DATE:	November 22, 2006 (Email)
TO:	District Administrators WSLS/ISES Administrators WSLS/ISES Assistant Administrators (Sent only to unlocked districts with unacknowledged warnings, but no ISES errors.)
FROM:	WSLS/ISES Help Desk
SUBJECT:	Final ISES Data Past Due

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS MESSAGE TO ALL DISTRICT STAFF WORKING IN WSLS or ISES

The deadline for the Fall 2006 ISES data collection was November 22, 2006. Your district's data is past due. As of 10 am, November 24 your district still had unacknowledged warnings that are preventing your district from submitting your data to DPI.

For the next few days your district will continue to have an opportunity to review and revise your ISES data on-line. The current ISES collection will close with little or no warning, so please ensure that any district data errors are corrected as soon as possible. Your district is one of many which have resolved all outstanding errors, but have one or more unacknowledged warnings which require review.

Complete and accurate ISES data are critical to making reliable accountability decisions. Graduation and attendance rates for all students are evaluated at the school and district levels, and used to determine whether or not schools and districts are meeting the state defined criteria as part of adequate yearly progress (AYP). Inaccurate ISES data could lead to identification for improvement. For more information about AYP and the graduation and attendance requirements see: http://dpi.wi.gov/oea/acct_sch.html#annualreview.

Your continued cooperation is 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.
