Idaho System For Educational Excellence

Welcome

2

Timeline for Idaho

• In 2008, the Idaho Legislature appropriated $2.5 million

• In 2009, the state received a $6 million federal grant

• In 2010, the federal stimulus package passed. Idaho didn’t receive additional federal funds for longitudinal data, but did receive new requirements

3

Federal Requirements

• In accepting federal stimulus dollars, Idaho had to commit to implementing the statewide longitudinal data system by September 2011

• We were already heading down this path, but now are working on a quicker timeline to meet federal requirements

4

Successes So Far

• 129 out of 148 districts and public charter

schools have participated in trial uploads

• Example of Success:

New Plymouth School District

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the state gathering more data than it has in the past? – Yes, but only because there are new federal

requirements.

6

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Idaho requiring more than state and federal laws require? – No. We are only collecting what is required by

state and federal laws.

7

Frequently Asked Questions

• My district didn’t apply for the sub-grant. Do we still have to upload data? – Yes. All school districts and public charter

schools must follow the same requirements. We have been flexible with districts in awarding sub-grants past the deadline to better assist in the uploads. You can still apply for the sub-grant. E-mail jpopp@sde.idaho.gov.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can we still use IBEDS next year? – No. IBEDS will no longer exist. All districts

and charters must use the new data collection systems put in place.
