EDFacts – OMB Clearance
Washington, DC - February 2013 4
Key principle for EDFacts reporting◦ Where ESEA Flex has affected a particular data item, ED has made changes,
and where it has not, ED has kept the data ask the same (from 1/31 webinar)◦ SEAs should continue to report all data unless specifically instructed
otherwise
Reporting elements that have not changed◦ Requirement to report components of AYP◦ Assessment performance by subgroups defined in ESEA statute◦ School status determinations (permitted values within the data group HAVE
changed)◦ HQT and Title III AMAO data
Timeline for new elements required from Flex states◦ 3/31/2013: SY 11-12 data on ‘combined subgroups’◦ 3/31/2013: SY 11-12 data on Title I allocations to priority and focus schools◦ 9/30/2013: SY 12-13 data on interventions used in priority and focus schools

Conference Consolidation◦ No separate EDFacts Coordinators meeting in 2013◦ SLDS Best Practice Conference within MIS Conference
Technical Assistance Coordination◦ EDTAP (SLDS) and SEISS (EDFacts) resources both
providing assistance with CEDS◦ Regular conversations among ED program staff
Tool Consolidation◦ How can ED programs use CEDS online tools?◦ What’s the best use of CEDS online tools to help SEAs
and LEAs?
Consolidating EDFacts, CEDS and outreach on other initiatives
Washington, DC - February 2013 17
Goal: Use the online CEDS tools to clarify:◦ ED’s expectations for what would be used in
reporting specific data groups◦ The process individual SEAs are using to create data
groups from student-level systems◦ The data groups for which SEAs are predominantly
using aggregate collections from LEAs (rather than aggregating student level data)
Strategy: Use CEDS Align to map source systems to CEDS, and use CEDS Connect to publish program office expectations currently expressed in guidance
