Level 1 RIC/Big5 Contacts for LEAs

LEAs should direct questions to their district data coordinator.

LEA district data coordinators should direct questions to their Level 1 RIC/Big5. Contact information for Level 1 RIC/Big5 centers is found below.  If you are unsure of your Level 1 RIC/Big5, you may look up on the Level 1 Host-Child page

If necessary, the Level 1 RIC/Big5 will follow up with NYSED using Datasupport.
