Using the eScholar state-standardized Data Warehouse solution, data elements from multiple information systems, including student information systems, special education systems, nutrition systems and human resource systems, are integrated into a single data repository, from which districts have direct access to a comprehensive district profile. This service provides districts with an accurate and consistent means for importing district data extracted from various information systems.
Subscribers of NERIC-supported information systems, which have approved eScholar data extracts, can be confident that data is available for import in the standard format as prescribed by the Student Information Repository System (SIRS). Data validation rules are run against district data throughout the submission process to identify potential errors in data reporting and state reports are generated for district review prior to the district’s certification of data accuracy.
