Repaired:

The bar chart for mean scale scores for all NYSTP ELA and math grade levels shows a maximum potential of 600 in the y-axis, but the maximums are different for each grade level (as you show in the ISRs).

This now shows the correct maximum scale score for each NYSTP grade combination.

Known Issues

• Report Cards

o    RIC/Network/Region users have access to the Report Card link, but they cannot access the individual District and School PDF files. This will be resolved for next year’s Report Cards.

• Enrollment Module

o The Grade dropdown in the navigation bar is unsorted

• Verification Reports
  • In the Student Detail Report, under the column “Tested/Not Tested Reason”, the "Not Tested” reason code is equivalent to a student having no assessment record in the repository.
  • The Return Button has been removed because it no longer works
  • The current alternate functionality is all verification report links will spawn a new browser window.  To go back to the previous report, simply select the previous internet browser from the taskbar.  Please refer to the instructions posted on the NYSED website for more information:

http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/irts/nystart/2007/documentation/R1/navigation-instructions.shtml

o   The export to CSV button has been removed because it does not work.  Cognos does not support export to CSV if the report has multiple queries.  However, the “Export to Excel” buttons are still available.
