The annual State Education Department Reference Application (SEDREF) Summer Update (School Administrators Listing) was posted to the Information and Reporting Services Portal (IRSP) on the New York State Education Business Application Portal (NYSED Portal) on June 1st. The SEDREF Summer Update applies to all applicable entities (i.e., BOCES, public, charter, and non-public schools) except New York City district schools.

Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) will receive their annual SEDREF Summer Update via IRSP and the United States Postal Service (USPS).

Districts, Charter Schools, and Non-public Schools can download their listings from the IRSP for review and update.

Updates for the 2023-24 school year are due to the Department by July 7th.

This month's focus: Reviewing and updating Graduate and Dropout information.

Graduate and Dropout information is critical to correct end-of-year data reporting. How students are exited and reported to the data warehouse has an immense impact on district accountability.

 

We recommend reviewing the included closely related resources, Graduate Review and Dropout Review. It may make sense to review these after the final graduation information is put into your SMS and then sent up to Level 2.
