Student Level Data Collection-Ongoing Challenges

Opportunity Enhance Student Tracking

• KSDE will pilot a student locator framework using
  SIF (School Interoperability Framework)
  technology to automatically track students as
  they move from school to school.
• This automates the flow of student claims and
  EXITs between your district and KSDE.
• Interested districts please email me at
  kgosa_at_ksde.org .

5
Opportunity User Authentication District
Level Management

• KSDE has implemented the User Access Management
  System to allow a district to manage approval and
  denial of user access privileges for KSDE web
  applications for its staff.
• This can be done by the superintendent or his/her
  delegate.
• If you are interested please contact me at
  kgosa_at_ksde.org or 785-296-7931.
