0 STS: MLK separates guidance work into two
streams?Ms. Ringstaff owns the student files,
including lGPs. Ms. Ellison, as the data manager,
owns STS. At MLK, the files themselves are in good
shape. With regard to STS, only 4/19 applicable
students had the correct information entered into
STS. It appears that STS has not been updated for
the majority of students since the end of the first
semester last year. This means that current seniors
are effectively mid-yearjuniors in the eyes of STS.

This needs to be rectified as soon as possible.
