NYS Unique ID System
• Relies on a standard “student identification data set”
• Data is submitted through regional student data warehouses and ID is returned to the warehouse.
• Matching engine uses clues and rules to match students to existing ID
• Three choices:– Match
– New ID
– Near match
• Human review for less than 1%
Security and Confidentiality
• NYSED will not have access to any personally identifiable information. This information is available only to school districts.
