Secure Data Center Reports, Virtual Training Sessions

Review currently available data, register for upcoming webinars

The Secure Data Center (SDC) is an interactive tool that allows districts to review data well in advance of its finalization and the release of the annual Ohio School Report Cards. While the SDC serves as the primary resource for validating report card data, it is not the only tool available. Districts should also verify all relevant reports generated through EMIS.

The EMIS Validation and Report Explanations webpage provides explanations for current Level 1 and 2 reports, as well as a list of General Issues Reports that districts should use to validate data. Another resource for validating data for students that cross Local Education Agencies is the Ohio District Data Exchange (ODDEX).

Virtual training sessions available
