KIDS Collection TASC

Teacher and Student Course

The TASC extract is used to collect a teacher and student connection for use in creating rosters in other applications, i.e., K-FIT, KITE, etc. The Kansas Collection TASC report will be used to submit data elements, based on the TASC collection cycle, to the Kansas Department of Education (KSDE) Kansas Individual Data on Students (KIDS) system. The TASC data collection focuses on providing links between the courses students take during the school year and the educators teaching the courses.
