Remove TK Grade Level from 2026-27 Calendars*
If the TK grade level exists in any 2026–27 calendars, including program calendars, it should be removed. Before removing the grade level, districts must update any students enrolled in TK within a 2026–27 calendar to the appropriate grade level. Any TK grade levels that are not removed will be mapped to the state grade level of KG.
Sequence numbers can be adjusted for the remaining grade levels, as long as they are consistent across all schools in the PSU.

Errors in Section Data*
Some PSUs currently have course sections in NCSIS with data issues, including missing term types, missing teacher assignments, or term types that do not align with the actual course dates.
For example, a course may be scheduled to run from January through June but is assigned a Semester 1/Fall term type.
At this time, the NCSIS course section validation report that will identify these issues is still under development. Until that report is fully available, PSUs can access a discrepancy report identifying these course section issues through PSU Test Coordinator access to the Accountability and Testing Collection Status Viewer and Secure Shell.
All corrections to data issues must be made directly in NCSIS. Updates should be completed no later than May 1, 2026, to ensure accurate and complete reporting.

NEW AIG Validation Report Available
Beginning on Thursday, April 2, 2026, NC SIS users will be able to access the new (NC) AIG Transfers data validation report. This new report will generate a list of all students within a PSU who have prior Gifted Program history and do not have a current gifted record within the PSU. Running the NC AIG Transfers data validation provides a list of these students who had data transferred into the PSU before the email notifications process was working to alert users of AIG student transfers.
To support effective use of this new resource:
- SIS Coordinators, please ensure that the correct personnel have access to this data validation report to run at the school and/or district level.
- AIG Coordinators are encouraged to run the report and review the Gifted program records for each student to determine how each student will be identified and served in the PSU.
For additional information, please review the "Events & Action” guidance document. To assist with questions related to the AIG Transfer functionality, the new data validation report, and general AIG headcount questions, the Office of Advanced Learning and Gifted Education team will be hosting a series of Office Hours throughout the month of April.
Feel free to drop in on any of the following dates or reach out via email to Stephanie Cyrus (stephanie.cyrus@dpi.nc.gov).

CRDC Coordinators Brief
Begin Local Data Collection Planning
As preparation continues for the SY2025–26 Civil Rights Data Collection, PSUs should begin identifying data elements that are not collected by NCDPI and must be tracked locally during the current school year.
The NC CRDC Canvas course includes a Collection by Entity document from the most recent submission cycle, which can be used as a starting point for local planning. This resource reflects prior requirements and may not include future updates.
PSUs should use current processes and available documentation to begin tracking applicable data and monitor future communications for updates as federal guidance becomes available.
Ensure CRDC contact information in EDDIE remains current to support ongoing communication.
Contact the SEA CRDC Coordinator with any questions at NC.OCR.CRDC@dpi.nc.gov
