Actually it's not. I called them (Howard H.) after I posted this email and found that all of this information needs to be posted to ISBE SIS by the deadline. He did clarify that if they are returning students then they already have the info from last year so we only have to worry about any "new" students. That helps substantially "BUT" we still have 300 new students to process (get tested, make determinations regarding their program indicators) and get all of the data entered into our local SIS. If you look at the program indicators there are quite a few determinations that must be made for each and every student.

Our first day of submission of all of that info is 08/01/10 but the 10/15/10 deadline is ONLY for School Year Enrollments. The rest of the data you speak up isn't due until later dates. Just look at the pdf/powerpoint available at ISBE for planning for the school year 2011. Russ Gowin System Administrator Technology Specialist DeLand-Weldon CUSD #57 304 E.

That puts a lot of stress on your people to get every student identified properly (Program indicators), tested (ELL), screened/assessed for early childhood and homeless, let alone get all the data entry done....all by this date? It's especially difficult for those districts who started late (Our first day of school was August 26th).
