DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT
October 1 Data Collection Phase II Trainings for FY 2026
Annually, the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is required to report special education (SPED) data to the federal government. The October 1 Data Collection (ODC) is part of that process and is required by all Public Education Agencies (PEAs). ODC has three phases:
- Child Count Verification and Personnel
- Child Count Reconciliation
- Child Count Non-Reconciliation (if applicable)
During Phase II, PEAs must submit and reconcile student-level data for students with disabilities participating in a Special Education program over the October 1 child count date through AzEDS. The primary goal of Phase II is to ensure that these students align with the verification count submitted during Phase I.
ESS Data Management is excited to offer training opportunities to assist with Phase II, including an in-person workshop and a live webinar! Listed below is the schedule for the ODC Phase II training.
