Subject – Acting On Data Change Requests
 
 
As part of finalizing open enrollment data, please be sure to respond to data change requests as soon as possible.   
There are a number of data change requests in OPAL that are more than a month old.  
 
When you sign in, OPAL opens into your mailbox.   If you see any large red numbers in a yellow circle, this means 
you have data change requests to respond to.   Click on the words “New Data Change Requests.”    This will bring up 
a list of students with pending requests.  Click on the student’s name and review the request.  If you agree, click on 
“Accept.”   If you disagree, please contact the other district right away to resolve the issue.   Given the short time 
frame we are working on,  I would discourage you from simply rejecting it.  
 
If you have any questions, please contact me (information below) or Merry Larsen (merry.larsen@dpi.wi.gov or 
608-266-2146).
