EDFacts Metadata and Processing System (EMAPS) for School Years 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22

OMB No. 1850-0925 v.6

Introduction

The EDFacts Metadata and Process System (EMAPS) is a web-based tool used to provide SEAs with an easy method of reporting and maintaining information on state policies, plans, and other metadata to aid in the analysis of data collected. It is also used for data collections that are better suited to a web-based collection.

In the tables below, the Reference column lists the section names and question numbers that are used to organize each question. This column also includes skip logic. These might be altered slightly to ensure that questions appear proper on web pages.

Changes from prior year are marked with “Revised!” and “New!” Changes are also summarized in the introduction to each collection.

metaData collections

Metadata are information to explain other data. Like all data collections, the EDFacts collection requires metadata. Metadata collected from a State Education Agency (SEA) aid the analysis and appropriate use of data. The metadata to be collected range from information to support data submissions (e.g., completeness) to capturing state policies surrounding data collection (e.g., student count dates). EDFacts minimizes the burden on SEAs to report metadata by rigorously evaluating the need for the information and prioritizing metadata that pertain to critical data items.

It is possible as EDFacts data are collected that the items in the EMAPS metadata collections will be altered slightly to ensure the proper metadata are collected to support ED’s understanding of the EDFacts data.

state submission plan (SSP)

SEAs are responsible for maintaining a submission plan that provides details regarding its plans for reporting data via EDFacts. The plans indicate whether SEAs will submit files on time, the estimated number of educational units that will be submitted for each file level, and a status flag to indicate when the submission of data for each reporting level is complete and ready for ED’s review. This information is necessary in order to monitor state progress on file submissions, evaluate timeliness of submissions, and to provide a mechanism for SEAs to communicate to ED the completeness of the data they submitted.

For each file specification SEAs provide the information below.

ACCOUNTABILTY mETADATA New!

Due to the one-year waiver granted by ED, this metadata survey will not be collected in school year 2019-20.

This metadata collection relates to the collection of data on the accountability indicators for ESEA, as amended by ESSA. This metadata collection relates to the following EDFacts Submission System (ESS) file specifications:

• FS 199 Graduation Rate Indicator Status

• FS 200 Academic Achievement Indicator Status

• FS 201 Other Academic Indicator Status

• FS 202 School Quality or Student Success Indicator Status

• FS 205 Progress Achieving English Language Proficiency Indicator Status

• FS 160 High School Graduates Postsecondary Enrollment

For purposes of this metadata collection, an element is a component part of an indicator. For example, the academic achievement indicator could be composed of an element for mathematics and an element for reading/language arts.

This metadata collection includes information about collected performance levels for the elements of the indicators. Below is an example of metadata on performance levels for a nominal indicator:

Name of Performance Level	Range of Values (if applicable)	Description of Performance Level
Green		Meeting expectations
Yellow		Making progress
Red		Below expectations

ED proposes collecting this metadata survey manually for at least the first year to allow states more flexibility in responding to this collection.
