Introduction

The ED165 Connecticut School Data Report is used to collect a wide variety of data elements at the school level for state and federal reporting. Some types of data that are included in the ED165 are:

Truancy
Pre-kindergarten experience
Connecticut Physical Fitness Assessment results
Teacher attendance
School Calendar

Selection Criteria

Students must be enrolled within the user-defined report dates, or the school year the report is run for if the report dates are null.
Students must not be excluded from state reporting
Truancy calculation does not apply for students over eighteen or below five years old.
Truancy at the student-level is NOT required for students in Pre-Kindergarten.
The reporting of truancy is not required for students over 18 years old on the collection snapshot date.
For students in Kindergarten, truancy determination should begin only after the student turns 5 years old. For example:
- A 4-year old Kindergarten student has four unexcused absences within 30 days in the fall. After the student turns 5 in December, they do not have any subsequent 30-day period with four unexcused absences. In total the student has 8 unexcused absences in the whole school year. The student is NOT truant.
- A 4-year old Kindergarten student has four unexcused absences within 30 days in the fall. After the student turns 5 in December, they do not have any subsequent 30-day period with four unexcused absences. In total the student has 11 unexcused absences in the whole school year but only 7 of those are after the student turns 5. The student is NOT truant.
