Eagle Software strives to make your state testing and state and federal reporting as simple as possible. We regularly monitor state and federal website for new reporting requirements and updated file layouts. We also participate in CALPADS vendor-based calls and provide our input when necessary.
Below are a few reports that have been updated for this school year:
Civil Rights Data Collection– the Civil Rights Data Collection Options form was updated in October to meet the first CRDC reporting period. It has recently been fine-tuned, and the documentation has been updated. The CRDC has recently posted the official due date for submission as August 7th, 2015. The Civil Rights Data Collection encompasses many areas, some of which may not be stored in Aeries. We strongly encourage districts to begin working on the Civil Rights Data Collection as soon as possible.

While the State Seal of Biliteracy is still set as a Beta in Aeries, the program has been updated to meet the 2014-15 guidelines. A State Seal of Biliteracy document is now available.
