Chapter 11: Verifying Data in the <strong>SIRS</strong><br />

NYCDOE<br />

2. The chief school officer must instruct the data coordinator to review the individual<br />

student data and summary counts on the reports with designated staff. All identified<br />

errors must be corrected in the district or school source data. The source may be<br />

the student management system or it may be the Level 0 system offered by the<br />

district’s RIC/Big 5. The data coordinator must notify the RIC/Big 5 when the<br />

changes are complete and follow its directions for submitting these corrected data.<br />

3. The chief school officer must submit the data corrections to the RIC/Big 5 to be<br />

loaded into the Level 1 repository. The RIC/Big 5 will move the data from Level 1 to<br />

Level 2. With the next data refresh, the corrected data will be reflected in a revised<br />

report on nySTART. Districts, charter schools, and Article 81 schools should contact<br />

the RIC/Big 5 to determine when the corrected data will be loaded. Reports should<br />

be carefully reviewed to ensure that all necessary changes have been made.<br />

4. The data coordinator should notify the chief school officer when he or she has<br />

verified that the data in the reports are correct.<br />

5. The chief school officer must authorize the transfer of data to the Level 2 Repository<br />

by signing the <strong>State</strong>ment of Certification and faxing it to the RIC/Big 5.<br />

When the NYCDOE receives the e-mail notification indicating that the reports are ready<br />

to be reviewed, the following steps are taken:<br />

1. The <strong>State</strong> and Federal Evaluation Team notify SSO leadership, Network Leaders,<br />

SAFs, Data Management staff, and school principals via the Principals’ Weekly<br />

newsletter, conference calls, and/ or e-mail that the verification reports are ready to<br />

be viewed. Verification reports are also available via ATS (REMS and/ or RHSV<br />

functions).<br />

2. A school’s designee (e.g., Data Specialist, Pupil Secretary, Assistant Principal)<br />

reviews the verification report. If the school’s data are accurate, the designee<br />

certifies the accuracy of data by completing an online form. If the designee identifies<br />

inaccuracies in data within source systems (i.e., ATS and CAP) or the verification<br />

reports, the school follows the procedures for requesting changes to the data. The<br />

procedures are provided in the Principals’ Weekly and are available on the<br />

Principals’ Portal and the Accountability DOE intranet page. Then, the designee<br />

completes the online form to certify that changes to data have been requested.<br />

3. Requests to change inaccurate data in the source systems are approved or rejected<br />

by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who evaluate supporting evidence for these<br />

requests.<br />

4. Staff from the Office of Accountability, Integrated Service Centers (ISCs), ATS, and<br />

CAP implement approved change requests in central data systems. Corrections for<br />

enrollment, demographics, and LEP indicators are made in the ATS system;<br />
