Human Resources Data Collection (HR)
The Human Resources collection contains all general education staff information as of the official staff count date. This information is used for school staff demographics, average salaries by position and education level, highly qualified status for teachers and paraprofessionals, turnover rates and educator effectiveness ratings.

Data Validation Resources
Data validation resources should be utilized prior to submitting initial files to CSI and throughout the collection to ensure data is comprehensive and accurate. Regularly using the data validation resources will reduce the number of updates needed at the end of the collection after receiving the Summary Report.

Staff Evaluation Resources
The Staff Evaluation Collection is designed to capture any Teachers, Specialized Service Providers, and Principals that were hired after the HR Collection. Also, it should record the Evaluation data of staff. Given CSI schools have all the appropriate waivers to zero-fill this data anyways, only the new staff and exits will be captured.
