Alabama experienced 487 appeals during year one of No Child Left Behind. Last year the Alabama Department of Education in partnership with Data Recognition Corporation implemented a secured website that provided drill-down on every calculation from participation rates to safe-harbor allowing school administrators to review formulas and calculations down to the detail student data. Additionally, local administrators were able to edit demographic information and provide match-back verification between demographic and assessment records prior to the Adequate Yearly Progress processing. As a result, Alabama experienced less than a dozen appeals in 2005 with only two resulting in changes. | |

Like reality television, the Schools Interoperability Framework Association (SIFA) is hot. We are often asked, "What really is going on in the field?" Implementations can look very different while utilizing similar software applications, Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) agents, zone integration servers, and other tools. This session will feature a panel presentation by multiple school districts from Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, and Illinois showing and discussing the SIF implementations that have taken place at the district level. This is a great place to bring questions you have to ask the districts that have successfully implemented SIF. | |
