Current Narrative:
Secondary: Minnesota has established a system of data collection through which career and technical education participants and concentrators are identified by extraction from student scheduling programs in each school district. Once identified, performance data on career and technical education participants and concentrators is extracted from appropriate data sets at the Minnesota Department of Education. Disaggregated data utilize the same student criteria as captured for all students in the state’s MARSS (Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System) database.
Postsecondary: As described under (1) above, postsecondary data will be reported using the Perkins Brio database. Perkins–eligible colleges will have continuous access to:
- A transactional database that provides detailed disaggregated information at the student level for ensuring data integrity and obtaining quick summary reports on performance.
- A cohort database that provides detailed information on locally negotiated performance targets, performance levels, anticipated and actual performance gaps.
Since the Perkins Brio database is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System Integrated Student System (ISRS), the data integrity rules that have been in place for the ISRS system also apply to the Perkins Brio data.
