KIDS and SSIDs Overview

Kansas Individual Data on Students (KIDS) Student-level data collection Implemented in 2005-2006 school year Assigns unique state student ID (SSID) to each P-12

child Maintains longitudinal data regarding each student Is the “master” of student’s demographic information Tracks students as they move from school to school

and over time


KIDS and SSIDs Overview KIDS consist of two systems: Assignment and Collection

Assignment—creates SSIDs and maintains “core student data”• Direct access to KIDS Assignment is available• Multi-district access is NOT available—a separate login is required

for each district• Batch files are sent to obtain SSIDs for children

Collection—maintains the remainder of the child’s data• Districts submit data via KIDS Collection multiple times throughout

the school year• Multi-district access is available but requires authorization from

each superintendent of each district• ASGT records are submitted to generate SSIDs



State Student Identification Numbers 10-digit number assigned to each child that is

involved with an educational entity in Kansas Remains with the child throughout the child’s

educational experience The SSID is never recycled The child is tracked by the SSID as he/she moves in

and out of districts and the state



Foundations for School Success—SSIDs can be created within Foundations for School Success

Each PAT Coordinator should work with the district(s) to determine the best method for generating SSIDs for PAT participants KIDS Assignment System KIDS Collection System (ASGT records) Foundations for School Success (District/Org
