This page is intended to help school districts with the Data Standardization process and data clean-up in the Kentucky Student Information System (KSIS), Infinite Campus (IC).
As the Department responds to the reporting requirements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), data from many sources, KSIS, MUNIS and others must be utilized. Specific data elements must be collected to ensure that accurate information will be used for NCLB and KSIS. Data standardization is necessary to maintain so that these programs will have correct and accurate information now and in the future. This is achieved by setting standards on data collected by IC and financial (MUNIS) management systems.
Data Standardization is the process of making all data of the same type or class conform to an established convention or procedure to ensure consistency and comparability across different databases. This is especially important and necessary in a data warehouse environment that contains information from many sources. Without data standardization, no relationship can be established between the various data sources to produce reports that include information from multiple data sets within the data warehouse.
If you need assistance, please contact Leigh Welch in the Office of Knowledge, Information and Data Services (KIDS) at (502) 564-2020, ext. 477 or leigh.welch@education.ky.gov.
