Designation
of Student Information System Contact |
School divisions are required by state regulations to
collect, maintain, and report certain student information to the Department of
Education. Amendments to Virginias
pupil accounting regulations, effective March 28, 2001, give local school
boards greater flexibility in record keeping in lieu of using the Virginia
Teachers Register.
To improve communications and processes to ensure that
automated systems maintain and produce the information that school divisions
are required to report to the Department of Education, we are requesting that
each division designate a student information system (SIS) contact person.
Whenever any changes are made to state reporting requirements for student
information, a communication that identifies the change(s) and the due date
would be sent to the SIS contact as far in advance as possible.
Information on the SIS contact person should be submitted
on the School and Staff Administrations Web-based form (refer to Supts. Memo No.
57 dated November 9, 2001). The form
can be accessed from the Department of Educations website at the following
address:

Should you have any questions or require additional
information, please contact Janet Christopher (mailto:jchristo@mail.vak12ed.edu),
