180 Day Calendar and Waiver Forms Training Webinar

180 -Day Calendar and Waiver Forms Training Webinar Office of State Aid October 10, 2019

Overview/Agenda 1. Prepare calendar excel spreadsheet available at: https: //stateaid. nysed. gov/attendance/htm_docs/att endance_900_990_Hour_Requirement_memo. htm ONLY USE SED-PRODUCED VERSION! 2. Upload files to 180 Day Calendar Form. 3. Complete 180 Day Waiver Form—all districts must complete, even if you are not applying for a waiver. 4. Complete the 180 Day Certification Form. 2

Key Things to Remember 1. You MUST use the SED-developed spreadsheet. 2. You are submitting the 2018 -19 school year calendar, not your planned calendar for 2019 -20. 3. Schools that have one institution code but multiple schedules (or span the 900/990 hour requirements) require a spreadsheet tab for each version. 4. Grade levels in cell B 5 of the spreadsheet must align with the grades in the school—otherwise data could be overridden by another calendar submission. 3

Key Things to Remember 5. In cell B 5 only list the grades in this format, such K-2, 3 -5, 6, 9 -12. Do not use extra text. 6. Be sure the Grade Level Group chosen in cell B 6 matches the data for the grades listed in cell B 5. 7. BOTH the waiver form and the calendar form need to be set to Ready status for the Superintendent to be able to certify. Even if a district is NOT applying for the waiver, they will need to complete Q 1 on the waiver form, Save & Ready. 4
