When running a District Match, a file is sent from the state to the District. Once the file is imported, the District has the option of choosing a Strict 3-point, 2-point "Name +", or 12-point match (Name, SSN, DOB) to designate a student for Direct Certification. Check with your District if you are unsure which match point option you should run. |
