Current Narrative:
Delaware collects LEA data through a statewide pupil accounting system called eSchoolPLUS. This system is used for entering CTE course information and course scheduling for students at the school level. All demographic and academic information on a student is also entered in eSchoolPLUS. The data is stored in a state database called DELSIS. Using a single database and SIF (Schools Interoperability Framework) technology DDOE is able to generate unique student identifiers and provide LEAs with real–time, complete and accurate data. LEAs are provided with data reporting and editing capability through Cognos Impromptu web reports. They are required to edit and verify Perkins data prior to a fixed submission date. Through this process, CTE participant and concentrator status is verified. Key demographic data (such as disability status) that are used to populate the Perkins CAR report are also verifiable.
