&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;Indicator 11&#039;&#039; measures the percentage of students with initial parental consent to evaluate who were evaluated and had eligibility determined within 60 school days. A school day is defined as a pupil attendance day based on the evaluating district’s official calendar submitted annually to ISBE. The evaluating district is the resident district of the student at the time of the initial eligibility determination, unless the student has been parentally placed in a nonpublic school (Fund Code L or P). The evaluating district for students parentally placed in a nonpublic school (Fund Code L or P) is the district whose boundaries include the area where the nonpublic school is physically located. Indicator 11 data is required for all student records. I-Star records without &#039;&#039;Indicator 11&#039;&#039; data will result in errors. If &#039;&#039;Indicator 11&#039;&#039; data is not provided, you will need to enter the desired code to avoid an error.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the &#039;&#039;&#039;Student&#039;&#039;&#039; drop-down, select &#039;&#039;&#039;Student Central&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Central.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can search for students by several different filters such as Student SIS ID, Last Name, First Name, School Year, and/or Resident District.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the magnifying glass icon to search.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Spp11.png|none|thumb|638x638px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the approval record that requires Indicator 11 data. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Spp111.png|none|thumb|697x697px]] &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Confirm that the correct student is selected and click on the “11” icon to enter SPP 11 data. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Sppp11data.png|none|thumb|975x975px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: If Indicator 11 data already exists for this student from a previous district, simply click SAVE. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Savespp11.png|none|thumb|501x501px]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If data does not exist for the student, proceed to enter evaluating information and dates for the student.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Imageproceed.png|none|thumb|524x524px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I-Star Plus will calculate the “School Days To Complete” field. This field is not editable for districts. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Calendar.png|none|thumb|617x617px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the timeline between the parental consent and the eligibility determination is within the 60 day timeline, click ‘save’. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Timeline.png|none|thumb|690x690px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the timeline is not within the 60 day timeline, the ‘Reason Timeline Not Met’ dropdown will require data entry to indicator the reasoning.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Timeline1.png|none|thumb|568x568px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click on the “?” icon for a list of “Timeline Not Met Reasons” and their descriptions.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:List.png|none|thumb|544x544px]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:List1.png|none|thumb|650x650px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;For the students who have moved to the district with an IEP already in place, Indicator 11 data is still required. To show this data from the Indicator 11 screen, click the &amp;quot;Reason Not Applicable&amp;quot; box and select Reason Code 02.&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the list of &amp;quot;Not Applicable Reasons&amp;quot; click the &amp;quot;?&amp;quot; next to the dropdown:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Reason.png|none|thumb|456x456px]]  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click save. &lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Studentcentraltab.png|none|thumb]] &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The school year dropdown should display the most recent school year. [https://www.hbug.k12.il.us/istarplusguide/index.php?title=Searching_for_Students Search for the student] who requires exit data / who should not have rolled over. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2627.png|none|thumb|552x552px]] &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scroll to the bottom of the grayed out approval record and enter the previous year&#039;s exit data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If the student moved after regular term ended, the end date is the last day of school with an exit code of 06)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;NOTE: The exit code of 20 is not an acceptable final exit code.&#039;&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exit Code 20 is only used for end/adds where data entry is showing a change in the student&#039;s IEP. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Possible Scenario: Data entry performed an end/add and future dated the student&#039;s newest record to roll over for the new year. District was advised that student moved during the summer and the future-dated record was deleted but the exit code of 20 was not updated on the previous Student Approval. &lt;br /&gt;

After ISBE completes the rollover for the newest default school year, I-Star Plus will prompt all users to enter exit data if a Student Approval record is deleted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scenarios:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# 8th grade or graduating senior Approval Records were not exited in the prior school year. &lt;br /&gt;
# Student moved over the summer and district was notified after the rollover was completed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To remove a student from the current school year and enter exit data, click the Student tab in the toolbar and select Student Central.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Studentcentraltab.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The school year dropdown should display the most recent school year. Search for the student who requires exit data / who should not have rolled over. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2627.png|none|thumb|552x552px]]Locate the trashcan icon under the &#039;Student Approval Data&#039; panel in blue and click to delete. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Clicktrashcan.png|none|thumb|724x724px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Scroll to the bottom of the grayed out approval record and enter the previous year&#039;s exit data.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(If the student moved after regular term ended, the end date is the last day of school with an exit code of 06)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Click &#039;delete approval&#039; if only the approval record should be deleted.&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Click &#039;delete&#039; if both the approval record and student caseload should be deleted.&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Delete approval .png|none|thumb|887x887px]]&lt;br /&gt;
To review student approval records with Missing Exit Data, click on the Data Collection tab and then click on Exit Data. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Missing exit datsa.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ensure the school year dropdown indicates the previous school year, the appropriate Resident District is in the District dropdown and the &amp;quot;Missing Exits&amp;quot; is toggled blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Click the magnifying glass to search for any potential missing exits. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Missing exits.png|none|thumb|1037x1037px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any students populate on the tab, you are required to enter missing exit data before the due date. To enter the missing exit data, click the + next to the student&#039;s name. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Plusbutton.png|none|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enter the previous year exit data in the pop-up box and then click save. Repeat the process for any other students who may be on the tab. &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Clicksave1.png|none|thumb|925x925px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NOTE: The exit code of 20 is not an acceptable final exit code. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Exit Code 20 is only used for end/adds where data entry is showing&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
A-1.   What is a “&#039;&#039;&#039;qualified interpreter&#039;&#039;&#039;”?  A qualified interpreter is defined by 23 IAC 226.75 as a school staff member or other personnel who is bilingual and demonstrably qualified and competent to interpret between English and another language, trained in providing the interpretations requested and sufficiently knowledgeable in both languages of any specialized terminology needed, and trained in the ethics of interpretation. The qualified interpreter could be an individual that a Local Educational Agency (LEA) has on staff or an individual the LEA contracts with on an as-needed basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;To become a qualified interpreter, one must complete at least nine hours of training in the following areas:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpreting into and out of English&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpretation standards of practice, sight translation, ethics, and confidentiality&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Role of the interpreter and role boundaries :Respect, impartiality, professionalism, fundamentals of the effects of cultural differences on effective interpretation, and advocacy for communication&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Proper and improper interpretation techniques as depicted in video format&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;.[https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Qualified-Interpreters-Code-of-Ethics.pdf Interpreter Code of Ethics as adopted by ISBE]&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If the remaining schools did &#039;&#039;&#039;NOT&#039;&#039;&#039; have requests for an interpreter, the toggle switch for &amp;quot;Done Reporting&amp;quot; can be moved to YES. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I-Star Plus will autofill 0s for the remaining schools.   &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A-1.   What is a “&#039;&#039;&#039;qualified interpreter&#039;&#039;&#039;”?  A qualified interpreter is defined by 23 IAC 226.75 as a school staff member or other personnel who is bilingual and demonstrably qualified and competent to interpret between English and another language, trained in providing the interpretations requested and sufficiently knowledgeable in both languages of any specialized terminology needed, and trained in the ethics of interpretation. The qualified interpreter could be an individual that a Local Educational Agency (LEA) has on staff or an individual the LEA contracts with on an as-needed basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;To become a qualified interpreter, one must complete at least nine hours of training in the following areas:&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpreting into and out of English&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpretation standards of practice, sight translation, ethics, and confidentiality&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Role of the interpreter and role boundaries :Respect, impartiality, professionalism, fundamentals of the effects of cultural differences on effective interpretation, and advocacy for communication&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Proper and improper interpretation techniques as depicted in video format&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;.[https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Qualified-Interpreters-Code-of-Ethics.pdf Interpreter Code of Ethics as adopted by ISBE]&#039;&#039;  &lt;br /&gt;

A-1.   What is a “&#039;&#039;&#039;qualified interpreter&#039;&#039;&#039;”?  A qualified interpreter is defined by 23 IAC 226.75 as a school staff member or other personnel who is bilingual and demonstrably qualified and competent to interpret between English and another language, trained in providing the interpretations requested and sufficiently knowledgeable in both languages of any specialized terminology needed, and trained in the ethics of interpretation. The qualified interpreter could be an individual that a Local Educational Agency (LEA) has on staff or an individual the LEA contracts with on an as-needed basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpretation standards of practice, sight translation, ethics, and confidentiality&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Role of the interpreter and role boundaries • Respect, impartiality, professionalism, fundamentals of the effects of cultural differences on effective interpretation, and advocacy for communication&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Proper and improper interpretation techniques as depicted in video format&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

A-1.   What is a “&#039;&#039;&#039;qualified interpreter&#039;&#039;&#039;”?  A qualified interpreter is defined by 23 IAC 226.75 as a school staff member or other personnel who is bilingual and demonstrably qualified and competent to interpret between English and another language, trained in providing the interpretations requested and sufficiently knowledgeable in both languages of any specialized terminology needed, and trained in the ethics of interpretation. The qualified interpreter could be an individual that a Local Educational Agency (LEA) has on staff or an individual the LEA contracts with on an as-needed basis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;To become a qualified interpreter, one must complete at least nine hours of training in the following areas: • Interpreting into and out of English&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Interpretation standards of practice, sight translation, ethics, and confidentiality&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Role of the interpreter and role boundaries • Respect, impartiality, professionalism, fundamentals of the effects of cultural differences on effective interpretation, and advocacy for communication&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;• Proper and improper interpretation techniques as depicted in video format&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
