Data Integrity
12
•
PEIMS Coordinators, attendance clerks, data entry
clerks and SIR’s play an essential role in HISD’s efforts
to ensure that all data is timely, accurate and
properly documented.
•
In no case should paraprofessional personnel be
responsible for determining students coding
information for attendance, program placement or
special services.
Data Integrity
•
Security Access
–
You
must not
give your passwords to others.
–
You
must
always prevent unauthorized access
from your computer when you are away from
your desk.
–
You
must not
accept a password from others.
Security Access rules apply to ALL HISD employees.

PEIMS Data Verification
23
Campuses and Departments will be required to reconcile their
data at the close of each six weeks cycle:
•
At the end of each 6-weeks cycle, campuses will
be given a 10-day window to correct or enter any
data elements.
•
Campus PEIMS Coordinators will work with their
non-instructional team to ensure the
reconciliation process is complete.
•
Campus Principal /Designee will sign-off on
Campus Summary Report.
New for 2020-2021
PEIMS Data Verification
(Campus)
24
Campus Summary Reports
must be generated each 6-week
reporting period and reviewed by the Principal or designee for
reasonableness.
The Campus PEIMS Coordinator/ Principal or Designee
should do the following:
•
Scrutinize regular attendance totals and special program attendance
totals based on approximate membership,
•
Investigate all data totals that have exceptionally high value or a value
of zero, and
•
Compare current-year totals to prior year totals to detect
unreasonable differences.
New for 2020-2021
Six Weeks Data Verification Timelines
25
Federal and State Compliance will provide more information about the
verification process prior to the initial Verification Period.
New for 2020-2021
Membership Reconciliation
Reconciliation of Teacher’s Roster Information and Attendance
Accounting Records - Student Attendance Accounting Handbook 2.3.4
1.
Why is the Membership Reconciliation required?
Student
membership from the teacher’s roster is to be reconciled to the
attendance accounting records at the end of the first and fourth six-
week reporting periods. The reconciliation is to verify that all students
are reported on attendance records and that “no show” students have
been purged from the attendance accounting system.
2.
What are the key components of the reconciliation process?
District
personnel are to develop a form to be used at the end of the first and
fourth six-week reporting periods to show the total number of
students in membership in each teacher’s class during the official
attendance period (See Appendix ). The total number of students in
membership is to be reconciled to the total number of students listed
in attendance accounting records. The district PEIMS coordinator and
his or her supervisor must certify this document with their signatures.
3.
When should the reconciliation process occur?
The reconciliation
does not need to be conducted on the last day of the six-week
reporting period. However, it should be conducted no later than the
final week of the six-week period. The reconciliation should be for the
official attendance period (usually second period).

Class Roster State Performance Plan Indicator 14 The purpose of the SPPI-14 Collection is to obtain student and parent/contact information for the purpose of sending out the Post-School Outcomes Survey to a random sample of recipients. (SPPI-14) 8
District PEIMS Process Fatals - Student data will not go to PEIMS until fatal errors are corrected. Special Warnings - The editor indicates that data conditions warrant research and justification. In all probabilities, this is an error; however, some special warnings cannot be corrected (such as a 5-year-old in first grade). Warnings - Data conditions warrant research and justification that this an error. 9
Objectives of FSC and Campus Collaborative Ensure data quality and analysis of data record accountability by establishing guidelines for: Monitoring campus data input Overseeing data correction Verifying accuracy of data 10
Data Integrity PEIMS Coordinator s Training 11
Data Integrity PEIMS Coordinators, attendance clerks, data entry clerks and SIR s play an essential role in HISD s efforts to ensure that all data is timely, accurate and properly documented. In no case should paraprofessional personnel be responsible for determining students coding information for attendance, program placement or special services. 12
Data Integrity Security Access You must not give your passwords to others. You must always prevent unauthorized access from your computer when you are away from your desk. You must not accept a password from others. Security Access rules apply to ALL HISD employees. 13
Data Integrity Consequences for inaccurate records: Lowering of HISD s accountability record Lowering of a school s accountability rating Loss of funds to HISD which could impact jobs, salaries, and programs for students Students may be retained inappropriately Reprimands from the state 14
Campus Non-Instructional Data Team/Campus PEIMS Coordinator PEIMS Coordinator s Training 15
Campus Non-Instructional Data Team Every campus must have an identified Non-Instructional Data Team. This team should meet at least once a month to review campus data and be responsible for supporting the 6-week reconciliation report. CampusPEIMS Coordinator (Assistant Principal, Dean, or Instructional Coordinator) Campus Master Scheduler/Student Scheduler Professional Registrar (Secondary only) Student Information Representative (SIR) Attendance Clerk (All) Lead Discipline Data Entry (All) Campus Behavior Coordinator 16

Attendance and Membership Updates PEIMS Coordinator s Training 20
Attendance Updates Asynchronous Attendance - The required amount of instructional time is scheduled each day, and funding is generated when attendance is recorded daily at a locally selected snapshot time. Remote Asynchronous Instruction Instruction that does not require having the instructor and student engaged at the same time. No Optional Flexible School Day Attendance will be taken during Asynchronous Attendance. All campuses will follow the same guidelines during Asynchronous Attendance (i.e. On-Time Grad Academy) Campus Attendance Ambassador Team State Reporting and Attendance Procedures Manual 21
Attendance Updates By 10:00 a.m. Teachers will take attendance on the first day of school in PowerSchool Teacher. Students will be marked either RA (Remote Asynchronous Present) or Absent. Students are present RA when 1. Teams: A student attends asynchronous Teams lesson or, 2. HUB (LMS): A student engages on the HUB by a. Completing an activity/ assignment in HUB or b. This criterion is only used when updating the previous days absences: Viewing content in the HUB (logging in for X minutes but does not complete the assignment) or, 3. Two-Way Communication: A student engages in a conversation with a teacher of record or SPED resource/co-teacher (cannot be a TA). Between 10:01 a.m. 2:29 p.m. School Staff will call students marked absent for the current day. By 2:30 p.m. - Update ADA attendance for Students who engaged following Morning Attendance Deadline. - Update ADA attendance for Students who engaged following previous Afternoon Attendance Deadline. 6:00 p.m. - Automated call out reminder for all students who were marked absent in their homeroom period at Afternoon Attendance Deadline to complete assignments for attendance purposes. No Shows will not be posted until Friday, September 11, 2020. 22
New for 2020-2021 PEIMS Data Verification Campuses and Departments will be required to reconcile their data at the close of each six weeks cycle: At the end of each 6-weeks cycle, campuses will be given a 10-day window to correct or enter any data elements. Campus PEIMS Coordinators will work with their non-instructional team to ensure the reconciliation process is complete. Campus Principal /Designee will sign-off on Campus Summary Report. 23
New for 2020-2021 PEIMS Data Verification (Campus) Campus Summary Reports must be generated each 6-week reporting period and reviewed by the Principal or designee for reasonableness. The Campus PEIMS Coordinator/ Principal or Designee should do the following: Scrutinize regular attendance totals and special program attendance totals based on approximate membership, Investigate all data totals that have exceptionally high value or a value of zero, and Compare current-year totals to prior year totals to detect unreasonable differences. 24
New for 2020-2021 Six Weeks Data Verification Timelines Federal and State Compliance will provide more information about the verification process prior to the initial Verification Period. Cycle Cycle Date(s) Verification Period Campus Summary Report (CSR) CSR Signature Page Due to FSC 1 Sept. 8 Oct. 16 Oct. 19 Oct. 30 Nov. 2 Nov. 6 2 Oct. 19 Dec. 4 Dec. 7 Dec. 18 Jan. 4 Jan. 8 3 Dec. 7 Jan. 28 Jan. 29 Jan. 12 Jan. 13 Jan. 19 4 Feb. 1 Mar. 12 Mar. 22 Apr. 2 Apr. 5 Apr. 9 5 Mar. 22 Apr. 30 May 3 May 14 May 17 May 21 6 May 3 Jun. 11 Jun. 14 Jun. 25 Jun. 28 Jul. 2 25
New for 2020-2021 Membership Reconciliation Reconciliation of Teacher s Roster Information and Attendance Accounting Records - Student Attendance Accounting Handbook 2.3.4 1. Why is the Membership Reconciliation required? Student membership from the teacher s roster is to be reconciled to the attendance accounting records at the end of the first and fourth six- week reporting periods. The reconciliation is to verify that all students are reported on attendance records and that no show students have been purged from the attendance accounting system. Federal and State Compliance will provide campuses with more information about the reconciliation process later. 2. What are the key components of the reconciliation process? District personnel are to develop a form to be used at the end of the first and fourth six-week reporting periods to show the total number of students in membership in each teacher s class during the official attendance period (See Appendix ). The total number of students in membership is to be reconciled to the total number of students listed in attendance accounting records. The district PEIMS coordinator and his or her supervisor must certify this document with their signatures. 3. When should the reconciliation process occur? The reconciliation does not need to be conducted on the last day of the six-week reporting period. However, it should be conducted no later than the final week of the six-week period. The reconciliation should be for the official attendance period (usually second period). 26
New for 2020-2021 Data Verification Process for Core Collections (Departments) Federal and State Compliance will use the data verification process below for each collection and/or submission. Special Population Department Email reports with detailed explanations following submission. Send copy of FSC Acknowledgement Form. Address any concerns from department. File Acknowledgement in FSC office. Review reports and identify any anomalies. Email FSC with questions and concerns. Update data if needed. Sign Acknowledgement form and send to FSC.
