Overview

Level Data State Validation is a PowerSchool-embedded data-quality service that identifies missing, inconsistent, or noncompliant student information before districts submit it to state reporting systems. It applies state-specific and district-defined business rules directly within the SIS so staff can find problems during ordinary data work rather than waiting for a rejected submission.

The service presents groups of affected records through PowerSchool screens and supports guided, bulk correction where appropriate. Level Data maintains rule libraries as state requirements change, while RealTime Validation can flag errors at the point of entry. The result is a continuous data-quality process shared among registrars, attendance staff, program teams, and district reporting personnel.

Features
Real-time validation
  • Checks configured fields and records as staff enter or edit information in PowerSchool.
  • Surfaces likely errors early enough to prevent them from accumulating before a reporting deadline.
State reporting rules
  • Applies rule libraries based on state submission requirements and Level Data's supported PowerSchool implementations.
  • Updates shared rules as reporting definitions and validation requirements change.
Guided correction
  • Summarizes records that violate a rule and lets authorized users move from the issue to the affected SIS information.
  • Supports correction of multiple records where the validation and PowerSchool workflow permit it.
District governance
  • Allows additional district-defined rules for local data standards and recurring operational checks.
  • Provides dashboards and reports that help leaders monitor unresolved issues and data-quality workload.

The Level Data State Validation Service provides a series of validation rules accessible to users via a custom screen within PowerSchool. The service is designed to help the users proactively correct state reporting errors PRIOR to submission, breaking the cycle of submit, reject, fix, repeat. They embed the service within PowerSchool. This method provides faster correction capabilities than the conventional processes where users have to access individual records to make corrections. Level Data’s solution allows users to correct multiple records concurrently that are in violation of any particular state validation rules.
 
 Level Data will use the documentation from your state’s Department of Education data submission handbooks to aid in business rule development. Each individual state will receive a robust set of business rules that can be applied to all of the districts. With input from the client districts (and representation from your DOE), this rule library will continue to expand and evolve. Ongoing enhancements to the business rule library will be included in the annual service fees. As an added benefit, districts will be able to purchase custom validation rules uniquely tailored to their district, at an additional fee.
 
 Total installation time is approximately five minutes. The customization can be installed using Plug-In Management or web-root. Once your server is registered, all business rule and support updates are applied automatically. In fact, whenever they make changes, EVERY district that has the service installed will have the updates applied automatically. There is no need to wait for a nighttime process or rebooting the server or even logging out and back in again. The changes are reflected the next time the screen is refreshed, making it very easy for deployment throughout the state.
