Kentucky Department of Education

This page is intended to help districts with the Data Standardization process and data clean up in the Student Information Systems (Infinite Campus and STI).

Data Standardization is the process of making all data of the same type or class conform to an established convention or procedure to ensure consistency and comparability across different databases.  This is especially important and necessary in a data warehouse environment that contains information from many sources.  Without data standardization, no relationship can be established between the various data sources to produce reports that include information from multiple data sets within the data warehouse.
 
As the Department responds to the reporting requirements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB), data from many sources, including Student Information System-SIS (Infinite Campus and STI), MUNIS and others must be utilized.  Specific data elements must be collected to insure that accurate information will be used for NCLB, and SIS.  Therefore, Data Standardization is necessary to maintain so that these programs will have correct and accurate information now and in the future.  This is achieved by setting standards on data collected by both the student  (Infinite Campus and STI). and financial (MUNIS) management systems.

Below is a series of documents to assist local districts in the data standardization process.  Please call Garnetta Barnette in the Systems Administration Branch at (502) 564-5279  or you may email her at garnetta.barnette@education.ky.gov.
