Count Inclusion: 3rd Friday of September

3rd Friday of September Count Date Inclusion: WISEdata Calculated Field

WISEdata app icon

Count Date Inclusion denotes whether a student is enrolled and receiving services to be eligible for credit on the count date. 

Third Friday of September: For a student to be included in the Third Friday of September Count, the student must be enrolled in the school on the count date and the student must be assigned to a valid grade for his/her/their school. Effective Dates will be used to determine enrollment in the case of overlapping records. The student must also be between ages 3-21 as of the count date. The student must also have been marked as Present or Absent for Receiving Services. WISEdata logic will also review inclusion based on parentally-placed private (PPP) calculations, whether or not the school provides the primary educational services, and whether or not the student's enrollment is active. This element must NOT be sent for enrollment periods that do not include the count date. 

DPI recommends checking with your Vendor support to know where inclusion value for count dates- are located on your SIS tool.

FAQs, Details, and Points to Note

  1. Expelled Students with IEPs: Visit the Discipline: Info, Help and FAQ page, Expulsions section.
  2. Student Detail Search in WISEdata Portal: WISEdata displays the count inclusion flag and its determinants on the Student Detail Screen. Users will be able to see if the student's count inclusion for the count date is set to Yes, No, or Null (not set). The determining factors listed above in the calculations will also show there with a green checkmark if they satisfy the requirement for count inclusion and a red "no" symbol if they do not. This way it will be clear what data users should review and correct for a student to be included in the count date.
  3. Three-year-old Students with IEPs: For WISEdata, three-year-old students with IEPs (even if the IEP is only for speech and language services) should be counted. For details visit the Early Childhood, Uncommon WISEdata Situations webpage, Speech and Language Services section.
