Mark this checkbox if the event being created is a copy of a previous event and teachers should be required to resubmit verification data. You may want to delete the previous event if you've made a replacement copy.

Verification Period

The period for which staff members must certify their rosters.

If a School, Calendar, and Schedule Structure are selected above, you have the option of selecting a specific Term or range of terms. Term dates are included for reference. Otherwise, enter a Date Range.

For students or staff members who enter or leave the section during the verification period, verification Start and End Date will be adjusted in the teacher view to reflect the dates that the student or staff member was assigned to the section.

Roster Data Collection Unit

Describes how data is collected from teachers. For example, a district may record contact time in Minutes/Day or as a Percentage per Week. What these options means is defined by the state or entity collecting verification data.

For states using Roster Verification for state reporting purposes, options available in these dropdowns will likely be narrowed down to units expected by the state.

Collection Unit Tooltip for StaffThis tooltip displays for teachers when they are certifying their rosters. Use this tooltip to explain you district's instructions and expectations about how teachers should enter roster data. It is important that teachers receive instructions about how they should enter data as different districts and states may require data to be submitted differently.
Responsible Staff

Based on the sections determined by the School/Calendar/Schedule Structure and Course Ad hoc Filter selection, indicate which staff members in those sections should be responsible for certifying their rosters. Staff are determined by the type of record the staff member has on the section Staff History tool. Options include:

  • Primary Teacher - Includes only Primary teachers.
  • Teacher - Includes only non-Primary teachers.
  • Section Staff - Includes other section staff, other than Primary and other Teachers. 

Any combination of staff can be selected.

Report Event Data

State reports are the primary consumer of event data.

For districts linked to a State Edition of Campus, verification data is transferred to the state through DIS when each teacher certifies their roster.

Aside from state reports, districts can use Ad hoc Reporting to review verification data submitted by teachers. In the Filter Designer, create a Course/Section filter. Roster Verification fields can be found in Course > Section Information > Roster Verification. To create reports summing roster verification data entered by multiple staff members, use the Course > Section Information > Roster Verification Totals fields.
