ROSES - Registry of Special Education Students

Macomb Intermediate School District, in cooperation with its local districts, maintains a comprehensive data management system of all special education eligible individuals, ages birth-25. This Registry Of Special Education Students is familiarly known as ROSES.

Information is collected to meet state and federal pupil accounting requirements. This information also helps in the day-to-day management of special education programs and services.

• Development, revision and maintenance of the ROSES system.
• Staff training, both MISD and local districts, on procedures and requirements for the use and maintenance of this computerized system.
• Development and distribution of a "ROSES Help System" that includes specific information on the use and operation of the computer program.
• Collection of ROSES data from districts for submission to the State of Michigan Single Record Student Database or SRSD.

Districts that operate special education programs maintain the most current information about students with disabilities.

LOCAL DISTRICT data management efforts include:

• Adding or deleting students based on completed IEPTs.
• Making corrections and/or revisions in student records as programs and services are changed through the IEPT process.
• Preparing reports useful to administrative and instructional staff.
• Maintaining security at the district level of all ROSES data.
• Regularly backing up ROSES to prevent the loss or corruption of data.
• Submitting data on a regular basis to the MISD for pupil accounting purposes.
• Providing MISD with suggestions on improving ROSES to meet district needs.

Monitoring for Accuracy
As part of our Federal Count and Single Records Student Data submission responsibilities, the MISD error-checks all required Registry of Special Education Students items for completeness and accuracy.
