Report Description
The Public School Information System (PSIS) was developed by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) in 2002 to comply with federal law H.R.1, No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which requires the need for student-based data. PSIS also provides a statewide individual student identification database.
This report can be run at the school or district level.
Selection Criteria

- The end date of the school enrollment must be greater than the start date.
