NYSED Updates
1. Data Quality Discussion 2. Homeless Indicator
- Homeless indictor will be going away starting in 18‐19, and a
program service code will be used. If a student is assigned this PS code at any time on the school year, they will be considered as part of the homeless subgroup. 3. McKinney‐Vento
- NYSED was audited by the Federal Gov’t for MV. Some of the
findings indicate that districts must document the process of how the district identifies these students. NYSED is required to add a section to the SIRS manual and create business rules. NYSED will also create technical assistance documents and post it on the website. 4. PS code 8271 – “Working toward a CDOS Credential”
- The wording needs to be changed to “Working towards CDOS
Eligible Coursework” that may be used towards a stand‐alone credential.

5. Data Reporting for Military Children
- “…principal of the New York school shall accept any
corresponding alternative end of course local examination for such course(s), where the principal from the school in the sending state attests in writing that the student has achieved a score on such exam that meets the proficiency standards for the course assessed in the sending state…”
6. Immigrant Data Collection Changes
- “…Districts are instructed, effective immediately, to cease collecting and
reporting to NYSED data about students’ dates of entry into the United
- States. Prior school enrollment (including the length of time within the United
States school system) will be used in lieu of ‘date of entry’ to facilitate NYS’s immigrant student count under Title III.”
- “…Districts are instructed, effective immediately, to cease collecting and
reporting to NYSED data about students’ countries of origin…”
- What they are trying to determine is the about the amount of education the
student has received in the US. You can ask that question, to determine if the student has had 3 years of education in a US school.
- You will not get an error if your system still exports this information. It simply
will not load into Level 0, it will not error.
