SIRS 107

The SIRS-107 Chronic Absenteeism Accountability Report allows districts and schools to view data they reported in the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) that will be used to determine Chronic Absenteeism at the elementary/middle level (grades 1-8 and ungraded age equivalent) and the secondary level (grades 9-12 and ungraded age equivalent). Chronic absenteeism is an accountability measure used to determine accountability status under New York State’s State Plan to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Students are considered chronically absent if they were enrolled for 10 or more instructional days, in attendance for at least one of those days, and absent (excused or unexcused) for 10% or more of their enrolled instructional days. 

This report does not need to be certified; however, it should be reviewed for accuracy. The underlying data used to create this report are in the SIRS-360 Attendance Absence Daily Summary, SIRS-361 Year-to-Date Attendance/Absenteeism, and SIRS-370 Day Calendar Summary reports. These reports are required to be certified.
