Before the District Attendance Report can be printed, a report instance must be generated from the calculated data for a specified apportionment period. This report instance is archived and later used when a printed report is needed for that apportionment period. The CA District Attendance Report Generation application is used to:
- Calculate line totals for the CA District Attendance CDE Form based on weekly summary data generated by the CA Attendance Summary Calculation process.
- Indicate when caps have been surpassed.
- Allow adjustments (editing) to calculated line totals.
- Archive line totals, caps, and adjustments.
- Printing the CA District Attendance Detail report.
CA District Attendance Report Generation is located under the Attendance menu in Q.
Prerequisites:
- The CA Attendance Summary Calculation must be run for the desired apportionment period. See CA Attendance Summary Calculation documentation for further details.
The Report Generation opening page displays:
- A grid, on the left side, showing the history of generated report instances for specific Apportionment Periods.
