US ED OCR Report

These are instructions to assist the user in completing the US ED OCR Report using the JCampus program.

• Please note that information entered will only show for the user who entered the information. The data input is unique to the user's login. It is recommended that one user's login be used per district for completing this report. This only applies to the user-entered data (with red section headings). All of the computer generated data (with black section headings) is gathered and displayed when any user opens the program.

Accessing the US ED OCR Report Program

The US ED OCR Report can be found in (See Figure 1 below)

Figure 1 - JCampus Menu

Student Master → Interfaces → US ED OCR Report

Completing the US ED OCR Report Setup Box

Clicking on the US ED OCR Report will bring up the setup box as shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 - Setup Box

The Setup Box options are defined below:

Year: The Year defaults to 1718.

District - Default value is based on the user’s security settings. The user will be limited to their district only.

School - Default value is based on the user's security settings. If the user is assigned to a school, the school default value will be their school site code.

As of Date: The As of Date defaults to October 1, 2017 (recommended) but can be changed.

Use SIS School: Check this item if your district uses SIS schools for students.

When all of the Setup options have been completed, click on the OK button to open the US ED OCR Report program.

The US ED OCR Report program will assist the user with the following functions:

• Enter the LEA data (LEA = Local Education Agency) and Create the LEA export file.
• Enter the individual School data and Create the School export file(s).

Accessing the Form to Enter the LEA Data

• Click on the LEA tab (The LEA tab will turn white and the form will come up on the screen).

Accessing the Form to Enter a Specific School’s Data

• Make sure the Status tab is selected.
• On the Status form, select the school by:

Left-clicking in the "Edit" box (not the check box as it is for exporting only)

OR

Left-clicking anywhere in the school’s row to the RIGHT of the EDIT box.

In Figure 3 below, clicking anywhere in the red box will select school 002.

Figure 3 - Selecting a Specific School to Edit

NOTE: Once you click to select a school, depending on the enrollment, it may take a while for all the data to load. Be patient and do not continue to click on the school. Once the data has completed loading, the SCH tab will turn white and the tab will then read 002. The School Form will be on your screen ready for data entry.

School Identification Code - This 12 digit number has to be obtained from the Federal Agency and we as the vendor, do not have access to that information.

Data Types

• Program Generated Data: For the black section headings, JCampus will determine the information and fill in the data for you using the data generated by JCampus programs.
• User Entered Data: For the red section headings, the user will be responsible for gathering the data to be manually entered. YOU MUST SAVE USER ENTERED DATA PRIOR TO LEAVING THE FORM OR IT WILL BE LOST.
• Combination of Program Generated Data and User Entered Data: In some cases, the section will require both Program Generated data and User Entered Data. The program will do the necessary calculations to report the correct data in the export file. Please remember to SAVE!
• Non-Applicable Data: In some cases the sections will not be applicable to certain schools. For instance, if the school is an elementary school, then Advanced Placement (AP) data would not be applicable for that school. In that case, all of the AP sections will not be available for input to the user.
• Numeric Data: Make sure to read the directions that are included with each section. Commas are not allowed when inputting numeric data. The program will not allow users to input commas. In some cases, decimals will not be allowed and will not be entered even if the user hits the decimal key. For instance, if a user were to type in “3”, “.”, and “5”, the field will accept the 3 and the 5 but not the decimal. This will leave the 35 for the data and be grossly incorrect.

Run Audit Button

• At the end of each form (LEA and School) is an “OCR Form Close-Out” section (See Figure 4 below).
• On this form is a “Run Audit” button. Clicking this button will run an audit on the active form and produce a report listing all of the missing data. This audit can be run at any time and as many times as needed. It only takes a few seconds. Once completed, you have the option to print the form.

Status Form: Answered Column (See Figure 5 below)

• This column will be “Yes” if all of the required information has been entered on the specified form.
• This column will be “No” if all of the required information has not be entered of the specified form.
• Each time the user clicks the Save button, the program runs an audit and updates the status in the Answered column for that specific form.
• If the answer is “No”, you can run the Audit to determine what is missing.

Status Form: Completed Column (See Figure 5 below)

• The information in the Completed column is derived from the answer to the question on the OCR Form Close-Out section at the end of each LEA/School form.
• The user can answer the question “Yes” even if the Answered column shows a No. (see site 001 and site 004 below)

CAUTION WHEN CREATING EXPORT FILES

Opening the export files with "Excel" prior to submitting the files could alter the format for some of the data. Specifically, the School ID information will be changed. If you do open the file with Excel, DO NOT SAVE THE FILE.

Creating the LEA Export File

• Clicking on the Export LEA button will create the LEA export file

Creating the School(s) Export File(s) (See Figure 6 below)

• School export files may contain one school, multiple schools, or all schools.
• To include a school in an export file, the user must click on the associated "checkbox" on the Status tab screen. (See Figure 6 below)
• Once the files are checked to be included, click on the Export SCH button to build the file.
• The program will build one file that will include the data for each of the schools checked. It would be possible to build one file that would contain all of the school data. The user would then need to upload only two files, LEA and Schools.

Figure 6 - School Export Checked

Note: In Figure 6 above, clicking the Export SCH button would build one export file that would include school 001 and school 004 data.
