As part of an internal review of data submitted to the Level 2 Data Warehouse, NYSED has identified data quality issues statewide relating to Day Calendar and Student Daily Attendance templates. NYSED has highlighted the SIRS-370, SIRS-371, SIRS-375, and SIRS-107 reports to be reviewed as part of this process, with particular attention to be paid to any records showing as having 'missing' attendance.

NYSED will be reopening the data warehouse to accept resubmissions of 2022-2023 data for these templates up until noon on Friday, September 15th. Any district wishing to review and resubmit data for these templates should contact datareadiness to have these templates loaded manually into Level 0. Please note, because this option is available for a single week, no review of the submitted data in L2RPT is possible.

The MORIC Public Data Dashboard has been updated to include data from the 2021-22 Student and Educator report, available on data.nysed.gov.

Specifically, data on student attendance and suspensions, school/district average class size, staff counts, and teacher attendance and turnover have been added.

The Office of State Assessment has announced its Fall CBT Training Sessions, including dates when they will be in our region (October 5, 2023). Please see the flyer to the right for more information and to register on MyLearningPlan.

Be advised that MORIC will be upgrading the Oracle (Level 1 Cognos) environment on Saturday, September 16 through Sunday, September 17th.

During the maintenance window, Oracle environments will be offline and local Cognos reporting will be unavailable.

Level 2 (L2RPT) Cognos reporting will not be impacted.

As a reminder, 3-8 and Regents assessments from the 2022-2023 school year REMAIN UNDER EMBARGO. These results cannot be shared in a public setting, such as a Board of Education Meeting. They can be shared in closed or executive settings, or in a school building setting where they are being used for instructional purposes.

Staff Evaluation reporting is required as part of SIRS reporting this year for all districts and BOCES. As this reporting has not been required in several years, SED has provided a list (click the picture to the left) noting which evaluation plan each district and BOCES in the region is utilizing.

If your plan has not been amended since December 31, 2019, a portion of your staff may need to report Transition scores and ratings. All other districts and BOCES would report Original scores and ratings.

If you are unsure what you should be reporting, please refer to your APPR plan which is posted publicly here: Educator Evaluation Plans.

This Month's Focus:

Ensuring your district's key staff are registered with NYSED.

SEDDAS enables staff to view reports, certification forms. and other key resources from NYSED. It is also where L2RPT report access is managed.

SEDREF houses the list of contacts that NYSED uses to reach out to your district.

Please review the Monthly Focus document, included to the left, and contact us if you have any questions.
