Title of Collection: Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX) Minimum Data Elements (MDEs).
OMB Control Number: 1810-0683.

Abstract: The Migrant Information Exchange (MSIX) is a nationwide electronic records exchange mechanism mandated under title I, part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). The Migrant Education Program (MEP) is authorized under sections 1301-1309 in title I, part C of the ESEA. MSIX and the minimum data elements (MDEs) are authorized under section 1308(b) of the ESEA, as amended. As a condition of receiving a grant of funds under the MEP, each State Educational Agency (SEA) is required to collect, maintain, and submit minimum health and education-related data to MSIX within established time-frames. Regulations CFR 34 200.85 for the MSIX issued by the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) have been in effect as of June 9, 2016. MSIX is designed to facilitate timely school enrollment, grade and course placement, accrual of secondary course credits and participation in the MEP for migratory children. The regulations help the Department determine accurate migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements.
The Department is requesting approval to for a revision of the 1810-0683 information collection that supports statutory requirements for data collection under title I, part C MEP.
The Office of Migrant Education (OME) would like specific feedback on the following additions to the MSIX MDEs:
[top] (1) the addition of family contact MDEs, including phone numbers and email addresses;
(2) the addition of new acceptable values beyond "Male" and "Female" for MDE #9 (Sex).
Please see the "MSIX Minimum Data Elements" attachment for details on the MDE additions and changes. There have been edits made to MDE #s-1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 20, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 52, 64, 72, and 74. New MDEs are #'s 77, 78, 79, 80, and 81.
OME has received feedback to include the "Qualifying Activity" MDE. At this time, OME has decided not to include the "Qualifying Activity" MDE because the MDE by itself does not provide additional information regarding the child's qualifying arrival date since it is connected to the worker, not the child, on the National Certificate of Eligibility (COE). OME is seeking specific feedback on the usefulness of this MDE for the States and why it should be included.
