2006-2007 McKay Prepayment Verification Format
1. This format is used for the verification of eligibility of students who receive
McKay Scholarships - prior to the payment of the scholarship each quarter.
2. DATASET NAMES: The dataset names of the files produced by the
Department of Education are DPSxx.GQ.F70561.Yyyyys for payment 1 and
DPSxx.GQ.F70562.Yyyyys for payment 2 where ‘xx’ indicates the district
number, ‘yyyy’ indicates the school year and ‘s’ indicates the survey period (2
for October or 3 for February). The school district response to the pre-
payment verification uses file names DPSxx.GQ.F70571.Yyyyys for payment
1 and DPSxx.GQ.F70572.Yyyyys for payment 2 where ‘xx’ indicates the
district number, ‘yyyy’ indicates the school year and ‘s’ indicates the survey
period (2 for October or 3 for February).
3. ENTRY (RE-ENTRY) DATE and WITHDRAWAL DATE: The initial pre-
payment eligibility verification files will contain blanks in these date fields.
School districts will insert either an Entry (Re-entry) Date or a Withdrawal
Date (not both) and return the file to NWRDC under the appropriate file name.
All date fields should be in the MMDDYYYY format. The dates must be valid
dates greater than (after) May 1, 2000.
4. STUDENTS NEVER ENROLLED: For students never enrolled in the school
district all nines (99999999) should be entered in both the Entry (Re-entry)
Date and Withdrawal Date fields.
5. If any record was transmitted in error or needs to be revised, the current file at
North West Regional Data Center (NWRDC) must be deleted and an entire
new file must be re-submitted.
6. CONTACT INFORMATION: Questions regarding this data collection activity
should be directed to Harold McLeod, Program Specialist at Suncom 205-
0400, (850) 245-0400, or Harold.Mcleod@fldoe.org
