Public Attendance Insights Dashboard 

A public version of the Attendance Insights Dashboard is now available.  This report joins other public reports on the EdData platform. The public version of the Attendance Insights dashboard allows comparison of attendance patterns between schools and against state data. The data will display for the 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 school years. Contact IDOE’s Office of Information Technology with additional questions.

Key Contact Display in LINK Portal

Key contacts, including the roles of superintendent, financial contact, special education director, principal, Data Exchange contact, etc., are now displayed within the LINK Portal for all users to view. After logging into the LINK Portal, click on the “Contacts” tab at the top of the screen to view. Search for your organization and then click on the “Full Directory” link. If you are a Key Contact for your organization, please review this information for accuracy. Information for how these data are provided to IDOE is included below. 

 Designation of Key Contacts

Security coordinators for all traditional public, charter, and accredited non-public schools are responsible for ensuring their organization’s key contacts for the 2024-2025 school year are set. Key contacts, including the roles of Superintendent, Financial Contact, Special Education Director, Principal, Data Exchange Contact, etc., are needed for the 2024-2025 school year even if those contacts were provided last school year. 

For school corporations that have an Ed-Fi student information system (SIS), key contacts and other staff role assignments should be entered and managed in the local SIS, and then provided to DEX/LINK for the new school year. However, all three options below are available:

1. Provide staff classifications in the local SIS per the vendor’s instructions,

2. Add a staff type manually for the 2024-2025 school year via the Security Portal, or

3. Upload templates 008_StaffAssociation_StaffEdOrgAssignmentAssociation and 009_StaffOrganizationContactAssociation into DEX. 

Schools utilizing options two and three may cause overriding or loss of data. Schools should connect with their SIS vendor to better understand how to avoid data loss when providing data via multiple methods. IDOE is now recognizing only the 2024-2025 school year assignments. Security coordinator instructions can be found here. Contact IDOE’s Data Exchange Team with any questions.

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.

STN Application Center Retirement

IDOE will be retiring the STN Application Center by the end of March, 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.
