Elementary/Secondary School Register, School Year 2018-2019. Revised

The Vermont School Register is a student record-keeping document required by Vermont Statute. The purpose of the Vermont School Register is to document each Vermont school's continuous year-to-year cycle of enrolling students, to record daily attendance, to report dropouts and graduates, and to report year-end attendance to the Agency of education. It is the source document for calculating Average Daily Membership, which is a critical aspect in the state funding system. Beginning in 2018 the mechanism for transferring this information to the Agency of Education will be the Statewide Longitudinal Data System (VT SLDS), which will collect data throughout the school year. Each school must keep an enrollment record of the students who enroll, transfer, withdraw, and drop out of the required program of instruction. Each school must also keep a daily record of attendance, excused absences, and unexcused absences of each enrolled student. Beginning in the 2013-2014 school year the Vermont School Register must include course offerings along with educators teaching courses. [For the 2017-2018 edition of this report, see ED591998.]
