FAQs, Details, and Points to Note
- WISEdata uses Education Organization ID numbers exclusively. Formerly used four-digit LEA (District) Code and four-digit School Codes are not used by WISEdata reporting although these codes ARE still used by other reports submitted to DPI (i.e., School Directory data). Your SIS vendor should provide a method of storing both WISEdata Education Organization ID numbers for Districts and Schools as well as LEA and School Codes.
- WISEdata Education Organization ID Numbers are unique within the state of Wisconsin across Public Districts, Public Schools, Charter Schools, Private Schools, etc...
- WISEdata Education Organization ID Numbers can be any length, and sometimes EdOrg ID numbers are four-digits long. Be careful not to confuse a four-digit EdOrg ID with a four-digit LEA (District) Code or a four-digit School Code and vice versa.
- Sometimes DPI may refer to education organization ID numbers as Agency Keys or Agency Numbers.
