Ever wish there were a magic formula for state reporting? Together with our Ed-Fi and SIF experts, we’ve cracked the code to snag-free submissions. Read on for a breakdown of that state reporting formula embedded with time-saving tips from our data-savvy Head of Training, Jake Van Scoyoc.
When you establish the connection with your state’s data exchange system, be it Ed-Fi or SIF (Schools Interoperability Framework), you ensure a seamless flow of school and student data from jmc to the state — and funding into your district.
About 90% of your school’s course and student data is shared with the Department of Education as part of the state reporting process, making it crucial for every staff member to properly enter info into jmc, from health staff recording immunizations to office pros navigating enrollment procedures.
Successful state reporting — and access to state subsidies — also hinges on your staff’s ability to collect and enter data tied to special programs like Career and Technical Education (CTE) in the correct place and format in jmc. Your team can use the Programs/ProgramHist tab on the View Student Data page in jmc Office to manage program-specific records for all students.
Throughout the year your school is required to submit accurate and timely data to the state in order to keep funding locked in. A key part of this process is identifying and resolving data quality issues, also known as ‘data errors’ that could disrupt this flow of info. Your team can access tools via jmc Office to run error reports and resolve issues before submission deadlines.
Now that you know jmc’s formula for smooth state reporting, level-up your learnings by joining us at Summer Conference for data-related discussions, including a roundup of the latest regulatory guidelines presented by reps from the Department of Education.
