About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the Florida Department of Education's Division of Technology and Innovation, specifically BEC RFI 2026-17 Appendix A, which details data sources, external data transmissions, system security roles, and standard reporting requirements for the Versa system. The document provides a comprehensive overview of external data interfaces, including inputs and outputs from various agencies such as the NIC (credit/debit card payments), NASDTEC Clearinghouse (professional misconduct alerts), FASTER (transcript data), Agency for Health Care Administration (criminal history summaries), Department of Revenue (child support files), and others. The Versa System Data Flow Diagram illustrates the interconnections between these data sources and the Florida Department of Education's certification and licensing processes.

The document outlines multiple standard reporting efforts with specific monthly and annual requirements, including the BEC Annual Revenue Report in July, biannual PERA-Staff file amendments, Long Range Program Plan (LRPP) data reporting in September, Title II Teaching Credentials reporting, Critical Teacher Shortage reporting, and an Annual Certificate Counts report in June. These reports involve detailed data extraction and analysis of educator certification information, including license types, ranks, status, original license dates, renewals, and various statistical breakdowns. The system includes multiple user roles with varying access levels, such as Staff, Admin, and User roles in Versa Online, and specialized Data Correction Module roles that enable specific administrative functions like manual fingerprint entry, institution code creation, and application reopening.
