NE NSSRS Report

NSSRS stands for the Nebraska Student and Staff Record System. It is Nebraska’s primary longitudinal data system for collecting and reporting student and staff information from Nebraska public schools to support state and federal educational reporting requirements. It is administered by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) as part of the state’s Statewide Longitudinal Data System (SLDS).

Staff Reporting is a required data submission in the Nebraska Student and Staff Record System (NSSRS) that collects staff-level data from public, nonpublic, ESU, special-purpose, and Rule 18 interim-program schools. This reporting supports state and federal reporting, compliance with Nebraska statute, and internal data quality processes.

Purpose

• To provide the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) with complete and current information about district/system staff.

• To support state education policy, staffing data analysis, and federal reporting requirements.

• To ensure accurate longitudinal staff records are maintained alongside student data within the NSSRS framework.

Staff Data

Staff Reporting includes two major data components:

Staff Demographics

This dataset contains information on personal and professional staff.

Staff Position Assignments

This dataset describes how staff are assigned within schools/districts. Staff may have multiple position assignment records if they serve in different roles or at multiple locations.

Position Control

When Position Control is enabled, the NE NSSRS Report uses the Position History table as the source for position assignment data, enables the Lock functionality to preserve assignment records across data loads, and provides more granular control over position tracking. When Position Control is disabled, the report uses the Assignment table, and Lock functionality is unavailable.

For more information about Position Control, refer to Position Control.
