Child Count (Federal Student Data Report) Date: October 1

In an effort to consolidate data collection systems and eliminate duplication of data collection efforts within local educational agencies (LEAs), data elements previously collected through the PI-2197 Federal Student Data application, commonly known as Child Count, have been fully integrated into the Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES).
