Secure Data Center reports, virtual training sessions

4/8/2025

Review currently available data, register for upcoming webinars

The Secure Data Center (SDC) is an interactive tool that allows districts to review data well in advance of its finalization and the release of the annual Ohio School Report Cards. While the SDC serves as the primary resource for validating report card data, it is not the only tool available. Districts should also verify all relevant reports generated through EMIS.

The EMIS Validation and Report Explanations webpage provides explanations for current Level 1 and 2 reports, as well as a list of General Issues Reports that districts should use to validate data. Another resource for validating data for students that cross Local Education Agencies is the Ohio District Data Exchange (ODDEX).

Virtual training sessions available

SDC: The Basics – This session will introduce the SDC and offer best practices for using SDC reports. While primarily designed for new users, individuals at all experience levels involved in submitting and reviewing EMIS data may find this session beneficial.

SDC: Deeper Dive – This session explores how to integrate the SDC tool into the broader concept of data literacy, helping participants uncover valuable data insights. It is intended for users who are familiar with the basics and wish to delve deeper into the available reports.

SDC updates for April 3
