The required elements are: student's legal name, gender, birth date, primary language, and ethnicity. Recommended elements are student's birth city, state and country. Control elements for Student Identifier Assignment are LEA CDS numbers, local student identifier and enrollment date.

The CSIS program has developed a procedure involving LEA and CDE staffs to review requests for access to the data in the central repository. Currently, only aggregate student and classified staff data is released to the California Department of Education. Parents (or guardians or students over eighteen years old) and staff members have the right to inspect the records in the CSIS central repository that pertain to them.

Yes. SB1453 requires that all California public schools, including charter schools, obtain and maintain a CSIS unique identifier for every enrolled K-12 student.

The CSIS Student Identifier will be required on all state K-12 assessments in the 2005-2006 school year.

Please review the California Schools Information Services (CSIS) overview Statewide Student Identifier Overview Presentation for general project information. If you have any questions please feel free to contact CSIS Student Identifier Support, (916) 325-9260 or email: ssid@csis.k12.ca.us For start up information. Although maintaining the CSIS Identifier is mandatory, LEAs are encouraged but not required to maintain a separate local student identifier.

California School Information Services staff will train LEA staff in the process of obtaining and maintaining student identifiers. CSIS will develop training schedules based on current training cycles. Experienced CSIS staff will be available to support LEAs.

There are currently 12 CSIS capable Student Information Systems (SIS) that have been participating in the CSIS program. (Vendor List) If your SIS is one of these systems it should have software available to obtain student identifiers. If your SIS is not one of the participating systems you will need to examine your readiness to request and store CSIS Student Identifiers.

Work with your local staff to establish a procedure for maintenance of the Student Identifier, including:

You will receive your SB1453 funding for initial assignment of the CSIS Statewide Student Identifiers after all your students have received an identifier. The reimbursement is based on your CBEDS enrollment for the year the initial assignment is completed. After you receive training from CSIS you will receive an initial intent to participate form from CDE. Sign the intent to participate form and return to CDE.

The following are the minimum needs to access the CSIS DataGate to send and receive data from CSIS. You should also assess your internal needs for assembling the needed data to assign student identifiers and the storage and maintenance of the CSIS Student Identifier. We do not support Mac at this time. We have plans to support it in the future, but the implementation date is undetermined at this time.

Yes, we provide Web Cast training and are in the planning stages of providing a self paced tutorial training. There is no charge for training offered by CSIS. (Your SIS vendor may offer local SIS based training).

The Global JXDM is a reference model that is based on a class hierarchy of many specific objects (xsd:type) derived from one very general object (SuperType). Any xsd:complexType can be extended to include additional properties (xsd:elements) as necessary. XML instances based on a schema that locally extends the Global JXDM will contain elements that are only recognized by local applications that are aware of the new elements.

Database identifier annotations can be created using CellML metadata in SBML Level 2; see the specification for CellML Metadata, in particular Section 4.10, ''Biological Entity''. SBML elements derived from SBase have a metaid attribute, which should contain a value unique to the SBML document. RDF elements can use this value as a reference to the specific element. Its possible to use a simpler form of database identifier annotation than that shown in the CellML specification.

The CSIS Student Identifier allows an individual student's data to be uniquely distinguishable from that of other students and to be consistently identified over their entire K-12 academic career. The CSIS Identifier is a ten digit, random numeric value that is intended to be stored at the student's district so that it may be associated with that student. The CSIS Student Identifier is non-personally identifiable back to an individual student. The state will not have access to student names.

The Global JXDM is a reference model and schema. Elements are designed for maximum initial flexibility. They are: These rules are not absolute. There may be cases in which these rules are not practical or realistic, or where the XML Schema specifications must take precedence. In addition the Global JXDM reference architecture defines a constraint schema in which more specific constraints can be applied to elements.

The Global JXDM is an object-oriented model that takes advantage of property inheritance to reuse components. This helps to keep the total number of elements smaller. However, this also means that some specific data element names do not exist in the dictionary because more generically named properties are inherited down to the more specific subtypes. For example, the Global JXDM does not contain an ArrestDate element.

A data element describes the contents of a field. For example, a data element contains the F1 help texts and the key Several fields with the same technical attributes can refer to the same domain. In this case, each of these fields has

Yes. SB1453 appropriates funding for the initial assignment and maintenance of a CSIS Student Identifier for each K-12 public school student.

We will need the following student information: student ID #, student name, grade, date of birth, gender, and ethnicity. Names and ID are necessary so we can produce class rosters for test administration and score reporting.

A spreadsheet formula can generate a repeating identifier variable of a certain size. For example, the formula: where n is the maximum group size, can be used to generate a variable with codes up to that size. For example, when n=4, then the following values (codes) of the grouping variable will be generated: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4,... Case Weights must be integers. If the variable chosen as the weighting variable is a non-integer number it will be truncated to become an integer.

All geographical subdivisions smaller than a State, including street address, city, county, precinct, zip code, and their equivalent geocodes, except for the initial three digits of a zip code, if according to the current publicly available data from the Bureau of the Census: (1) The geographic unit formed by combining all zip codes with the same three initial digits contains more than 20,000 people; and (2) The initial three digits of a zip code for all such geographic units containing 20,000 o.

Yes. If the information in pre-filled data fields is incorrect, the reporting system can make corrections and use the "state note" to explain the reason for the change. If the pre-filled information is in a "locked" data entry field, please contact Maria Hazapis in DLD at (518) 486-1330, mhazapis@mail.nysed.gov. The CCD Plan is not optional for SLS systems.

After you receive your initial student identifiers, the maintenance process will ensure the uniqueness of the identifier and assist LEAs in making sure they are not duplicating assignment of identifiers.

SB 1453 funding should be used to complete tasks necessary to enable the LEA to obtain and maintain a CSIS Student Identifier.

Using durable subscribers, if subscribing from two different clients and using the same connection factory and the connection factory has a configured clientID, distinct clientID's must be set for each after the TopicConnection has been created. Each connection needs a unique clientID. If you configure a connection factory with a clientID, you can only create one TopicConnection with that factory until that one connection is closed.

Registration Agencies (RAs) are established to provide services on behalf of specific user communities. CrossRef, for example, is providing citation-linking services for the scientific publishing sector, so publishers will choose CrossRef as their Registration Agency if they wish to use the specific service or services offered by CrossRef. Choosing an appropriate RA will give you access to DOI System services and implementations offered by the RA for that community.

Social Security Numbers, Taxpayer identification numbers, names of minors, dates of birth, financial account numbers, home address. Please refer to the E-Government Act of 2002 with amendments in 2004 for identified personal identifiers and the current E-Filing General Order.
