Open Doors Youth Reengagement Annual End of Year Report is OPEN for the 2018-19 school year!
The improvements to the application start with being able to download a template pre-populated with your students' demographic information directly from the application.
- Sort the students by unique program code if you have more than one program
- Send through your normal secure means for the program to complete the report with student outcomes
- Return, then Upload
The due date for districts to submit all youth reengagement data will be NOVEMBER 4, 2019.
This allows programs one month to submit data to the district and one month for districts to verify the data.
The reporting application is accessed through EDS and is listed in the application as "Youth Reengagement".
Here are links to support your reporting:

EDS Youth Reengagement Annual Reporting User Guide
Links are also embedded in the home page of the application below the list of CEDARS Administrators.
--> Remember, if student data is missing or inaccurate in the EDS application, you must fix the data in CEDARS and then wait overnight for the application to refresh with the updated information!
Data from these reports help us verify and support programs in a variety of ways:
- Verify types of program outcomes as compared to approvals
- Study frequency of types of IAPs
- Provide support for programs with few IAPs or credits
- Celebrate programs that have multiple IAP paths and credits - and graduates!
Now that we have four years of student level data, we can begin the work of establishing some norms and state averages for program types and student outcomes. It is important that we have data to help tell the story of the great work happening in our state around youth reengagement and the potential of Opportunity Youth. Further, we also use this data to inform our continued policy work on multiple pathways to graduation and to provide school improvement supports. Thank you!
