# Purpose

This document contains instructions for building fixed and delimited
files to submit EDEN Data Group: Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Not
Assessed Table, ID# 491. The data collected through this file
specification is currently collected through Table 6 "Report of
Participation and Performance of Students with Disabilities on State
Assessments."

A separate document contains the XML file formats. General guidance for
constructing all EDEN file types may be found in the *Education Data
Exchange Network (EDEN)* *Workbook*.

## Changes from the 03--04 and 04--05 File Specifications

There have been significant changes to this file specification:

-   Changed definition from "eligible for" to "receiving" and from
    "unduplicated" to "duplicated."

-   Added Grade Level (Assessment) as a collected category

-   Added ENGL as Permitted Value for Academic Subject (Assessment).

-   Dropped grand total.

## Requirements for Submitting this Data Group

The data group is submitted at the following levels:

-   SEA

-   LEA

-   School

The following table indicates the valid combinations of categories and
the sub--totals and/or totals needed for this file. An "X" in the column
indicates that the column must be populated when reporting that
particular category. The total indicator must be either "Y" (Yes) or "N"
(No). If the record is for a detail count, specify an "N" (No). If the
record is for a subtotal or grand total, specify a "Y" (Yes).

# 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 Children with Disabilities
(IDEA) Not Assessed file submissions:

sslevCWDIDEANAvvvvvv.ext

Where:

> **ss** -- Two--character USPS State Abbreviation for the submitting
> SEA.
>
> **lev** -- Three--character abbreviation for the level submitted. Use:
>
> SEA for a State Education Agency Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Not
> Assessed submission
>
> LEA for a Local Education Agency Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Not
> Assessed submission
>
> SCH for a School Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Not Assessed
> submission
>
> **Filename** -- **CWDIDEANA** (no more than nine digits)
>
> **vvvvvvv** -- Up to seven--character alphanumeric string designated
> by the SEA to uniquely identify the individual submission (e.g.,
> ver0001, v010803).
>
> **.ext** -- Three--character file extension identifying the file
> format as follows:

.txt -- fixed format

.csv -- comma--delimited format

.tab -- tab--delimited format

**NOTE:** For additional information on file naming conventions, refer
to the *Educational Data Exchange Network (EDEN) Workbook*.

# Guidance for Submitting This File

This file collects the number of Children with Disabilities (IDEA) who
did not complete the state assessment requirements.

At the academic subject (assessment) level, the data is an unduplicated
number of Children who did not complete an assessment.

Four permitted value options are provided for the reading assessment:
English, Reading/Language Arts, Reading, and Language Arts. Each SEA
should use the most appropriate permitted value for the reading
assessment.

Records for the LEAs and Schools need only include those grade levels
offered at the LEA or School. In addition, records need to include only
the grade level in high school (9^th^ through 12^th^) that is assessed.

Fields that are defined as "Number" can contain values with leading
zeros or without leading zeros. Additionally, when submitting fixed
format files, "Number" fields can be either right or left justified.
This applies to the following fields:

-   "Total Records in File" in the Header

-   "File Record Number" in the Data Record

-   "Count" fields in the Data Record, i.e., Teacher Count, Student
    Count

# State Education Agency Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Not Assessed File

This section describes the fixed file and delimited file specifications
used to transmit information pertaining to the SEA Children with
Disabilities (IDEA) Not Assessed File. The file type is specified in the
header record.

## Header Record Definition

The header record is required and is the first record in every file
submitted to the EDEN Submission System. The purpose of the header
record is to provide information as to the file type, number of Data
Records in the file, file name, file identifier, and file reporting
period.

Section 4.3 contains examples of the header record.
