Ed-Fi Updates

Ed-Fi: New Claim Set for HR/Finance Vendors

New claim sets were created for LEAs who use either or both a Human Resources staff information system (HR SIS) or a finance staff information system (F SIS) vendor tool to submit staff data to DPI. The claim set allows data from such vendor tools to create WISEids and to send staff records to WISEdata and other WISEsecure application via the Ed-Fi API.

WISEid/WISEstaff Updates

WISEid: Message Center/Alerts Screen

The Message Center, Alerts screen now shows student-specific alerts when viewing in WISEid and staff-specific alerts when viewing in WISEstaff.

• NOTE: There is an additional change coming later in November to remove outdated alerts.

WISEstaff: Various Updates

• We released several fixes related to reports and data validations.
• We fixed the error that was throwing when generating Hiring Agency Staff or Aggregate Staff reports.
• We cleared validation errors and warnings 4055, 4430, 5700 that were falsely triggered.
• We restored LEA’s ability to select PK grade and retain PK grade when completing preliminary certification.
• We restored LEA’s ability to upload aggregate assignment FTE file when leading zeroes were not included in the column values for:
  • Hiring LEA code
  • Working LEA code
  • Assignment area code
• We removed the error that displayed when completing preliminary certification.

WISEadmin Portal: Updating Text for Immunization Data Sharing Agreement

The Department of Health Services (DHS) is a partner agency with DPI for the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR) immunization registry integration. DHS and DPI are able to provide an API integration solution to retrieve the student immunization records from the Department of Health Services (DHS) and pass it back to the LEA’s student information system (SIS).

Only local education agencies whose student information system (SIS) vendor tools have completed the WIR integration certification may be set up in WIR.

The text within WISEadmin Portal pertaining to the WIR setup process will explain this requirement more clearly. This will alleviate unnecessary processing times on DHS and on LEAs who are attempting WIR integration with a SIS tool that is not compatible.

WISEadmin Portal: WIR data and Choice Schools

Choice schools that Opt-in to the All Students Report Card can access this tool through the WISEadmin Portal.

Choice schools that Opt-out to the All Students Report Card cannot opt in to the WIR tool. Likewise, a private school that was a Choice school in previous school years, but that changes its status to no longer be a Choice private school, can also no longer have access to the WIR integration.

Private schools that are no longer Choice schools will not have the ability to opt-in to the WIR tool via WISEadmin Portal. Private schools that are not/no longer Choice schools would not need access to WISEadmin Portal because they have different reporting expectations to DPI. These schools only need to provide information via the PI-1207, Private School Report.

For details on Choice schools’ data reporting visit the Choice Schools: Yearly Data Reporting Resources webpage.
