# PURPOSE

This document contains instructions for building XML files to submit
ED*Facts* Data Group: Elementary/Middle Additional Indicator Tables, ID#
556. The definition for this data group is in the row "Table Name" in
Table 4.2-1. The data collected through this file specification is
required by No Child Left Behind (NCLB).

A separate document contains the non-XML file formats. General guidance
for constructing all file types may be found in the ED*Facts* Workbook.

## Changes from the SY 2006-07 File Specifications

There have been changes to this file specification. These changes
resulted in changes to the record layout.

-   The permitted value \"No students in the sub population\" was added
    to the Status category.

-   The permitted value for safe harbor was deleted for the Status
    category.

-   The category name \"LEP status (accountability)\" changed to \"LEP
    status (only)\" because the population of students who are LEP is
    different than the population of students who are included in
    accountability reporting for LEP.

## Requirements for Submitting this Data Group

This data group is submitted at the following levels:

-   LEA

-   School

The following table indicates the valid combinations of categories
needed for this file. An "X" in the column indicates that the column
must be populated when reporting that particular category.

**Please note that the category \"Status\" is treated similar to a
\"count\" and is part of the table object not the category object.**

# GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILE

This file specification is used to collect the elementary/middle
additional indicator.

See below for additional guidance concerning this file:

**What is the reporting period of this file?**

The reporting period for this file is school year. The indicator should
be based on results during the reporting year. For example, the
indicator for SY 2007-08 is based on what occurred during SY 2007-08.
The indicator in this file can be viewed as a final result for the
school year.

**What education units should be included in this file?**

Report LEAs and schools that were open and offered elementary and middle
grades.

**What education units should not be included in this file?**

Do not report LEAs or schools that only offered high school grades.

**Do I need to report a permitted value for each category set?**

Yes. Each school or district will have 9 records (5 for race/ethnicity,
1 for LEP Status, 1 for Disability Status, 1 for Economically
Disadvantaged Status, and 1 for All Students).

Each record in the file indicates the status of the elementary/middle
additional indicator for a specific student subgroup or all students.
For example, if a school met the elementary/middle additional indicator
for economically disadvantaged students, the record would indicate
"ECODIS" in the field for "Economically Disadvantaged Status" and
"METADDIND" in the field for "Status." When reporting the indicator for
all students, only the field "Status" is used. The status for "All
Students" is the result of the additional indicator for all students. It
is not the overall designation of the district or school.

**What Status should I use?**

For any school or district, the elementary/middle additional indicator
has one of the following statuses for the various student subgroups and
for all students:

-   **METADDIND**: The school or district met the additional indicator
    for the specific student subgroup or all students.

-   **NOTMETADDIND**: The school or district did not meet the additional
    indicator for the specific student subgroup or all students.

-   **TOOFEW**: The number of students in a specific student subgroup or
    all students was less than the minimum group size outlines in a
    state's consolidated accountability workbook necessary required to
    reliably calculate the additional indicator status.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **NOSTUDENTS**: There were no students in the subgroup. If a school
    or district has no students in a specific subgroup, the status
    should be reported as \"NOSTUDENTS.\" (If no students are in the
    school or district, the school or district should not be included in
    this file.)

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   **MISSING**: The status of the additional indicator for a specific
    school or district is not available at the time the file is
    prepared.

-   **NA:** Not applicable - Schools or districts that are not required
    to meet the additional indicator (for example, high schools) should
    not be included in the file. If they were included, the status would
    be reported as "NA."

**Do any other file specifications collect similar data?**

Under NCLB, states determine the Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status
of each school and district. Each school and district receives one
overall AYP designation, collected in N/X103 Data Group ID# 32. This
determination is based on the evaluation of each subgroup within a
school or district. The matrix below illustrates the relationship
between AYP status and the indicators used to calculate it and ED*Facts*
data groups and files.

# FILE NAMING CONVENTION

Being able to readily identify any particular file transmission is an
important consideration for users of the EDEN Data Submission System.
Being able to identify a particular file can greatly facilitate any
technical assistance that may be requested by the state. A maximum of 25
characters (including the file extension) is allowed for the file name.
The following is the naming convention for Elementary/Middle Additional
Indicator file submissions:

sslev**ELMDADIND**vvvvvvv.xml

Where:

> **ss** = Two-character USPS State Abbreviation for the submitting SEA.
>
> **lev** = Three-character abbreviation for the level submitted. Use:
>
> LEA for a Local Education Agency Elementary/Middle Additional
> Indicator submission
>
> SCH for a School Elementary/Middle Additional Indicator submission
>
> **Filename** = **ELMDADIND** (no more than nine characters).
>
> **vvvvvvv** = Up to seven-character alphanumeric string designated by
> the SEA to uniquely identify the individual submission (e.g., ver0001,
> v010803).
>
> **.xml** = The three-character file extension identifying the Data
> Records.

## XML Specification Headings

The XML specifications are represented in a table with the headings:

-   Element -- name of the XML element tag.

-   Attribute -- name of the XML attribute tag.

-   Category Value -- name of the category.

-   Char -- the XML element or attribute characteristic as previously
    defined.

-   Definition/Comments -- definition and additional comments related to
    formats or other business rules.

-   Permitted Values -- disaggregated values for data elements.

The Char (characteristics) column in the XML format matrices accepts the
following codes:

**Table 3.1**-1: EDEN XML Format Codes

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Code**      **Characteristic**
  ------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
  M             Mandatory Element/Attribute

  O             Optional

  C             Conditionally Required

  MR            Mandatory and Repeatable Element

  OR            Optional and Repeatable Element

  CR            Conditional and Repeatable Element
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCY STATUS OBJECTS

In order to simplify the transmission process, the Local Education
Agency has been separated into three (3) distinct statuses and file
transmit XML objects. The XML status and file transmit objects are the
same structure regardless of the status information being transmitted.
The structure contains a node that defines the LEA that corresponds to
the submitted status. In addition, the structure contains nodes
representing characteristics (Race/Ethnicity, Disability Status (Only),
etc.) and the associated status value. The status objects are contained
within the file transmission objects that define the group of values
that is being submitted.

## Category XML Object

The category XML object is used to define the characteristics associated
with a status. There may be zero or one category defined for a status.
The XML object matrix is followed by an example of the object.

## File Transmit XML Object

The file transmit object identifies the group being transmitted. It also
identifies whether the group is at the State Agency, LEA or school
level. Further, each group has an allowable set of Table Types,
categories, and category values that correspond to a particular
reporting period. This section defines the various file transmit objects
and valid status combinations at the LEA level.

# SCHOOL STATUS OBJECTS

In order to simplify the transmission process, the School has been
separated into three (3) distinct statuses and file transmit XML
objects. The XML status and file transmit objects are the same structure
regardless of the status information being transmitted. The structure
contains a node that defines the school that corresponds to the
submitted status. In addition, the structure contains nodes representing
characteristics (Race/Ethnicity, Disability Status (Only), etc.) and the
associated status value. The status objects are contained within the
file transmission objects that define the group of values that is being
submitted.

## Category XML Object

The category XML object is used to define the characteristics associated
with a status. There may be zero or one category defined for a status.
The XML object matrix is followed by an example of the object.

## File Transmit XML Object

The file transmit object identifies the group being transmitted. It also
identifies whether the group is at the State Agency, LEA, or school
level. Further, each group has an allowable set of Table Types,
categories, and category values that correspond to a particular
reporting period. This section defines the various file transmit objects
and valid metric combinations at the school level.
