RV SYSTEM OPENS APRIL 27, 2015
PVAAS Roster Verification
• PIMS Staff-Student-Subtest collection will be used for prepopulating the roster system (NOT Course HQT!)
• Staff-Student-Subtest collection deadline is March 25, 2015 at 11:59 pmoDeadline falls during the PDE Data Summit – LEAs who attend may
need to submit early!
oUse Cognos reports to check on data errors
• SIS meeting needs of PIMS state reporting for LEAs
PVAAS Roster Verification
Substitutes• Remind LEAs about language in FAQ on Long Term Substitutes
Overclaiming and Underclaiming• Over-claimed students are students claimed for more than 100% across
teachers/schools/LEAs.
• All over claiming of students WITHIN a district/LEA must be resolved.
• LEAs are not expected to resolve issues of over claiming of students ACROSS LEAs, UNLESS the LEAs are sharing a student(s) simultaneously (such as an IU and district)
• Under-claimed students are claimed for less than 100% across teachers/school/LEAS.◦ Because underclaimed students are flagged in the system, some LEAs are concerned they
must resolve all instances of underclaiming…
◦ However, underclaiming can be appropriate and accurate. There are legitimate reasons for under-claiming (For example: a student moved into PA/new to PA public schools part way through school year.)
