[Nesabes] FW: **SMARTT training scheduled to explain new features in SMARTT for FY12**

[Ball, Patrice]

Dear Colleagues:

There are several new features which have been added to the SMARTT system for FY12. To help you to understand how this will affect data entry into SMARTT, a workshop has been scheduled for Tuesday, September 20th, 10am -12pm. This is an important training for all those who enter data into SMARTT! Donna Cornellier will be here to explain the features and to answer any questions you might have. Items to be covered will include:


1.     Fluid Class Slots and Flexible Class Over-enrollments by Service Type (ABE/ESOL)Sizes

In FY12, programs will have increased flexibility related to class enrollments. Programs can enroll students in classes at the site by service type (ABE/ESOL) as long as the total program enrollments do not exceed the total slots by 20%.

2.     Elminination of Enrollment by Funding Type It is no longer necessary to assign the funding type (Direct, Indirect, Match) or the fund code (345, 359, etc.) to each student enrollment. For reporting purposes, the system will automatically assign the funding type (Direct, Indirect, Match) and fund code based on the approved program plan

3.     No Unfunded Slots
There will only be funded slots in classes -- no unfunded slots. Note that slots can be changed at anytime - preferably at the beginning of the month. The maximum enrolled per month will be the base for the percent attendance performance standard.

4.     Assessments at the Student Level - Assessments for students will appear at all sites where the student is enrolled regardless of the site where the student took the test.

5.  New formula for Percent Attendance
