Abstract	GENESYS is the GENeric Evaluation SYStem of the Office of Research and Evaluation, Austin (Texas) Independent School District. It is a method of streamlining data collection and evaluation for a variety of projects. GENESYS gathers data from the school system's data bases and reports the following information (characteristics and outcomes) on specified groups of students: (1) student characteristics; (2) achievement; (3) attendance; (4) discipline; (5) grades and credits; (6) dropouts; and (7) retainees. Generally, GENESYS can be run any time after first-semester records are tallied for the current year. Computer programs using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS) have been written and linked to generate standard output on several variables for specific programs. GENESYS can be run for any group identifiable through a computer file. Most of the groups included in the first year were for students served in 1988-89; some were follow-ups of groups served in 1987-88. Overall, 25 programs and 130 subgroups at the elementary, secondary, and kindergarten through grade 12 levels were run through GENESYS in the spring of 1989. Three of the school district programs--Teach and Reach, Kealing Magnet Program, and Liberal Arts Academy--are described in this paper as examples of reports generated by GENESYS. Nine figures detail GENESYS groups and illustrate the three programs evaluated. (SLD)
