• Color Key Alignment for Graph and Table - The printed data packet included a color coding error. The color coding for the table rows has been corrected in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. The colors for each year align in the graph and table in this correction.

(Packet p. 15) Chronic Absenteeism 

• Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Group Size - The printed data packet included a data transfer error. The 2020-21 Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander student group denominator has been corrected in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. The corrected 2020-21 denominator is 219 for this group. 
• Percentage Rounding Errors - Based on experiences supporting strategic planning conversations across the nation, Performance Fact Inc. elected to use whole percentages when displaying outcomes for this indicator. Unfortunately, this decision resulted in several rounding errors within the printed data packet. These errors have been corrected in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. Corrections are as follows:
  • Top table
    • Hispanic or Latino: 2018-19 13%, 2020-21 10%, 2021-22 24%
  • Bottom table
    • Region 1: Multiracial 9%, English Language Learners 22%
    • Region 4 American Indian/Alaskan Native 16%, Hispanic or Latino 19%
• Region Data Table Label - The printed data packet included an error in the heading for the table at the bottom of page 15. This heading has been updated to indicate that this Region data is for SY 2022 only. This update can be found in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. The correction shows the Region data is for SY 2022 only. 

(Packet pp. 66-67) Advanced Academic Program (AAP) Participation 

• Students Experiencing Homelessness and Foster Care Omissions - Participation data for these two student groups was not ready at the time of publication for the printed packets in November. Data for these groups has now been added on pages 66-67 of the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. 

(Packet pp. 69-71) 8th Grade Students Taking Algebra I or Higher

• Students Experiencing Homelessness Group Outcomes - The printed data packet included a calculator error resulting in inaccurate division and region data for this student group. Corrections have been made in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. The corrections show updated values for all data points reported for students experiencing homelessness (% of all students taking at least 1 Algebra 1 course, % of students in each subgroup taking at least 1 Algebra 1 course, and denominator for students in this group taking at least 1 Algebra 1 course). 

(Packet pp. 73-75) Exclusion Days Rate

• 10-day Suspension Reporting - The printed data packet included an error in the key labels for the maroon portion of the Exclusion Days Rate bar graphs. The label has been corrected in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage. The corrected maroon label shows “More than 10 Days.” 
• Graph Percentages and Distribution - The printed data packet did not accurately show the distribution of cumulative days suspended for students within each student group. Corrections have been made in the revised Highlights of Student Achievement (Exhibit 2.A) data packet posted on the FCPS Strategic Planning - Data Reports webpage, and additions were made to the Strategic Plan - Data Glossary with information and examples to help understand the updated graph. Corrections are as follows:
  • The denominator (count of students suspended at some point in the year) was added to the graph label for each student group. 
  • Percentages and color bands within the graph were revised to show the distribution of total time out of school for suspended students from each group. 
  • Counts of suspended students whose total days out of school fall within each day range (numerator for graph percentages) were added in a new table at the bottom of page 75.
