2020-2021 Special Education Room and Board Claims Moving to I-Star
Effective December 1, 2020, all 2020-2021 Special Education Room and Board claims will be submitted and/or adjusted in the IEP-Student Tracking and Reporting System (I-Star), the agency's web-based application for collection of all special education students and personnel approvals and claims for reimbursement. The Special Education Room and Board Claim IWAS system will be taken offline on Monday, November 16. Final 2019-2020 student claim and reimbursement reports will be accessible in I-Star from the Reports menu under the Residential Claims category, 'Residential Reimbursement Year to Date' report.
I-Star is located in IWAS under System Listing -> Special Education. Some district users that currently submit Room and Board claims will already have access to I-Star. In that instance, the permission role for Student Room and Board Approvals (read only) and Claims will be set automatically.
Users that do not currently have I-Star access should view the Harrisburg Project video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLwbwLDc80g. This training will provide a brief overview of how to operate the Room and Board functions from I-Star, as well as how to request access to the system.
If you have questions about I-Star access or operation, please contact Harrisburg Project at support@hbug.k12.il.us or (800) 635-5274.
