ISES status: We need your help to complete

(This email was sent only to districts with large numbers of ISES errors.)

As of 8 am Thursday, Oct 19, 2006 your district still had a significant number of errors in the Individual Student Enrollment system (ISES) data. The deadline for the Fall 2006 ISES Initial Submission period is 8 am Oct 31. We expect that districts will have their data locked by the end of the initial submission period.

The deadline for the Fall 2006 ISES Initial Submission Period was extended from 4 pm, October 20, 2006 to 8 am Tuesday, October 31, 2006. On Oct 31, 2006, 8 AM, ISES will close for statewide validation. ISES will reopen approximately one week later when the Review and Revision Period begins. No corrections to 2005-06 year end records or 2006-07 count date records will be accepted after November 22 which is the ISES Lock Down date. It is very important that current ISES collection closes on November 22 in order to facilitate use of ISES data for required purposes this year. Please plan accordingly.

Outstanding errors in ISES will prevent your district from completing your data submission and will prevent the processing of data by the Department of Public Instruction for such purposes as federal grants, E-Rate enrollment, ESEA Report Card, IDEA compliance, Adequate Yearly Progress, School Performance Report, and publication on WINSS. Anticipated uses of ISES data vary by data element and are listed on the Web pages describing each data element, http://dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/eseamap.html#data. Use of data is rapidly expanding, and we would like to help you have data that are as valid, reliable, and useful as possible.

Your continued efforts are appreciated. We recognize the difficulty of this task. Please contact the WSLS/ISES helpdesk if you have questions or concerns, via phone, 800-507-5744, or via the online Help Desk Expert tool, http://dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/helptool.html.
