Colorado SIS Users Group Meeting Minutes from December 13, 2010 Location: Douglas County Public Schools, Castle Rock, Colorado Opening Statements: Welcome from Board President, Guy McPherson and introductions of attendees. Attendees: Constance Primslow, Kathy Knowles (Elizabeth), Shellie Scobee (Elizabeth), Kathy Green (CIC), Cindy Kidwell (Centennial Boces), Liz Smith (Widefield), Ann Godfrey (Brighton), Mark Richardson (CIC), Susanne Divelbiss (Pueblo City Schools), Garilyn Warmack (Pueblo City Schools), Carrie Sullivan (Littleton), Sue Warrick (Littleton), Jerry Windsor (Eaton), Mario Cataya (Jeffco), Shelley Tailer (Douglas County), Guy McPherson (Academy 20), Tina Madison (Woodland Park) CSIS Website: Guy informed the group that the CSIS website will not be updated right now. The plan is to update the site and make it more user-friendly in the near future. CDE: CDE did not add any new fields for December count. It was noted that the December count extract seems to be working from Infinite Campus with the .1046 patch applied. CIC: Kathy Green and Mark Thompson reported that the bug list is scheduled to be released on 12/14/2010. At this time there are not many bugs in Colorado. Kathy noted that in order for the December count extract to generate the correct information; Admin Unit and Disability Type must be correct in IC as well as student must be marked Yes for SPED. A reminder for districts on the enhancement line: Effective with the .1050 release, state reporting logic will be updated to pull values from the Eligibility tool (posEligibility table), and eligibility fields will be removed from this tab. All student eligibilities for free and reduced meal benefits should imported to the Eligibility tool. If eligibility data is currently stored on this tab, and/or in a non-Campus food service system, Infinite Campus recommends importing the eligibility data from the non-Campus food service system into the Campus Eligibility tool as soon as possible. The Enrollments eligibility field will be removed from the user interface with the release of .1050 (in most districts, this field is named "Meal Status" or "Economic Indicator"). This tool should no longer be used for the purpose of storing current eligibility data. Some districts have extracted this information from enrollment and imported to FRAM. The question was asked if more issues had been reported in the Enhancement Line than in the Maintenance Line. Kathy reported that CIC had not seen any more in the Enhancement Line than the Maintenance Line. It was noted that in order to run the CSAP Label extract, districts would need to be updated to at least the .1046 patch release. District Sharing: Widefield: FDF forms pull information from newest enrollment record. Brighton: SPED department is using the December Count extract from IC for the first time. Finished OCR (CRDC Report). Chose Revtrack as the online payment system and will open it up at the end of January. CIC: There is still room in the Masterful Scheduling Class. Sign up at the CIC website @ http://cicesp.com/CICLearningLabICCourseCatalog.asp Remote dial-in and Text messaging are available for districts on the Enhancement Line. Cost is $500 setup fee for each option. Pueblo City Schools: Having Title 10 data and enrollment issues – data was lost when a student changes schools. Littleton: Just finished End of Year – Freshman follow-up count does not seem fair or correct. Elizabeth: Task scheduler not working - .1050 update will fix that. Douglas County: Upgrading to .1046 – in the process of converting to Google Apps & Email as of January 31st. District estimates they will save over $300,000 over the next 5 years using Google Apps. Academy 20: How to update enrollment records after initial roll-up to keep from having to populate twice. Woodland Park: Moved to Enhancement Line. Problems with duplicated records at POS, issue was found to be ghost records in the system.
