Data Portability for IEP Students of Supporter with Military Connection - Moving with the Mission Project

  • Presented by: Chloe Sanducci

  • Project Background:

    • Initiated by the US Department of Education in August 2024 to support high-mobility students, particularly those with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs).

    • Students often wait an average of 4.25 months for services when their families are relocated to a different base.

    • Currently, IEP students need to bring a physical copy of their IEP report to their new school district.

  • Status:

    • A data schema has been created for review, incorporating elements from Ed-Fi, CEDS, and A4L.

    • Collaboration with Project Unicorn, led by Erin Mote and Chloe Sanducci, to push for education data interoperability.

    • Signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with seven EdTech companies and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) for pilot development.

  • Timeline: Ongoing efforts to build and implement the project with the help of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).

Adding Capacity in Ed-Fi for Recording Prior StudentUniqueId

  • Discussion Points:

    • Disability Alignment: The data schema is more aligned with disability rather than section 504, and the Data Standards Team is checking the mapping.

    • Data Standards: Concerns were raised about the use of character values instead of numeric codes, which is not in line with normal data standards.

    • Feedback and Coordination: Feedback will be provided to the team, and efforts will be coordinated to address these issues.

    • State and District Practices: Various states and districts shared their practices for tracking and merging student IDs, highlighting the importance of maintaining accurate records for data reconciliation.

Discipline Related Topics

  • EdOrgId instead of SchoolId in DisciplineIncident Entity:

    • There were mixed opinions on replacing SchoolId with EdOrgId. Some participants expressed concerns about the impact on reporting and the need for granularity at the school level.

  • Making StudentDisciplineIncidentBehaviorAssociation a required collection:

    • There was a general consensus on making this collection mandatory to ensure proper association of actions and behaviors. Participants emphasized the importance of enforcing vendors to send this data upstream.

  • Replace StudentSectionAssociation with Student and Section references in various attendance event entities:

    • The decision on this topic was postponed to the next meeting.
