Administrator Guide for MissouriChapter 1: Synergy SE Overview 11
OverviewSynergy SE system administration includes the initial configuration andmaintenance of the variousspecial educationmodules through Synergy SE.
Implementation Considerations
A critical piece of the implementation process is determining who is responsible for each setup ordata entry process in Synergy SE. This analysis determines the structure and security of the usergroups. For example:
l What role will the IT staff play in both the initial implementation and the ongoingmaintenance?l Is there a dedicated student records system administrator?l What modules do the special education clerks setup andmaintain?l Who enters the document information?l Who can change student address and phone information?
Configuration Preparation
If the district is Synergy SE only, before setting up the system, gather the following information:
l The district address, phone, fax, logo, and state code informationl A list of schools with their address, phone, fax, logo, and state code information, and thenames of the principals.
l A list of staff for each of the schools and their role in the schools. The staff address and phoneinformation, emergency contact information, and credentialsmay also be recorded.
l A list of the staff that will be using Synergy SE, and their duties within Synergy SE.l If LDAP is used, the domain name and server UNC path for the LDAP server.l If Synergy SE is used to send e-mail notifications, the address of themail server to be used aswell as the email address to use as the From address.
If the district uses Synergy SE, then the information is already setupin Synergy SE.

Synergy SE ProcessesSynergy SE contains special education processes in which special education students reside. Eachprocess contains documents specific to that process. Use this chapter to modify the processes andthe documents within the processes, to fit the district's unique needs.
Examples of processes are:
l Referrall Initial Evaluationl Annual Reviewl Reevaluationl Transfer
l Preschooll Early Childhoodl Private Schooll 504
Each process contains process documents that coincide with the basic steps of that process.Documents can either be listed in a process or in the AdHoc documents.
To use the same document in both a process and in Ad Hoc, use a copy ofthe document with a differentDocument name.
The processes are developed based on the district preference. Districts have the ability to hide(inactivate) any processwithin the application (for example, the Preschool process), as well as addor hide a document within any process.
Timelinesmay be assigned to any process. Recalculation of timelines occur when:
l The Timeline tab is opened on the SE Student screen.l Recalculate All Students is press in the Process Setup screen, Timeline tab.l Recalculate All Students is pressed in the BusinessCalendar screen.
Eligibility, IEP, and Triennial Reevaluation are events that always appearon the timeline.

User Defined DocumentsUser Defined Documents allow district staff to build fully functional Synergy documents used in theSpecial Education system. These documents create both a data entry screen and a printeddocument that have the same look and feel as documents built by Edupoint developers.
Student data gathered by these documents saves to the Synergy database, whichmakes it availablefor query.
Use these documents:
l For Special Education, 504, or bothl As part of a process or as an AdHoc document
User Defined Documents do not contain logic such as the IEP, IFSP,METs, 504 Plan, Eligibility Documents.
Components
User Defined SE Documents use four separate components found in in the PAD tree.
l Document Definition located at Synergy SE > System > Special Education >Document Definition – Used for defining a variety of documents including general purpose,Eligibility Determination, Prior Written Notice, PDF, and Print Only
l User Defined Data located at Synergy SE > System > Data and Views > User DefinedData – Used to create a variety of fields (individual or in grids) such as drop-downmenus,checkboxes, dates, and text boxes.
l View Change located at Synergy SE > System > Data and Views > View Change –Used to create tabs, group boxes, and allows placement of fields and grids in various screens.
l Mail Merge District Definition located at Synergy SE > System > Setup > Mail MergeDistrict Definition – Allows the creation of aWord document that canmerge data from thedatabase. The product is a printed format that includes individual student information.
Those with experience using any of these components already have the ability to create documentsusing the User Defined SE Documents tool.

Define Statement in Auto Populate
Use the Auto Populate screen to define the text of the permission statement. The following is asample statement but the district may compose and use any statement.
Sample Statement
The School Agency receives funding from theMedicaid Direct Service Claiming program forIEP covered services to eligible children through the State'sMedicaid agency. This is astate-approved program that allows the School Agency to receive reimbursement fromfederal funds for providing some health-related covered services to eligible children in ourschool system. Examples of covered services include speech therapy, assistance with dailyliving skills, physical therapy, and nursing services.
The School Agency, working with the StateMedicaid agency, will need to determine if mychild is eligible or should become eligible in the school-basedMedicaid program. The SchoolAgencymay useMedicaid benefits in which a child participates to provide or pay for servicesdocumented in the Individualized Education Program (IEP.) Parents are not required to signup for or enroll in Medicaid to receive IEP services or a free appropriate public education, norare they responsible for any out of pocket expenses for these IEP services. Also, the SchoolAgency's access to these benefits is not allowed if it would have a negative impact on thechild's or parent's public insurance.
The School Agencywill provide the required services tomy child at no cost to mewhether ornot I grant mywritten consent. My consent is voluntary andmay be revoked at any time. TheSchool Agency's use of this reimbursement program does not in anyway affect or impactother Medicaid benefits to whichmy child is entitled, including any otherwise eligible servicesoutside of school.
I understand and agree toMedicaid eligibility verification and claims submission by theDistrict for IEP specified services.
