Item #1

REMINDER: Mandatory and Voluntary Graduation Rate Audit

All schools that are subject to the mandatory graduation rate audit of the 2024 cohort have been notified by email. If you did not receive an email and/or are unsure if your school was selected, please check the list of mandatory audit schools (enrollment key: “AccountabilityCommunity”). Every high school should review their 2024 cohort. If there are students in the 2024 cohort with an incorrect (non-graduate) cohort status, please submit those students on the voluntary graduation rate audit. All schools are welcome to participate in the voluntary graduation rate audit, and it is the final opportunity to request a change to the 2024 cohort. The mandatory and voluntary graduation rate audits will be open from Wednesday, October 2, through Friday, October 25. Contact IDOE’s Office of Accountability with any questions.

Historical Announcements

Item #1

TIDE Roster Updates

We have learned that students will not be updated to TIDE rosters if the Student Demographic data is not complete. Where appropriate, the fields that must be amended to the Student Demographic record are Language, Race, ML Proficiency level, EL Instrument Used, Birth Country, Address, Address Begin Date, Address End Date, Email Address.

If a student has not updated to the TIDE roster, navigate to the Review page in DEX, activate the filter and enter the STN for the missing student then download the resource. Most likely there will be missing data on this record. Once this data has been provided to DEX for the student the TIDE roster should be updated within 24-48 hours.

Item #2

STN Application Center Retirement

IDOE will be retiring the STN Application Center in the second quarter of 2025. This system is being replaced by newer systems including Data Exchange, Ed-ID, a new Choice Voucher Application, and an EdData report called Student Data Backpack. Local data administrators should login to the STN Application Center and download any certified roster data that your school requires under Administration > Retrieve Data, as historic data will not be available via any tool in the future. IDOE’s Data Exchange Team is also compiling feedback on which current-year reports are still being utilized by Data Administrators for state reporting purposes, other than the STN Lookup. Please submit this information here. Contact the Data Exchange Team with any questions.
