It's time to start preparing for Spring Reports! A big part of being prepared is having a master list.
What is a master list?
A master list contains detailed information about all students (free, reduced-price, and paid) enrolled at each site that may be useful for program planning, eligibility determination, verification, or other needs. The list commonly includes the following information:
- Student's name
- Student's date of birth
- Campus location
- Eligibility status
- Date of eligibility determination
- Date and notation of any changes in status grade level
- Source of eligibility status (may be more than one)
- Teacher
This list can be maintained through the POS system or Excel or even be handwritten.
Why is this so important?
Every year we are required to report enrollment and free/reduced information through the verification and CEP reports. The best way to ensure the reporting of accurate information is to maintain accurate information! Utilizing a master list helps you to know if students qualify for benefits through DC, application, or by extension from another student.
Refer to ARM Section 20 for more information. Also, join us for the Spring Reports class on March 1 for a detailed look at the master list.
