What Is Data Validation?

• Our vendor, MetriTech, provides a list of students who were administered the ACCESS test via a website.

• It is an opportunity to clean up the demographic data before score reports are generated.

• Closes on Wednesday, May 8th at noon

• Test coordinators will receive an email with login information.

• Test coordinators and LEP coordinators should work jointly to validate data.

Discrepancy Reports

• LEP consultants are working on reports to pinpoint local discrepancies using the MetriTech file.

• They will be available through the CFDC portal under the reports tab.
