Standardized Reporting Dates
Districts and Charter Schools will have a ten (10) working day window in which to submit their data.
The Standardized Reporting Dates for 2020–2021 are as follows:
- First reporting period (40 Day) = Second Wednesday of October
- Second reporting period (80 Day) = December 1st ,or the first working day in December
- Third reporting period (120 Day) = Second Wednesday of February
- Fourth is at your respective End-of-Year (EOY) date
Regardless of your actual 40th day for the 2020-21 school year, your school and/or district data should be pulled and reported as of the specific standardized reporting dates listed above. So, for example, submit your data as it exists on 2020-10-14 using the logical reporting date of 2020-10-01 (40D).
Several of the templates contain snapshot or reporting date fields. Since these are date fields (rather than character fields) a standard set of dates have been developed to represent each reporting period. (40D, 80D, etc.) These dates are shown above and remain consistent with what has historically been reported in STARS. It is important to remember that these are just representations for the specific reporting periods in the database. For example, the standardized 40th Day Date for all districts during the 2020-2021 school year is 2020-10-14, but will be represented as a snapshot date as 2020-10-01. This does not mean that a district must report data as of 2020-10-01, but rather, report data for your district and school as of 2020-10-14.
The standardized reporting snapshots will mean that a unique student ID number can belong to only one specific location on October 14, 2020 (and subsequent snapshots), for example, an individual student can no longer be resident in more than one districts’/schools’ 40th day date as has been the case in the past.
Districts and/or Schools should run the District and Location Reports > General Reports >EXCEPTION – Student ID Duplicates Report to identify duplicate students and work together to resolve the reporting between claiming locations. PED will work with districts and/or schools to identify and resolve any duplicate ID number issues. This may include requests for the assignment of new ID numbers where student ID number duplicates are found across multiple locations.
