Long before the first bell of the school year, a quieter kind of back-to-school is underway at The Exchange. It's called rollover, the annual process of getting each Texas district and charter school ready to send a fresh year of student data to The Exchange. Behind that process is a team working hard to make sure every school starts the year on solid ground.
Rollover isn't glamorous, but it matters enormously. When a district's data flows correctly, it means the numbers that determine a district's resources for the entire year are right from day one. A smooth rollover in August prevents headaches, corrections, and funding surprises down the road.
That's why The Exchange team doesn't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every district connects a little differently, so the team built the season around that reality. ASCENDER districts follow one path, while districts on PowerSchool, Skyward, or pulling from the state's IODS follow another. There are even tailored tracks for districts that split their student and business systems across providers. Each group gets its own training sessions, scheduled at times that work for busy school staff. And when those training sessions wrap, office hours run all through September, because the team knows the real questions often come after you've rolled up your sleeves.
Woven through all of the rollover process is care for the details that protect students: every participating district signs a Data Privacy Agreement and names a technical administrator before any data moves. The Exchange gives every district and charter school the tools, the guidance, and the human support to begin the year with data they can trust.
