NYSED recommends that districts, charter schools, and Article 81 schools download<br />

the reports and print or save them in the event that the reports need to be referenced in<br />

the future, as these reports can only be accessed for a limited time using nySTART.<br />

For each Verification Report, a Report Guide is provided. This guide explains what is<br />

contained in the report and how to make corrections to the data if they are found to be<br />

erroneous. If data errors are found in the Verification Reports, districts, charter schools, and<br />

Article 81 schools must correct the data in their source systems and transfer the corrected data<br />

to the Level 1 Repository. Generally, data from Level 1 are uploaded to the Level 2 Repository<br />

once a week. Each time the data are uploaded to Level 2, a revised Verification Report is<br />

made available on nySTART.<br />

BEDS Day Enrollment as of October 6, 2010 Verification Report<br />

The BEDS Day Enrollment as of October 6, 2010 Verification Report lists students<br />

whose <strong>SIRS</strong> records show that they were enrolled in a public school in the district or placed by<br />

a district official in an out-of-district placement. Districts are expected to have repository<br />

records for all grades, pre-kindergarten to grade <strong>12</strong> and ungraded. Students are included in<br />

the report if their repository records showed that the district was their district of reporting<br />

responsibility on October 6, 2010.<br />

To verify the data, compare the counts of students by school, grade, race/ethnicity, and<br />

gender in the BEDS Day Enrollment as of October 6, 2010 Verification Report to the<br />

enrollment counts reported in fall 2010 through BEDS Online (see<br />

http://www.p<strong>12</strong>.nysed.gov/irs/beds/). Use the BEDS Online report submission as a point of<br />

reference, but investigate any discrepancies between those counts and repository counts by<br />

looking at the list of students in the applicable student-level report. Repository records should<br />

reflect accurate BEDS Day enrollment. If the BEDS Day Enrollment as of October 6, 2010<br />

Verification Report reveals errors in the BEDS Online submission, BEDS Online enrollment<br />
