Business/Planning

Technical - Data Collection

  • Will you be able to send a copy of your program data with ProgramType, ProgramName, ProgramEducationOrganization?

  • Since you are collecting BeginDate and EndDate, is it fair to assume a student could be in the same program in a given school year with a different begin date but the previous ones being closed with an end date?

    • This is not the scenario in NE.

  • FundingSourceDescriptor - A basic question… How come the list doesn’t include the ‘State Funded’ value?

  • ServiceMembershipHours - Any reason why this is under ‘n/a’ category?

  • ServiceAttendanceHours - We heard you say that you are collecting this. But this is under the ‘n/a’ category.  Are you collecting this under ‘StudentProgramAssociationAttendanceEvent’?

  • Naming Convention - StudentEarlyLearningProgramAssociation vs StudentEarlyEducationProgramAssociation - Any thoughts for one vs the other?

  • Is StudentSchoolFoodServiceProgramAssociation not needed for you?

    • Will the Parent.Housholdincome be good enough?

  • MN Student Enrollment Data Mapping Matrix

    • David to send URL of current data mapping spreadsheet

      • Here is our GitHub site for documentation on our Ed-Fi data elements: https://github.com/mn-mde-edfi/MDE-EdFi-Documentation

      • Here is the file name of our complete Data Elements matrix for 2021-22: "2021-22 Data Mapping Matrix Ed-Fi 3.1.xlsx". Unfortunately the file size is 17MB so give it some time to load.

    • Sayee to create draft model and present at next SIG meeting

    • Opportunity for state to do the calculation in addition to collecting data

    • Danielle - VPK and SR+ are eligible

    • Issue - Districts can overwrite parent information - need parent unique id for each district to prevent overwrite

    • We have parent/guardian records in ELSA for scholarship recipients, but we do not identify unique parents
