This is a friendly reminder that the FY20 ESS Annual Data Collection application is available and accessible to PEAs. Be aware, there are two separate due dates involved in this data collection reporting requirement. 

The ADE/ESS is pleased to present the opening of registration for Arizona’s 2020 IDEA Conference, Converging Ideas: Connections for Student Success! We are excited that the IDEA Virtual Conference is here and we are ready to open professional and personal development for this school year with rich and relevant learning opportunities. 

The SPED74 – SPED Exit Report is a new report now available in the AzEDS Portal. This post-integrity report will populate students for your PEA who are ages 13 – 22 based on the Calculated Age for Exit. The SPED74 report is to aid in the determination of validating exit data for the ESS Annual Data Collection (ADC). This report will be available for FY21 data and forward only. 

Effective Fiscal Year 2021, a new integrity rule will be implemented for SPED Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Exit Code SPED05 (Moved, known to be continuing).

Integrity Rule -40078: Exit code SPED05 is invalid with continuing site enrollment.

Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, ESS Data Management has rescheduled the Discipline Data Collection (DDC) training webinar from August 25 to September 2, 2020, from 10am - 11am.

Due to changes in reporting to Arizona State School for the Deaf and Blind (ASDB) sites in FY21, Integrity Error -10003 will be deactivated.  Any PEA currently failing this rule should disregard.
