This document provides technical instructions for building files that
can be submitted through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN).
This document is used in coordination with the ED*Facts* Workbook,
ED*Facts* Business Rules Guide and the EDEN Submission System User
Guide.

EDEN is a centralized, coordinated repository of state reported, K
through 12, educational data residing at the U.S. Department of
Education. The EDEN Submission System is an electronic system that
facilitates the efficient and timely transmission of data from SEAs to
the U.S. Department of Education.

# PURPOSE

This document contains instructions for building fixed and delimited
files to submit ED*Facts* Data Group: Neglected or Delinquent (N or D)
Academic Outcomes Tables (State Agencies) (Long Term), ID# 628. The
definition for this data group is in the row "Table Name" in Table
4.2--1.

The data in this file specification is currently collected in the
Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR), Part II which is
legislatively supported by Sections 9302 and 9303 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act
(NCLB).

A separate document contains the 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 was a change to this file specification that resulted in changes
to the record layout.

-   This data group was split. Previously this data group collected both
    the total students who were served 90 days AND those who were served
    90 days who took both pre- and post-tests. Now this data group
    collects only data on those who were served 90 days and who took
    both the pre- and post-tests. As a result, the category sets for
    this data group were changed.

## Requirements for Submitting this Data Group

The data group is submitted at the following level:

-   State

The following table indicates the valid combinations of categories and
the subtotals 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 "N" (No) because no
subtotals or grand totals are required for this file.

# GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILE

This file specification is used to collect the number of long-term
students served by\
Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 who took both a pre- and post-test. Long-term
is defined as students who were enrolled for at least 90 consecutive
calendar days from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.

Additional guidance is below:

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

The reporting period for this file is July 1 through June 30.

**Which students should be included in this file?**

Report any student who was served by a state agency that is a Title I,
Part D, Subpart 1 subgrantee.

**Is the Student Count unduplicated?**

Each student should be count only once per academic subject, regardless
of multiple stays within the same facility. If a student is in more than
one N or D program, the student is counted in each of the facilities.
However, for each academic subject and N or D program, the data should
be unduplicated.

**What should I do if a student was tested multiple times for the same
subject?**

Report only information on a student's most recent testing data that was
collected during a long-term stay.

**What if my state has zero counts?**

Zero counts must be included for the detail in the category sets.

**What if my state has missing data**?

Submit the data when the data are available. Note in your state's
submission plan if the data for the category set are determined not to
be available to submit.

**What if my state cannot differentiate between Juvenile Detention and
Juvenile Correction programs?**

For purposes of this file, Juvenile Detention and Juvenile Correction
should **be combined** into **Juvenile Correction** under the Neglected
or Delinquent Program Type category.

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

This file specification collects data on youths who were in programs for
90 days or longer and took a pre- and post-test. It is a subset of
N/X135 which collects data on all Neglected, Delinquent or at risk youth
who were served for at least 90 days. N/X119 collects information on all
Neglected, Delinquent, or at-risk youth served by Title I Part D,
Subpart 1 program. More information on the relationship between these
files can be found in the SY 2007-08 ED*Facts* Workbook.

## Definitions

Use the following definitions for the data in this file:

**Neglected Programs**

An institution for neglected children and youth is a public or private
residential facility, other than a foster home, that is operated
primarily for the care of children who have been committed to the
institution or voluntarily placed under applicable State law due to
abandonment, neglect, or death of their parents or guardians.

**Juvenile Detention Facilities**

Detention facilities are shorter term institutions that provide care to
children who require secure custody pending court adjudication, court
disposition, or execution of a court order, or care to children after
commitment. In this section, the count of Juvenile Detention Facilities
should be combined with Juvenile Corrections in the Juvenile Corrections
category.

**Juvenile Corrections**

An institution for delinquent children and youth is a public or private
residential facility other than a foster home that is operated for the
care of children and youth who have been adjudicated delinquent or in
need of supervision. Include any programs serving adjudicated youth
(including non-secure facilities and group homes) in this category. This
count of Juvenile Corrections can include Juvenile Detention Facilities.
In this section, the count of Juvenile Corrections may also include
Juvenile Detention Facilities.

**Adult Corrections**

An adult correctional institution is a facility in which persons,
including persons age 21 and under, are confined as a result of
conviction for a criminal offense.

**Other Programs**

Any other programs, not defined above, which receive Title I, Part D
funds and serve [non-adjudicated]{.underline} children and youth.

# 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 Neglected or Delinquent
Academic Outcomes file submissions:

sslev**ACDOCMSEA**vvvvvvv.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 Neglected or Delinquent Academic
> Outcomes submission
>
> **Filename** = **ACDOCMSEA** (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).
>
> **.ext** = Three--character file extension identifying the file format
> as follows:

.txt -- fixed format

.csv -- comma--delimited format

.tab -- tab--delimited format

## Population Status

The "Pop" column in the header and data records is coded as follows:

> M -- Mandatory, this field must always be populated
>
> A -- This field is populated in accordance with table 1.2--1
>
> O -- Optional, data in this field is optional

# SEA NEGLECTED OR DELINQUENT ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FILE

This section describes the fixed file and delimited file specifications
used to transmit information pertaining to the SEA Neglected or
Delinquent Academic Outcomes 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.
