Full Academic Year Updates
Improvement
Alongside the new updates to the tracker - we have completely overhauled full academic year status for students. Now when you view your data tracker, you have enhanced filtering for full academic year status! At a click of a button, you can see all students who do not meet full academic year status - or vice versa - you can see all students who do meet full academic year status. In addition, starting this year, students who do not meet full academic year status will not be counted in your projected accountability rating (district and schools only).

This update also squashed a few bugs hiding throughout Equity Analytics.

Automatic Sign Out After 10 Minutes
Improvement
Equity Analytics takes data security seriously. After 10 minutes of inactivity - you will be redirected to the log-in page. This is to prevent any unwanted actors from gaining access to personal identifiable information (PII) without proper authentication into Equity Analytics.
Missing SLAIF Scores
Update
Good news! Districts and schools are able to view all students without prior year SLAIF scores. SLAIF stands for "student level accountability information file" - this is the file that is released each school year by the Mississippi Department of Education. When a student does not have a SLAIF score - they are not counted in the growth component.
Now, when viewing your assessment results all district and school users can choose the "MAAP Missing SLAIF Scores" score filter. This score filter provides you a list of students with missing SLAIF scores. These students can be exported in CSV and PDF.

For each assessment administration, each district, school, and teacher will get a participation rate assigned starting with the 2021 - 2022 school year.
