FAQ: Data Certification

Does having errors and/or exclusions affect the ability of school admin to certify our data?

No, school administrators can still certify their data, even if errors and/or exclusions are present.

I have students who have moved out of my district and have these students as Excluded on the Certification page. I just want to make sure that I should be reporting the students that are no longer at our school as Primary School: False and leave them as Resident Enrollment. By doing this I'm assuming they would show up as Certified False -which is where they should be.

Students who have been enrolled and in attendance at any point in time during the school year and the school was identified as primary 'True' should remain 'True' when they exit. Schools should NOT be changing the primary school status when a student exits. This will cause students to count be certified at the end of the school year. Students who have exited prior to a count date will have a message they are excluded because they are not actively enrolled, not because they are primary 'false'.
