2003-04 End-of-Year Student Records Data Collection and Miscellaneous Statistics

To comply with the information and reporting requirements for adequate yearly progress, report cards, and performance indicators of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), the Department of Education is conducting the End-of-Year (EOY) Student Records Data Collection for the 2003-2004 school year. Informational Supts. Memo No. 75, dated May 2, 2003, included specific information regarding the student record collection and reporting timeframes.

The 2003-04 End-of-Year Student Records Data Collection (STUDENT_EOY) should reflect students records as of the last day of the 2003-04 school year as well as summer school graduate information. The end-of-year collection also includes a Web-based entry form to collect miscellaneous aggregate statistics regarding the number of days each school was in session and summer school attendance.

A detailed listing of the data elements on the student record, the aggregate data collected on the Web-based form, and instructions for completing and submitting the data can be found on the Virginia Department of Educations website at http://www.pen.k12.va.us/VDOE/Publications/student-eoy/datacoll/coll.htm.

Two training sessions will be held to review the Student Records Data Collection process, discuss changes that have taken place, and address changes that are planned for the end-of-year and fall student record collections. The training locations and dates are:
