This collection is used to submit projected student enrollment for the 2011-2012 school year. It does not impact accountability. Data are used for the creation of direct certification reports. The Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability (OEAA) will also be using the Early Roster Collection in the pre-identification of students for fall 2011 assessments. For more information about OEAA pre-identification process, please visit their Web site.
Please note that the 2011 Early Roster Collection schema uses the new School Demographics component in place of the Entity Demographics component. This change was implemented to reduce the number of data elements in this collection. The business rules for the School Demographics component are located on the 2010-2011 Collection Component Matrix page.
Benefits of using Early Roster for Pre-Identification of Students for Fall Assessments
There are several significant benefits to using Early Roster as your district's method of pre-identifying students for assessments:
- UICs are assigned and resolved early, avoiding UIC resolution tasks during the busy time period leading up to Tested Roster.
- Since many schools submit Early Roster already, it alleviates having to submit a separate data file to the OEAA Secure Site.
- Eventually, Early Roster is intended to be the sole method of pre-identifying students for assessment. Participating now is preparing for the future.
Direct Certification Implications For Public Schools:
Students reported via the Early Roster collection, along with the students reported as "continuing" in the End-of-Year (EOY) 2011 General Collection, will be used in the creation of the Direct Certification Report. To enhance system performance, the Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) recommends that public school users submit all newly enrolled students and those students who have a change in building assignment since the EOY General Collection through Early Roster.
Direct Certification Implications For Nonpublic Schools:
Nonpublic schools participating in the National School Lunch Program are required to submit their entire student enrollment, including new enrollees and existing students, in the Early Roster Collection.
The Early Roster Collection will remain open for nonpublic schools to continue submitting new enrollees through late spring 2012. This will be used for updating the direct certification reports which will be refreshed throughout the school year.
