• 2010 implementation of Aeries Student Information System• We now have the ability to identify every student entering and
exiting the school district• As a result, we did the following:
– Met with all of the high school Principals and Assistant Principals (AP) to address the goal of graduation
– Shared the roles and responsibilities of the AP and Registrar– Provided professional development on proper State coding– Required each high school to provide evidence for all of their
exits and graduates– District office staff visited each school to verify their process– Reviewed all evidence at the district office

The Focus of
Today’s Presentation
• The way SAUSD monitors students’ entries and exits• The number of high school students who entered and
exited SAUSD from 2007-2010 • The categories and explanation for all exits:
graduates, non-graduates, and dropouts• The analysis SAUSD conducts in comparison to
CDE’s graduation calculations

Student C passes the GED or California High School Proficiency Exam.
