QUALITY CONTROL (QC) DAY DATA NOW AVAILABLE
The Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA), along with District Assessment Coordinators (DACs), will conduct a QC Day from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. ET today. The purpose of the QC Day is to identify systemic issues in accountability data prior to any public release, not for individual student level changes. This will be the last viewing of data prior to the embargoed release to districts.
Schools and districts should not share the preliminary data beyond the leadership level during the QC Day process and all the data must be kept secure until public reporting. The data cannot be shared through email or in any public meetings. Public release of accountability data is tentatively scheduled for October 31 in the School Report Card (SRC).
To assist with the QC Review process, DACs will want to complete the following steps:
- Review Summary Files from the Secure Web Application (organized in folders under Student Data Detail), if a nondisclosure has been submitted.
- Access zipped files for each district can be found under the Student Data Detail- example of the file name "SD23_District number_QC_Day_2023_DistrictName_20231017.zip”.
- Complete Online QC Day Checklist to signal that the data has been evaluated. Password: QCDAY
- Submit Online Data Discrepancy Day Report Form for systemic issues, not individual student changes. Password: QCDAY
Note: District staff should submit one form for each issue. DACs can submit as many forms as needed. After staff research the issues submitted, DACs will be emailed a response from the KDE Assessment general mailbox in the order received.
The zipped files contain folders. The folders contain spreadsheets for each school and district on the following:
Accountability
Student Data
- Graduates
- Postsecondary Readiness (PSR)
- Tests - contains both content and ACCESS student data to validate. RD/MA, SC/SS/WR and EL indicator.

If districts have difficulty accessing the Secure Web Portal or the Student Data Review and Rosters (SDRR) application, please contact your district WAAPOC, who may contact the KETS Service Desk if needed for support. SDRR is for downloading the student listing and ticket listing, Cohort and Postsecondary Readiness Scores from Data Review only.
DACs complete the QC Day checklist of activities to analyze data.
Each district has been assigned a staff member in OAA for support.
At completion of analysis, DACs sign off on the Online QC Day checklist that data review was completed.
