PATH: BIE Reports > BIE ISEP Instructional Verification Report
ISEP Verification & Certification is the Education Line Officer (ELO) process that verifies student eligibility. The ISEP Instructional Verification Report is used to certify instructional facilities separate from residential facilities. This report collects the required information for verification of student eligibility (e.g., demographics, instructional program enrollments, and residential program enrollments). Report information is used in calculating and distributing of ISEP funding.
ISEP Certification is a two-step process involving verification and certification of student information. The ISEP Verification Report is generated and printed, then evaluated by the school and ELO. As errors in the data are found and corrected in the District Edition, the Verification Report is re-run and reviewed again. The process of running the Verification Report, evaluating the student information, and correcting errors is repeated until the data is considered accurate. When the school and ELO confirm that the data is accurate in the Verification Report, the Certification Report (a formal roster) is run and the data is printed and signed by the ELO, school principal and the school board chairperson. Certification is the official endorsement of the roster (student list).

Report Logic
This report uses the following business logic:
- The BIE ISEP Instructional Verification Report can be run for any year to which the user has Calendar Rights.
- ISEP Instructional certification is based off the entire instructional calendar. The first day in the calendar marked as "Instruction" through the last day in the calendar marked "Instruction" (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Days > Days Detail > Instructional).
- The Verification Report can be run at the state and district level.
- All enrollment records with the BIE Exclude checkbox marked are not included on the report and excluded from all calculations.
- All enrollment records with the No Show checkbox marked are not included on the report and excluded from all calculations.
- All enrollment records not in a recognized BIE Grade of 01-12 will not be included on the report and excluded from all calculations. Users must ensure each grade level is appropriately tied to a BIE Grade Level Code (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Grade Levels > BIE Grade Level Code).
Eligibility Calculation
ISEP funding is distributed to schools and dormitories based on membership eligibility. If a student’s membership/enrollment meets all of the required eligibility criteria, that student’s record receives a status of Eligible. In cases where a record fails to meet one or more of the eligibility criteria, that record is listed as Non-Eligible. Each enrollment is analyzed individually to determine eligibility status; therefore, the same student may have enrollment records that appear under both sections.
Student enrollment records are considered eligible if they meet all of the following criteria:
- Enrolled in an Instructional program for the selected calendar (Calendar.calendarID matches enrollment.calendarID and calendar.type = I)
- Enrollment record has an Enrollment Type = 1: ISEP (System Administration > General > Enrollment > BIE Reporting > Enrollment Type).
- Student has a valid birth date.
- Student has a Tribal Code not null or 999: Non-Tribal Member (Student Information > Program Participation > NASIS Programs > NASIS ).
- Student is enrolled in a recognized BIE grade level of 01-12. The grade level should be mapped to a BIE Grade Mapping. If not, logic looks at the State and Local Grade level to determine if it matches a BIE Grade Mapping value.
- Student has a gender of Male or Female (Identity.gender = M or F).
- The student meets ISEP age requirements:
- Kindergarten: At least 5 years old by December 31 of the start year of the reporting calendar.
- First Grade: At least 6 years old by December 31 of the start year of the reporting calendar.
- Special Education student (with a Special Ed Status = 03: Receiving Services or 04: Terminated from Services), must be under 22 years old as of the first day of the student's enrollment for the reporting school year.
- Non-Special Education students must be under 21 years old as of the first day of the student's first enrollment record for the reporting school year.
- The student must meet the minimum percent enrolled (Student Information > General > Enrollments > BIE Reporting > Percent Enrolled):
- If student is in BIE grades KG or 7-12, Percent Enrolled must be equal to or greater than 50%.
- If student is in BIE grades 1-6, Percent Enrolled must equal 100%.
Student enrollment records are considered Non-eligible if they meet any of the following criteria:
Student enrollment records that fail to meet one or more of the following eligibility criteria will receive a status of Non-Eligible and will appear after all Eligible enrollments are listed. If a student has multiple enrollments, they may have non-eligible enrollments and an eligible enrollment. Students who do not have any eligible enrollments will report in the Non-Eligible section of the report will not be eligible for ISEP funding.
- Enrollment record has a Enrollment Type = null or any value other than 1: ISEP (System Administration > General > Enrollment > BIE Reporting > Enrollment Type).
- Student has a Tribal Code = null or 999: Non-Tribal Member.
- Student is in BIE grades KG or 7-12 with a Percent Enrolled less than 50%.
- Student is in BIE grades 1-6 with a Percent Enrolled less than 100%.
- Student is in Kindergarten and is less than 5 years old as of December 31st of the start year of the reporting calendar.
- Student is in First Grade and is less than 6 years old as of December 31st of the start year of the reporting calendar.
- Student is a Special Education student who is 22 years old or over as of the first day of the student's first enrollment in the reporting school year.
- Student is a non-Special Education student who is 21 years or older as of the first day of the student's first enrollment in the reporting school year.
Student enrollment records are considered Exceptions when any of the following data inconsistencies are identified:
Students are listed in the Exceptions section of the report when their eligibility or non-eligibility requires further investigation. Students who are listed with Exceptions will also be listed in the Eligible or Non-Eligible section of the report.
- The student is enrolled in more than one instructional program. (Exception Code: MultiCal)
- The student has enrollment records in different grade levels within the same calendar. In most cases, a student should not be enrolled in two different grade levels at the same time. If this exception is identified the enrollment records are flagged for further investigation by the school and ELO. (Exception Code: MultGrade)
Attendance Calculations
Only calendars meeting the following criteria will report data:
- Flagged as Instructional (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Type = Instruction).
- Does NOT have the Exclude checkbox marked (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Exclude).
Membership Days Calculation
The total number of days marked as Instruction during the student's enrollment period (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Days > Day Detail > Instruction).
- If a student's enrollment starts or stops during the first 10 day instructional days of the calendar, adjustment may be necessary. To determine the adjustment, you must look at the student's attendance.
- If the student was present for 5 or more of the first 10 instructional days, the student gets credit for the full 10 days. These adjustment days must be added on to the student's total membership count.
- If a student has more than 5 instructional days in membership over the first 10 days but less than 10, and there is another enrollment during those first 10 days, the sum of membership days between the two enrollments should not equal more than 10.
- If the student qualifies for the adjustment, the membership days of the most recent enrollment should be calculated as (10 - membership days of other enrollment) so that the total membership days during those first 10 days is equal to 10.
Instructional Days Calculation
The total number of days marked Instruction for the calendar being reported (System Administration > Calendar > Calendar > Calendar > Type = Instruction).
This number is not tied to the student's enrollment. This number should be the same for all students on the report. This number is displayed in the header and used for student ADM calculations.
ADM Calculation
Student membership days divided by total instructional days in the calendar multiplied by the student's percent enrolled. This number is rounded to two decimal places (#.##).
