| Tips of the Month |
Reminder to set your Implementation Dates
We recommend setting the following defaults for IEP Implementations and Draft Load Dates. By setting the date defaults once, this will make data entry easier on CSE office staff, as the dates will automatically default and improve data accuracy for each student. The default dates may be changed if needed.
From Meeting Options
Default dates can be set for each IEP/504 implementation meeting type. The default dates set here will default for any new meetings, eliminating the need to enter the IEP implementation date for every student.
- To set the IEP/504 Implementation dates: from the student meeting screen, edit any student's meeting and then click the Options button. For each meeting type (Annual Review, New Referral, ...) select the appropriate option for the IEP Implementation date. For example, with spring reviews, the IEP Implementation date might be 'Start of Current School Year'. The implementation date will default to 09/2018 for all students, whereas, New Referral meeting might have an IEP Implementation date of Meeting Date + 1.
- This will update the implementation dates for all users.
From Draft Load Dates
Draft Load Date Defaults can be set for any meeting type and are used when loading teacher input from the draft IEP into a final status.
- To set draft load date defaults, this can be done individually or in mass from Control | Setup | Security - select the CSE office staff users or group and then click the User Options button and select 'Draft Load Options'. For each meeting type (Annual Review, Program Review, Re-evaluation, etc.), select the appropriate end dates and start dates. Note: We recommend using the Implementation date as the Start Date and Implementation date - 1 as the end date to ensure the correct data prints on the finalized IEP. Implementation date is the date when the IEP begins, so this should be the start date of goals, accommodations, etc. When done, click Save.
- The defaults will be assigned to all selected CSE office staff so that all users are using consistent draft load dates for each meeting and the CSE staff will not have to select dates when loading the draft information.
Calendar Maintenance
Before setting the default dates above, remember to set next year's calendar from Control | Setup | Calendar Maintenance and select the next school year. It is recommended to minimally set the
start 10 Month,
End 10 Month,
Start of Summer, and
End Summer. The start dates entered here will be used which will prevent start dates of 09/01/2018 and 06/30/2019.
Medicaid Cost Report Tip
- SED and ClearTrack continue to recommend entering sessions for all students, not just Medicaid-eligible students. This information can affect the Cost Report outcomes.
- Annual Contractor's Cost Information: This information is available in ClearTrack from the Contracted Practitioner's Report in Medicaid Reports. The report should be run for non-district personnel. This information can be updated in each individual provider's record from the Faculty/Staff table (District/Agency field) OR from the Medicaid Provider Maintenance screen in Medicaid Reports.
Note: If the Medicaid provider is NOT a district employee (this includes BOCES providers), the district/agency must be entered, so that non-district employees can be tracked for the Medicaid Cost Report - Contracted Practitioner report.
For further information or help setting up, contact your local support coordinator.
