        Discussion: 
Spent a Day with Dean Folkers and Ed Comber, a consult working on the Data Dashboard project.  Provided Demo of AAP site and SRS site for Dean and Ed.  Most of the discussion were centered around what types of data SRS and the AAP site collect and how that data might be connected to the large.  Operational Data Store (ODS) that NDE is developing.  We also talked about the possibility of pulling data into SRS via the State’s ODS system. This would offer enormous advantages to our users.  This could eliminate the need to enter student information into their local Student Information System AND SRS.  SRS could have the ability to incorporate educational data and reports from other systems into SRS documents.  There will be a meeting with all of the Rule 18 personnel on June 19th.  In addition to other Rule 18 related topics, SRS will be providing a demonstration of the AAP site and provide the users with an opportunity to give us some feedback on how the site is working for them.
