Revised Annual Report System
We still have not received clearance from BIA to implement the Revised Annual Report system. The un-revised version is the one that is in-place right now. Data schools have entered already will be lost. We have asked BIE to take down the Annual Report web site to prevent schools from entering any further data into the old system. Please wait to enter data. As discussed at the Summer Institute, we will have more liberal timelines for data reporting.
