DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT: Special Education Data Dashboard: Certification Open Today, July 22, 2024

The Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) Certification opens today, July 22, 2024. Certification is due August 5, 2024, by 5:00 p.m. This is a requirement of all Public Education Agencies (PEAs), including those without qualifying data within the modules.

Please note: As of July 15, 2024, the data in SEDD is locked and cannot be edited. Visit School Finance’s Guidelines and Manuals web page for detailed guidance on requesting a prior-year data correction for student data.

Certification is accessible only to users with the ESS SEDD: LEA Signer role. Only local entity administrators can assign this role to an individual. For information on how to add an ADEConnect role, visit ADEConnect FAQs.

During this process, PEAs will certify the following:

1. Student Exit Data
   • This module displays exit data for Special Education (SPED) students based on specific exit codes, age ranges, and dates outlined in the SPED Exit Flow Chart.
2. Preschool Transition Data
   • Public School Districts with boundaries were required to enter data for students transitioning from the Arizona Early Intervention Program (AZEIP) to Part B. If not applicable, this module will be inactive.
3. Students Without Disabilities
   • This module captures data on students without disabilities with an expulsion (W3) exit code. During the review phase, PEAs indicated if such students received educational services during expulsion. If not applicable, this module will be inactive.
4. Discipline Data
   • This module displays discipline incidents for SPED students that resulted in removal from their educational environment.

Resources available to assist PEAs include:
