“Near Match Resolution” • System cannot automatically resolve all requests for Ids • Human review is required for those records that cannot be automatically matched • School district personnel will receive training in “resolving the queue” of unmatched records
Testing completed in July 2004 Currently working to assign IDs to records in RIC warehouses Use ID on LEAP and STEP data collection for 2004/05 school year Use ID for all students in Grades 3-12 in school year 2005/06 ID will be used as part of new GR 3-8 assessment program Require IDs for all students in 2006-07 school year Key Dates for Unique ID
