CORE Data Collaborative 2017-18 Timeline
Last updated 4.26.17 Subject to Change
General Data Processing Approach
Data are processed and measures are produced three times per week. Note that growth is the only exception. See the Data Loading and Results Reporting Timeline below for the production of the CORE Growth Measure. Here’s the schedule for non-growth measures:
Monday Load | Wednesday Load | Friday Load | |
Data leads load data by... | 4p PST on Monday | 4p PST on Wednesday | 4p PST on Friday |
VersiFit Kicks off the “build” by... | 5p PST on Monday | 5p PST on Wednesday | 5p PST on Friday |
Metric results and filechecker analytics available for preview on the development site by the data leads (https://insightsdev.coredistricts.org). | Wednesday 8a PST | Friday 8a PST | Monday 8a PST |
Deadline for data leads to alert VersiFit to hold the newly processed metric results from moving to production. | Wednesday at 3p PST | Friday at 3p PST | Monday at 3p PST |
Updated metric results and data move from the development site to production (http://insights.coredistricts.org) unless data leads tell VersiFit to hold the results back. | Wednesday evening | Friday evening | Monday evening |
Data Loading and Results Reporting Timeline
