WISEdata Portal: CTE Participant Calculations for 24-25 School Year Onwards

CTE Calculations have been adjusted for the 2024-25 school year and onwards to provide more accurate required data collection. As such, “Homeschooled” and “Private Students” will be excluded from CTE Participant calculations.

The exact calculations are as follows:
  • This calculation looks for Grade level of students between 9-12
  • Has at least one /studentSectionAssociation (sSA) resource for the CTE course. That means the student is sitting in at least one CTE course offered by the LEA.
    • This makes sure that a student being marked as a CTE participant is actually enrolled in a CTE course.
  • On /studentSectionAssociation attempt status on /studentsectionAssociation is Sufficient
    • This means that the student is not just enrolled in, but also making sufficient progress in the course to still be considered a CTE participant.
  • On /grade resource performance-based conversion type is PASS
  • Exclude Home Schooled and Private Students (check for the following Residency Status: R-HOME, NR – HOME, R-PRIVATE)

WISEdata Portal: Courses Export, Definitions Edited

Some of the definitions on the Courses Export were written to sound more like reporting guidance, rather than defining the header term of each column in the export. As such, definitions for the following term will be edited:

  • Roster Code
  • Course Title
  • Course Description
  • Rigor Level
  • CTE Cluster
  • World Language
  • Arts Category
  • SCED Code
  • Course Status

WISEdata Portal: Roster Export, Download Error Resolved

When trying to download the Roster Export, some LEAs were receiving an error message, “An error occurred while processing your request.” This issue has been repaired, and the error message is resolved.

WISEid and WISEstaff

Latest Update: 1/25/2024

WISEid and WISEstaff Release Notes

WISEstaff:

WISEstaff: Create a Download of Each LEA's Preliminary Snapshot Data

We created  a download of each LEA's preliminary snapshot data. This WISEstaff screen where this file is located has been renamed the “Download Staff Files” (formerly called the “Copy Staff Files” page).  We also added a new section at the bottom of this screen, called “Snapshot Data”.  This section contains downloadable files  for Contracts and Assignments (current as of the snapshot date) which are used for the preliminary and final audits.  There are still a few bugs to work out in these download files, however. Currently in testing we still found some Contracts appearing as duplicate rows for the same person. We have a plan in place to fix this in the near future.

WISEstaff: Update Checklist Logic for Audit Reports Tasks

We changed the logic for the Staff Collection Checklist (Step 3a and 4a) using a new audit report system to show if/when the preliminary and final audit reports are ready.

WISEstaff: Updated Title of Assignment Count Report to Match the Report Type

We fixed the title on the Assignment Count Report, as it had been displaying incorrectly when drilling in from the Data Quality Dashboard.

WISEstaff: Validate Staff Data Screen - Refresh Fixed

We improved the display of our system status messaging when clicking the "Refresh Validation" button. We fixed an issue where the Validate Staff Page would temporarily post incorrect results while it was still running.  We also added a "wait indicator" while the validations are running, and are delaying the results from displaying until the job is done.

 

WISEstaff: Change Agency Screen - Performance Improvement

For users with multiple agencies, the Change Agency page was quite slow to load sometimes. We have improved the performance so that it loads much faster now.

WISEstaff: Miscellaneous Messaging Repairs

We fixed some miscellaneous typos, including incomplete directions and out of date directions.

WISEstaff: Errors 5876 and 5877

We updated the validation KBAs for 5876 and 5877 for assignment 53-0050. It now reads more clearly, better explaining how to resolve the error when there are invalid grade levels uploaded.

WISEstaff: Errors 4611 and 4610

We added better directions to resolve incorrect grade levels for validation 4611 for assignment 53-0800 and 4610 for 53-0808. 

  • 4611 is now “53-0800 cannot be used for grade levels PK or K4. Assignment code 53-0808 Early Childhood Special Education is valid for PK or K4”. 
  • 4610 is now “53-0808 can only be used for grade levels PK and K4 so the assignment is not allowed for this school. Please either change the assignment (53-0800 may apply) or change the school to one that has PK or K4.”

WISEid: Fix Person Upload

We fixed a few errors that occasionally occur when the same Local Person ID is in the Person Upload more than one time (i.e., the Person Local Row Key Unique Constraint Error).

On WISEadmin Portal, when LEAs went to export Data Errata letters as a .csv file for the 2021-22 school year, an error would appear on the screen, and the LEA name would not appear. The bug has been fixed, and the application is now displaying and functioning properly.

KBAs for Validations (Errors and Warnings)

Error 7471: Logic Updated

The logic for Error 7471 has been modified so that students enrolled in LEAs providing Free/Reduced (F/R) lunch to all students, yet who are not economically disadvantaged, do not encounter this error.

To do so, the error will now use DPI Econ Status as the base calculation instead of Food Service Program Descriptor on the student School Food Service Program Association (/sSFSPA).
