Managing Information of Revenue Limits and Attendance Data (MIRADA) Training
The purpose of this bulletin is to notify you of the rollout of our new web-based tool “Managing Information of
Revenue Limits and Attendance Data,” or MIRADA. Effective this fiscal year 2012-13, District Business and Advisory
Services (DBAS) is rolling out the Attendance function of MIRADA for district use.
Technology Services Branch (TSB) and DBAS have been working diligently to develop MIRADA with the goal of
simplifying data flow & streamlining Attendance & Revenue Limit Reporting for our districts. Instead of filling out
Child Welfare Attendance (CWA) excel spreadsheets monthly and e-mailing them to DBAS staff, district staff will
input attendance data directly into http://mirada.sccoe.org. MIRADA compiles the data into monthly reports &
calculates average daily attendance (ADA) for period reporting purposes. Data is live & ADA is updated instantly
when monthly data is revised. In 2011-12, six districts participated in the pilot group to test MIRADA Attendance and
provided valuable feedback to make MIRADA user-friendly for our districts. For future use, DBAS and TSB are
working to generate the .dat file for state reporting purposes and eventually add the Revenue Limit Reporting
function.
District Business Advisor, Jenina Salcedo, will be training district attendance staff on navigating MIRADA & entering
data. Training will be held:
Wednesday, October 10, 9:00am (registration starts 8:30)
