In some cases, it is necessary for a student’s current district to contact the previous district.

For example, if you’ve '''[https://youtu.be/gnvC3DRTEVk added a new student]''' to your district but the ''error code F-084 code'' (pictured below) populates onto the approval record, ''two active records'' in I-Star have overlapping dates.
[[File:Harrisburg123.png|none|thumb|779x779px]]

Your error code will specify which district is responsible for overlapping with your record. Additionally, the other district will receive the '''same error code,''' but with your district information.

Once you know which district '''you must contact''' to correct errors, hover over the ''Reports'' tab at the top of the landing page and select the ''‘Site Pupil Contact’'' for individuals responsible for student data reporting.
[[File:Site pupil contact1.png|none|thumb|721x721px]]

[[File:Search harrisburg.png|none|thumb|423x423px]]

The search filters will highlight the district in '''blue'''.
[[File:Cusd3.png|none|thumb|480x480px]]

The person responsible for handling the student data entry will populate in '''bold''' above the district(s) that they manage.

Note: If data is managed by a ''cooperative'' and not a standalone district, the contact’s name will be displayed above all districts that they manage along with the ''telephone number'' and ''email address''.

From the '''Approval and Claims''' drop down menu, select '''Student''' and '''Approvals'''.
[[File:SIS Enrollment.png|none|thumb|514x514px]]

[https://youtu.be/qGk-oI-dKcc Search for a student] by using any of the available filters (SIS #, Last Name, First Name, School Year, Status, Grade, Term, Resident School, Serving District, Serving School, Disability, Fund Code, Class Teacher, Class Name, and/or Event.

Click '''Search'''.
[[File:Click search.png|none|thumb|725x725px]]

''Select'' the approval record for which you are searching for by '''clicking on the student’s name'''.
[[File:Selecting approvals.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

If the student’s record in I-Star contains a SIS-related error code such as the one pictured below, you must ''compare the student’s enrollment between SIS & I-Star''.
[[File:Sis related error code.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Note: Click [https://www.hbug.k12.il.us/resources/Training/Commonly_Questioned_I-Star_Errors_Descriptions.pdf HERE] to see '''Commonly Questioned I-Star Error Codes/Descriptions.'''

For a ''quick glance'' at the SIS enrollment details, click the '''[https://youtu.be/_-GfTkg2S7A Display/Update SIS Enrollment]''' button inside the student’s approval.
[[File:Display and update sis.png|none|thumb|500x500px]]

If clicking the button yields '''no data''' and only the '''Hide SIS Enrollment box''' is visible, SIS has ''not yet created an enrollment for this student.''
[[File:Hide sis enrollment button.png|none|thumb|639x639px]]

If SIS ''has not created an enrollment'' for a student, but an ''I-Star approval record exists'', I-Star will generate a '''fatal error''':
[[File:Fatal error for sis.png|none|thumb|435x435px]]

If clicking the button yields ''SIS enrollment details'', '''all enrollments''' for the current year will pull into the space as shown below.
[[File:Enrollments.png|none|thumb|786x786px]]

If the I-Star approval record shows '''SIS-related errors''' like the errors listed below, discrepancies between ''RCDT codes'', ''begin/end dates'' & ''enrollments'' can be found by viewing all information in the ''Display/Update SIS Enrollment Box''.

If a student attends a '''Private Day''', '''Residential Facility''' and/or '''Out-of-State Public School''', that student is coded as a Fund Code B as defined in the Students with Disabilities Data Collection & Approval Instruction manual as follows:
[[File:Fund b definition.png|none|thumb|782x782px]]

There are '''two ways''' to access the details of the ''private facility that the student is attending''.

To '''locate private facility details from the student approval record''', hover over the ''Approvals & Claims'' ''tab'', ''Student'' & then ''Approvals''.
[[File:Search page.png|none|thumb|624x624px]]

On the approval search page, select '''B''' from the ''Fund dropdown'' and click search.
[[File:Fund b dropdown.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Click on the student approval that you wish to view
[[File:Student approval fund b.png|none|thumb|773x773px]]

Once the student approval record opens, locate the ''Private Facility'' dropdown and click on the '''''(Details)''''' link.
[[File:Details.png|none|thumb|699x699px]]

'''Details for the Private Facility''' that is currently selected will populate onto a new browser tab.

There are '''6''' sections that populate for a private facility:

1. '''Name/Contact Information''': This section contains contact information for the facility and administrator, RCDTS code, Facility # & address.
[[File:Contact information private facility.png|none|thumb|566x566px]]

2. '''Program Information''': This section contains information for the disabilities the school can serve, age ranges for eligible students as well as information to the school/program. ''*Ages and/or disabilities that are not included in this section will generate errors on the I-Star approval record.''

[[File:Program information.png|none|thumb|899x899px]]

3. '''Rate Information''': This section contains the facility’s fiscal year dates (begin and end dates), total number of days in the school year, and the per diem, or daily rate, for one student who attends the facility. ''*Per diem rates are not always available at the very start of the new fiscal year. If the facility has not yet been approved for the new year, the per diem may show a place holder of $1 until the private facility renewal process is complete.''
[[File:Rate information.png|none|thumb|835x835px]]

4. '''Calendar Information''': This section contains information specific to ''the private facility calendar''. Both ''regular term'' and ''summer term'' begin and ends dates are listed in this section.

You can access the '''''Electronic Calendar''''' for this facility by clicking on the link in the Calendar Information section. Also available is the option to print.
[[File:Calendar information.png|none|thumb|866x866px]]
[[File:Calendar information 2.png|none|thumb|665x665px]]

5. '''Associated Programs:''' This section contains information for other programs. These programs/facilities ''are managed by the same Operating Agency''.
[[File:Associated programs.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

When selecting the correct private facility, be aware that some facilities have the option to select a '''facility with the regular rate or an intensive rate'''. Intensive rates are labeled with ‘Int’.
[[File:Facility code.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Below is an example of a private facility’s '''regular rate''' for tuition:
[[File:Regular rate.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Below is an example of the private facility’s '''intensive rate''' for tuition:
[[File:Intensive rate.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

It is important to select the correct facility number, as this will impact claims for the district’s '''Fund B''' records upon claim submission.

6. '''ISBE Review Information:''' This section contains information on the '''private facility renewal process'''. If the private facility has been approved by ISBE for the current fiscal year, ''contact information for the ISBE representative and the date the facility was approved will be available to view''.
[[File:ISBE review.png|none|thumb|1139x1139px]]

The alternate way to access the details of the ''private facility that the student is attending'' is to click on the '''Facility Search button''' at the top of I-Star’s main page.
[[File:Facility search.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Enter in the ''Program Code'' of that facility you wish to view details for or '''search for the facility using any of the available filters'''. Click Search.
[[File:Program code pf.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

Click on the '''correct facility''' that you wish to view.
[[File:Choose facility.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]

The '''same information''' that was available from the student approval record will populate onto a new browser tab and is available for viewing.

NOTE: If you cannot find the staff member you are looking for from the '''Reported''' tab, you can check the '''Un-Reported''' tab. The '''Un-Reported''' tab is a list of teachers retrieved from the Employment Information System that have been identified as working in a special education position but do not have an approval record for the current school year.

If you find the staff member you are looking for located under the '''Un-Reported''' tab, you can immediately add a personnel approval record. Once you add the approval record from the '''Un-Reported''' tab, the staff member will then be moved from the '''Un-Reported''' tab to the '''Reported''' tab.

However, if the staff member you are looking for is not listed under the '''Reported''' tab or the '''Un-Reported''' tab, you can add a new personnel approval record. To do this, see '''Adding Personnel Approval Record.'''
