DATA MANAGEMENT ALERT

Special Education Data Dashboard Update:

Preschool Transition and Students without Disabilities Data Entry Now Open

Two new data entry components are added to the Special Education Data Dashboard (SEDD) as of today:

• Preschool Transition: required for PEAs that provide special education and related services to preschoolers. Data entry involves information on students who transferred from Part C (Arizona Early Intervention Program) to Part B (PEA preschool program).
• Students without Disabilities: data entry is required for PEAs to identify whether or not educational services were provided to students without disabilities reported as long-term suspended or expelled in AzEDS.

These data collection requirements are due by August 3, 2022, by 5:00 pm. If your PEA does not serve preschoolers and/or does not have any students without disabilities reported as long-term suspended or expelled, these components will not be accessible and are not applicable.

To access the SEDD application, please log into ADEConnect, navigate to the Exceptional Student Services Portal and select the Special Education Data Dashboard button under Data Collection & Reporting.

From the home page of the SEDD application, you can select this component through the “Data” menu option or click “Go” in one or more of the accessible boxes.

As a reminder, exit data will be extracted from AzEDS daily and displayed after processing federal business rules. This data is REVIEW only. Any changes to this data will need to be made through your Student Information System and uploaded/synced to AzEDS. You will have until July 15, 2022, by 5:00 pm to finalize your Exit data.

You can refer to the technical assistance documents under the “Help” menu option, which will take you to the SEDD website that contains the appropriate tools and resources.

If you did not attend the Special Education Data Updates (SEDU) webinar in April or May, feel free to review the recordings available on our website under Training Opportunities or on our YouTube Channel. Note the SEDD portion for the April session begins at 3:57, and the May session begins at 7:08.
