beyond what the district assessment coordinator (DAC) has historically monitored. At KDE its not all the responsibility of the Office of Assessment and Accountability as it has been in the past – each office at KDE has defined areas of responsibility including data quality oversight. Districts and schools will have to decide how best to do the same locally. To ensure quality of data, we recommend that schools and districts develop a plan that includes training, oversight, and validation responsibilities long before School Report Card and public reporting. Don’t assume that your DAC is single point of contact on everything accountability.

Kentucky Data DashboardLooking forward to School Report Card 2018

56

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This is a high level view of Kentucky’s ESSA accountability reporting model. The details that make up each of these scores will be drilled down from a dashboard similar to this in the annual School Report Card. Data quality is significant initiative and will require KDE and districts looking at data through new and existing reports prior to data becoming public. We will go through each of these accountability areas. Some of these aren’t new, we‘ll go through those quickly. I’m not the expert on accountability, but do want to share information with KSIS points of contact since so much of the data does come from the Infinite Campus system. I’ll review each of the areas, but focus primarily on new and changes to data collection.

Transition Readiness

Attainment of the necessary knowledge, skills and dispositions to successfully move to the next level of education, work or life

Measured:● Elementary (grade 5)● Middle School (grade 8)● High School (graduation)

57Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Transition ready is a new goal, but calculated at end of each traditional school-level – elementary (grade 5), middle (grade 8), and high school graduation.

Transition ReadinessElementary School and Middle School

58Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Assessment-based calculation – no new data. Is the student meeting benchmark expectations? Infinite Campus – benchmark report can be used to see # of students meeting/not-meeting benchmarks on individual assessments.

Transition ReadinessHigh School

High school diploma plus:● Academic Readiness● Career Readiness

English Learners (EL) are expected to demonstrate English language proficiency before leaving high school

59Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
In addition to high school diploma – students must meet one other type of readiness. Students identified as English Learner must also be English language proficient.

60Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Two additional measures include: Academic readiness is based on high school assessments –OR– demonstration of success in college-level work – includes dual credit, AP, IB and Cambridge. May be limited to specific dual credit courses. Career Readiness – must meet benchmarks on industry certifications identified as high demand --OR-- earn KOSSA for articulated credit. Career Readiness includes an additional measure – CTE dual credit; CTE program of study; apprenticeship or exceptional work experience. Military readiness was the third measure –but was removed at the Dec. 5th Kentucky School Board meeting after public comment. Examples of data questions currently being discussed. - dual credit hours not currently tracked. Grade must be entered same as awarded by college/university attending. -- IB & CAI – don’t currently get assessment data at state level – working to remedy this.

Opportunity and Access (O&A) Equitable availability to research-based

student experiences and school factors that impact student success

Measures will be organized in terms of providing a rich curriculum, providing equitable access, school quality and providing support for the whole child

Some measures will be required and some will be options that schools may choose

61Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Opportunity and Access measures go beyond assessments with focus on equitable access and student experiences to further equip students for success.

O&A –Rich Curriculum

62

Elementary & Middle School Revised Course Codes Tracking Course TimeMay require changes to the way school schedule.

High School Revised Course Codes Completed Career Pathway NEW Work Ethic Certificate

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Rich Curriculum is the first of the Opportunity and Access measures and will require tracking of course codes and course time. This measure does require action to ensure data quality. 2018-19 new and revised course codes must be used. Course codes will be released in January In addition to identified courses – will also be looking at time in courses (1) virtual and performing arts; (2) health and physical education (3) science (4) social studies (5) career exploration (middle school only) at both the elementary and middle schools levels. Time in a course will not be a factor of consideration at the high school level. In addition to virtual & performing arts and health and physical education, cultural studies and/or world language, career pathways and essential skills are included at the high school level.

O&A – Equitable Access

63

Elementary & Middle School Gifted and Talented comparison between demographic groups

High School Advanced Course Work comparisonbetween demographic groups

Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Equitable Access is the 2nd measure under Opportunity and Access. There is no new data collection, but this is a new way of looking at the gifted and talented and advanced coursework data. Compares students identified by subgroup to the proportion of that same subgroup to total student population. Elementary & Middle Schools comparison of gifted and talented population to total population by subgroup. Primary Talent Pool is not part of gifted and talented calculation. High School comparison is similar; but instead of gifted and talented, advanced coursework is considered. Dual credit may not include all possible courses. Focus on students earning college credit in certain subject areas.

O&A – School Quality

64

NEW – Chronically Absent calculation

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The third Opportunity and Access measure is a measurement of School Quality There are three pieces to this measure: Chronic Absenteeism is new – new QA report available in Campus. How many of you have looked at that report? Are your DACs reviewing or has someone else been identified? Behavior Events and Restraint & Seclusion are not new collections; this data is currently validated through the annual Safe Schools validation. Percentages and points are still being discussed and may not be exactly as included here.

O&A – Selected Measures (choose 2)

65

NEW – FTE %NEW – FTE %

NEW – Career Coach

NEW – FTE %

NEW – Specialization

Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The final measure included in the accountability calculation under Opportunity and Access districts get to choose. Counselors or mental health providers -- FTE not currently tracked Nurse or other health care provider – FTE not currently tracked Teachers credentialed in specialized areas – don’t currently track this level of specialization – outside LEAD. Career Coaches to total student population

O&A – Reported Measures

66

NEW – Public Reporting

Dede Conner

Presenter
Presentation Notes
These last Opportunity and Access measures are reported annually on the School Report Card, but are not part of the accountability calculation. These are referenced to as “reported only” measures. State funded preschool all star rating and percentage of kindergarten students served half-day vs full-day -- have both been tracked but not previously included in the school report card. These other measures are currently reported and not expected to change except for the comparison of behavior data to the same demographic group enrolled at the school.

Overview of SAAR Report

78Ronda Devine

Purpose

The Superintendent’s Annual Attendance Report (SAAR) provides year-end attendance information used to calculate the school district’s enrollment, membership, average daily membership (ADM), percent of attendance, home and hospital ADA and adjusted average daily attendance (AADA).

79Ronda Devine

Due Date

The SAAR is due to KDE by June 30● It is strongly encouraged that districts submit

and verify their reports as soon as possible after the last student day of the school year.

Presentation Notes
You can find the SAAR page on the KDE Website. Type in “SAAR” in the search engine at the top right of the page and it will pull up information in regards to SAAR.

Focus AreaThe SAAR includes the following information for the entire school year’s aggregate days attendances and absences:

● Race and Gender count

● Adjustments for less than full-time attendance (Partial Day)

● Nonresident/Non-contract

● Overage and Underage

● Virtual/Performance Based Proficient

● Eligible suspensions and eligible expulsions

● Low attendance days

82Ronda Devine

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Up to 10 (ten) low attendance days due to weather Up to 10 (ten) days, KDE Approved Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) Five (5) lowest attendance days. All information is reported by school, grade level, and by transportation code

SAAR Adjustments

83Ronda Devine

Non-Traditional Instruction Days (NTI)

Record N = Non-Traditional Instruction Days (NTI) can be used on a day when school facilities are closed due to a weather or health/safety related issue. A Non-Traditional yearly plan must be approved by KDE, prior to the new school year. NTI days are considered a school day with instruction.

Mark the event NTI.

No transportation iscalculated for N days.

84Ronda Devine

Presenter
Presentation Notes
When a district has an NTI Day, be sure and mark the day as NTI and not Teacher Equivalency until approval by KDE. Mark it NTI from the start. If the Office of Innovation denies any of a district’s NTI days, those days will need to be changed to a different appropriate day code.

N Days

Ronda Devine

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The SAAR Report used to subtract NTI Days out of Record 7 and then added in last year’s ADA. This year, the report looks different. Instead of coming in on Record 7 and then taken out on Record N, they show as zero and last year’s AADA will be used for each NTI Day when SEEK is calculated at KDE. On the SAAR Report, zeroes will show on Record N with the NTI Days listed at the bottom of the report.

Adjusted AADA - Kindergarten

Adjusted Average Daily Attendance ● The state of Kentucky provides funding for 50% (half) of

kindergarten ADA, even if a school district chooses full day of kindergarten. This funding adjustment is made after submission of the SAAR to KDE.

Kindergarten Retention● If a student is retained in kindergarten with a grade

level of 00 for the first year and 00 for the second year, grade 00 will be adjusted for the second year also. (= ½ SEEK ADA)

Record 9 -Non-Contract/Overage/Underage

Underage There are two categories for Underage students: Grade 00 students are considered “Underage” for

the entire year if their 5th birthday occurs after August 1st of the reporting year.

Grade 01 students are considered “Underage” for the entire year if their 6th birthday occurs after August 1st of the reporting year.

89Ronda Devine

Presenter
Presentation Notes
An underage student will not receive funding for the entire year unless they qualify for a waiver and the Waiver checkbox is marked on the Enrollment tab under State Reporting Fields. The Overage/Underage Report can be used to verify that students are correctly marked for the waiver.

Calculation of SAAR AADA

Base Aggregate Days Present (R7) + Adjustment Aggregate Days Present (R7) + (Last Year’s SAAR AADA * (Sum of Weather Days, NTI days) – Low Attendance Weather (RW), NTI Days, Aggregate Low Attendance Days Present (RL), Aggregate Days Present (R9)) divided by Number of Days Taught minus 5

District Daily Attendance ReportPrevious Year AADA = 1,148.50

After the five (5) lowest attendance days are deducted, a district may request an adjustment for up to ten (10) additional days when district attendance was low due to weather-related conditions if all schools were in session.

If the district’s request is approved, the aggregate attendance for each day is deducted and replaced with prior year ADA, prior to calculating the district’s ADA.

Districts must keep documentation in the central office supporting the weather-related conditions that impacted attendance.

98Ronda Devine

Record 7 Error

No matching Record 5 (Membership for this Record 7 attendance/absence

● Students were enrolled in the grade level but all enrollments were end dated before the end of the year

110Ronda Devine

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The error may be caused due to a student/students were enrolled part of the year, but not there at the end of the year. This could be a student/students that went to a day treatment or alternative school then weren’t there at the end of the year. However, it would be an error if an incorrect end date caused all students to be accidentally end dated prior to the end of the year.

Record 7 Error

Days taught entered without attendance ● A Record 7 error message may be a warning. If this error

message appears and all students in the grade for the error are in Virtual/Performance Based Classes, the gap in their schedule will cause this to appear

111Ronda Devine

Record 7 Error

No matching record 2 (enrollment) for this Record 7 (attendance/absence)● This may be caused by a no show enrollment. It could be that

the start status is incorrect or that the no show does not have the proper end date and/or the checkbox is not checked

112Ronda Devine

Record 7 Error

Error was caused by an EC student in Grade 14 ● EC student came to school, finished classes before the end of the year, then

left, aging out within the time frame

Interim Alternative Educational Setting (IAES)

Amy Patterson, Systems Consultant/ITOffice of Teaching and Learning

Division of Learning Services

2017-18 Mid-Year Training

Interim Alternative Educational Setting (IAES)

IAES - An appropriate setting determined by the child’s ARC (IEP team) in which the child is placed for no more than 45 school days.

This setting enables the child to:

● continue receiving educational services

● participate in the general education curriculum (although in another setting)

● progress toward meeting the goals set out in the IEP

125Amy Patterson

Interim Alternative Educational Setting (IAES)

For special education students only

Temporary setting – 45 days or less

For students removed from school by school personnel in an emergency involving one or more:

● drugs

● weapons

● serious bodily injury

IAES can take 2 forms:

● Unilateral Removals by School Personnel

● Removals by Hearing Officer

126Amy Patterson

IAES – Unilateral Removal by School Personnel

School personnel (not the ARC) order the removal of students with disabilities (IDEA) from their current educational placement to an appropriate interim alternative educational setting for not more than 45 school days.

The ARC is responsible for determining the interim alternative educational setting.

Unilateral removals do not include decisions by the IEP team to change a student’s placement.

127Amy Patterson

IAES – Removals by Hearing Officer

Impartial hearing officer orders the removal of children with disabilities (IDEA) from their current educational placement to an appropriate alternative educational setting for not more than 45 school days based on the hearing officer’s determination that maintaining the child’s current placement is substantially likely to result in injury to the child or others.

The ARC is responsible for determining the interim alternative educational setting.

128Amy Patterson

State Resolutions Any local resolution types meeting the definition of the state resolutions

outlined below MUST have a State Resolution Code (Mapping) selection for reporting purposes.

● SSP1: Expelled with Services● SSP2: Expelled without Services ● SSP3: Out of School Suspension ● SSP5: Corporal Punishment● SSP7: Restraint – reference KDE’s Use of Physical Restraint and

Seclusion website● SSP8: Seclusion - reference KDE’s Use of Physical Restraint and

Seclusion website● INSR: In-School Removal ● IAES - Unilateral Removal by School Personnel-SPED use only ● IAES - Removal by Hearing Officer-SPED use only

Safe Schools Reporting will include all student behavior events with resolutions that are mapped to any state resolution code listed above.

129Amy Patterson

Ensure district database contains a local resolution type mapped to each IAES resolution for use in the schools.

There should be two local resolutions for IAES:● Unilateral Removal by School Personnel - SPED only● Removal by Hearing Officer – SPED only

9TH Grade Cohort Data on Graduation Tab

153

It is important to have the date first entered the 9th grade populated for students who were freshmen in 2013-2014 through students entering grade 12 for the 2017-2018 school year. If a student enrolls from nonpublic or out of state with no prior Kentucky public school enrollment in grade 9, please enter the date they would have been a first time 9th grader The cohort year data will be used for calculation of the 2018 4-Year and 2017 5-Year Cohort graduation rate.

● Date First Entered the 9th Grade: Enter the date the student first enrolled in 9th grade, regardless of location or if repeating 9th grade. If student repeats 9th grade, the initial date should not change. If the student skips 9th grade, this would be set to the first day the student is enrolled in 10th grade.

● NGA Cohort End Year: This field will be auto-populated based upon the date entered into the Date First Entered the 9th Grade. This field is part of the IC core product and is not required or used by Kentucky.

● NCLB Cohort End Year: This field will be auto-populated based upon the date entered into the Date First Entered the 9th Grade. This field is used in the calculation of the Adjusted Graduation Cohort Rate.

Remind enrollment clerks that this should be entered for any nonpublic or out of state enrollments with no prior grade 9 enrollment in a Kentucky public school.

Dropouts, Alternative HS Diploma and GED recipients- Not on Time

157

W12- A pupil under the jurisdiction of the court

W23- A pupil withdrawn for a second or subsequent time who initially withdrew as a W24 or W25 during the current school year

W24- A pupil who has moved out of this public school district for whom enrollment elsewhere has not been substantiated

W25- A pupil who is at least 18 years of age and has dropped out of public school

W26-A pupil who has withdrawn from school after completing a secondary GED Option program and receiving a GED certificate

W27-A student who has withdrawn from school and subsequently received a GED

W28- A student who has reached the maximum age for education services without receiving diploma or alternative high school diploma

CO1 or C01- A pupil who completes the school year in the school of the most current enrollment. No subsequent enrollment without a graduation end status (G01-G04) is a dropout.

Verified Transfers - Removed from Cohort and Non Participation = ‘VT’ W07-A pupil withdrawn due to those communicable medical conditions that pose a threat in school environments

listed in 902 KAR 2:020, Section 1(1), accompanied by a doctor's statement certifying the condition or any other health-related condition for which the student is too ill to participate in regular school attendance or local homebound instructional services or if the student has obtained a doctor's statement certifying the condition.

W08- A pupil withdrawn due to death.

W20- A pupil transferred to a home school. The re-entry code to use with W20 shall be R20.

W21- A pupil transferred to a nonpublic school (excluding home school).

● Note: If districts determine that the Challenge Academies, with locations in Harlan County (Appalachian) and Hardin County (Bluegrass -prior to 2018 only) meets the educational needs of compulsory aged students AND if the parent/guardian desires to withdraw the student to attend an Academy, districts may use the “W21” withdrawal code (for students aged 16-17) in Infinite Campus to withdraw students to attend either Academy.

● For 2018 only, Bluegrass is accountable under Eminence Independent. Withdrawal using W22 to Bluegrass (156025) an A5 school.

W22*- A pupil who has transferred to another public school district and for whom a request for student records has been received or enrollment has been substantiated or a pupil who is known to have moved out of the United States.

*Note: A W22 is not a verified transfer if there is no immediate enrollment into a Kentucky public school beginning with the 2014-15 school. Beginning with the 2014-15 school year, a W29 must be used to indicate an enrollment in another state.

W29- A pupil who has transferred to an out of state school for whom a request for student records has been received or enrollment has been substantiated.
