1. Introduction The purpose of this document is to guide the Consolidated Federal Data Collection (CFDC) user through the steps required to submit Supplemental Educational Services and Public School Choice (SES/Choice) student-level data, using online webforms, accessible by all who have Internet capability and proper login ID and password credentials. The data are entered in five steps, one school at a time: 1.) LEA data; 2.) students who applied for SES; 3.) students who received SES; 4.) students who applied for Choice; and 5.) students who transferred. It is strongly suggested that: a.) you enter the LEA-level data before you proceed to the school-level data for that LEA; b.) you enter the school SES applied students and providers for that LEA; and c.) you enter the Choice applied students and transfer from and to data for that LEA. After you have completed the data entry for all five steps, you will be able to review and make changes before finally committing the data to the system. After the data are committed, you will not be able to make any further changes, but you will be able to see summary reports of the data. If any changes need to be made after you have committed your data, contact the DPI Service Desk, which can be reached at 919-807-HELP(4357) or at dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov. In all of the screen shots used in this document, your user name (Login ID), role and LEA information will appear in the upper right corner. Sensitive or confidential information in all screen shots has been overlaid with blank red rectangles. Because the sensitive data have been hidden in the examples in this document, you will need to refer to your own screens and data for reference. Where you see the following image in the middle of your screen, you have additional flexibility:
To search for a given character string (e.g., last name) in the report at the bottom of the screen on which you see this image, type that character string in the search box to the right of the magnifying glass, click on the down arrow and select a column from the dropdown list of report column headings to be searched, and then click on the Go button to initiate the search. The report will then display only the rows in which that character string is found in the selected report column. You can select the number of report Rows you want to see displayed at one time by choosing that number (of rows) from the dropdown list; 15 is the default and All is the maximum. If you want to change the number of rows displayed (to 5, e.g.), do so by clicking on the number choice and then clicking on the Go button to change to number of rows displayed. Should the report retrieve more than the number of rows you wish displayed at one time (5), the numbers of the rows displayed (1 5) will appear at the bottom of the report along with the total rows retrieved (9) and with a right arrow button or a left arrow button for navigating through the entire report. Click on the right arrow button to go forward to the next page, or on the left arrow button, when it appears, to go back to the previous page, of the report. Example:
Version 1 Page 6 of 47 July 30, 2010
The Green Wheel/Gear is explained on page 43. You can sort the rows of the reports by clicking on the column heading (in the dark gray bar) by which you want the report data sorted. For example, click on the School Name column heading, choosing ascending or descending order. The resorted report will be automatically displayed.
If you erroneously enter data, error messages will appear in red next to the item in error or in a gray box at the top of the screen under the light blue bar. At any time, you can log out of the CFDC by clicking on Logout found at the far upper right of your screen. Doing so will take you back to the original Login Screen. But remember to SAVE any data you have entered.

2. Important Notes Regarding the Collection a. The information you will be able to enter, retrieve and report is dependent on your login. You will be able to view only information for your LEA/district or Charter school. b. It is highly recommended that once you gain access to the collection tool, you read this User Guide. Doing so will facilitate your understanding of the system and your data entry and will reduce the number of calls and emails to the DPI Service Desk, which can be reached at 919-807-HELP(4357) or at dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov. c. The Economically Disadvantaged (ED) Membership Roster, formerly known as Free & Reduced Lunch (FRL), was used to create the SES-eligible roster. This roster is submitted by LEAs to the DPI Accountability Department. d. All students on the ED roster are eligible for SES. However, the school must also be implementing this parent option as a result of being in Title I school improvement, corrective action or restructuring. e. All students in Title I schools are eligible for Public School Choice (transfer), provided the school is implementing this parent option as a result of being in Title I school improvement, corrective action or restructuring. f. For a student to apply for, and receive, SES or a transfer under Public School Choice depends on whether the school is receiving funds as a result of being in Title I school improvement, corrective action or restructuring. SES and Public School Choice sanctions do NOT apply to non-Title I schools. g. The LEA page/screen provides school summaries for each sanctioned school, which contains aggregate numbers. h. On the data entry screens you will see a red asterisk (*) next to some fields, indicating that data for those fields is required and cannot be omitted. i. Make sure that, as you navigate through the system, the correct school year is always selected.

COLLECTIONS SES Applied Students to be Selected from NC Wise Roster Notice that the system has defaulted to the Reports tab and the NCWISE Roster link to find the students in the Isaac Dickson Elementary school whom we want to be added. This screen shows students enrolled, for the selected School Year, in the selected school, Isaac Dickson Elementary, who have also been reported in the ED roster for this specific school. If a student cannot be found, contact your NC Wise coordinator to check school enrollment in NC Wise and your testing coordinator to check on ED status and reporting to DPI. You can choose the Enrollment Status for which you wish to see students listed by clicking on the appropriate radio button: All for both currently and non-currently enrolled students; Not Current for non-currently enrolled students; or Current for currently enrolled students. In this example we have selected All. Go to the report in the lower half of the screen and, clicking on the corresponding checkboxes in the left-hand Select column, select the students you want added to the SES Applied Student list (previous screen). Notice that in this example, three have been selected.

July 30, 2010
COLLECTIONS Choice Applied Students to be Selected from NC Wise Roster Notice that we have defaulted to the Reports tab and the NCWISE Roster link to find the students in the Isaac Dickson Elementary school whom we want to be added. If the school being displayed in the NC Wise roster implemented Choice, the roster will include all students enrolled at that school. If the school did not implement Choice, the roster will display students who transferred to that school from a school in improvement. The (from) School for which we are adding Choice Applied students is displayed, as selected in the previous screen. For the selected School Year, you can choose the Enrollment Status for which you wish to see students listed by clicking on the appropriate radio button: All for students currently enrolled, as well as students not currently enrolled, in this school; Not Current for students not currently enrolled in this school; or Current for students who are currently enrolled in this school. In this example we have selected All. If you scroll right on the screen, you will see the report columns Enrollment Status, which includes both currently (C) and non-currently (NC) enrolled students, and Gender.
Go to the report (in the lower half of the screen) and search for students who applied for Choice. Click on the search box down arrow and choose a column heading name ( Last Name, e.g.) in which you want to search, type that search character string (Smith, e.g.) in the search box and click on the Go button to initiate the search. All the records in all the rosters in which the character string was found will appear in the report. If a student cannot be found in the from school (Isaac Dickson Elementary) roster, you need to search for him in other school rosters. Since he may have already been transferred to the Transferred to School (Hall Fletcher Elementary), change the from School (Isaac Dickson) to the to school (Hall Fletcher Elementary) in the school dropdown box above the Add Choice Applied Student button and look in that schools roster. If he cannot be found there, change the from school selection to All. If a student cannot be found, contact the DPI Service Desk, which can be reached at 919-807-HELP(4357) or at dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov. You can then select the student record for which you searched by clicking on the Select checkbox for that record. Click on the Add Choice Applied/Transferred Student(s) button. If All is selected as the school, you will not see the Add Choice Applied/Transferred Student(s) button. Select the school where the student was found to see the Add Choice Applied/Transferred Student(s) button. The student record will disappear from this screen and will be added to the roster for Isaac Dickson Elementary (previous screen).

COLLECTIONS Choice Applied Students Selected and Added, to be Transferred Click on the Collection tab, SES/Choice link, Choice Applied Students link. You can see that the four students selected from the previous (NCWise Roster) screen (page 28) have been added to the Choice Applied Students list. If you scroll to the right of the screen, you will see that the report column Transferred to School may have blank values. Students that were found it their home school will not have a Transferred to School assigned. Students found in another school will have the school where they were found assigned by default as the Transferred to School. If Transferred to School is blank and the student did transfer, select the student by checking the box in the Select column for the student(s) who transferred to the Transferred to School, select the Transferred to School from the dropdown list of schools (not in improvement), located above the
search box, and then click on the Set Transferred to School button. The checkmarks in the Select column will disappear and the Transferred to School for those students will appear in the report. If, for some reason, the transferred to school that was found and applied to some students is incorrect, check the Select checkbox for those students, select the school to which students transferred or select None if students didnt transfer from the Transferred to School dropdown list and click on the Add Choice Applied Student(s) button. The Transferred to School (Hall Fletcher) will be replaced or removed for the selected students. Repeat this process for each child until all transferred students have been accounted for. If the list of Transferred to Schools is inaccurate, please contact the DPI service desk at 919-807HELP(4357) or at dpi.incidents@its.nc.gov. To delete any of the students from the list and return it to the NC Wise Roster, click on the Select column checkbox and then on the Delete button above the report.
