There are three different levels of data entry: the General User level, the Project Director level, and the District Superintendent/President level. The level of password determines the capabilities of the account. For example, on the CEO Password reserved forms, the Project Director and General User passwords are inoperable. Each level of password uses the same Logon screen. Passwords are emailed by the Regional Program Monitors to the Project Director and the College

Web-based Perkins Local Application System Users Guide, Version 3.3 (4/15/14) 3

Superintendent/President as indicated on the last Perkins Local Application or the newly updated District Contact Information (CTE 5) form. General User Password At the direction of the Project Director, this password can be used by staff to enter and save program data on the Section II Part A, Section III Part A, and Section IV Part B and Part C forms. The General User password is cannot access other application form sections. Project Director Password The Project Director’s password is the same one used to access the Perkins Title IC Year-to-Date Reporting System. For the Online Local Application, the Project Director’s password can access, enter/save data, and check the “form is complete” button on all the forms except those forms reserved for CEO Password access (see the following section). CEO District Superintendent/President Password The CEO password can certify the entire Local Application including the “Allocation Agreement” face-sheet (CTE-1), “Statements of Assurance” (CTE-3), “Certifications Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements” (CTE-4), and can override all other entries. This password will be emailed by the Regional Program Monitor to the District Superintendent/President upon request.

THE LOGON SCREEN The Perkins Local Application system is available through the Extranet Online Web Local Application Site‖ at http://misweb.cccco.edu. The Logon screen can be accessed directly at http://misweb.cccco.edu/ctegrantplan/prod/logon.cfm. The most recent user guide for the Web-based Perkins Local Application System is available on the Logon screen below the Logon button (see Figure 1) and on the menu bar (see Figure 6a) after logon. Logon to the district account by following the steps below (see Figure 1): 1. Select the Plan Year. 2. Select your District. 3. Enter the appropriate password (General User, Project Director, or CEO Superintendent/President). 4. Select the Logon button. PROCESS SELECTION SCREEN The opening screen that will appear first after logging on is designed to help you navigate through the various levels of the Perkins Local Application system and allows you to determine by glancing at the Menu Bar the status of each section within the Local Application:

not started (white) started (yellow) completed (green)

Warning: For security reasons the data entry system expires when 30 minutes have lapsed between data entry sessions. That means if the system detects a period of inactivity and the “Save/Update” button was not pressed within the 30 timeframe, the system automatically logs you off and all data entered after the last Save/Update is lost. To avoid the possibility of losing your work, we recommend that you click the Save/Update button habitually throughout the data entry process and before you leave a form or log off the system.

Web-based Perkins Local Application System Users Guide, Version 3.3 (4/15/14) 4

The Menu Bar is located along the left side of the screen (see Figure 2). While the Menu Bar shows you the status, it is also your menu for accessing all required forms. In order to access the specific form, place the mouse cursor over the labeled button of the form you want to click on it. Select one of the following options under Form(s), College(s), Certification or Log out. (It is recommended that you start with the Contact Information form and work down through each succeeding level of the Local Application process because portions of the Local Application generate information used in the succeeding levels. However, it is not mandatory to work on the Local Application sequentially.)

Contact Information (CTE-5) This form is used to identify the appropriate person to direct correspondence to at the district regarding this Local Application and allocation agreement. This information automatically completes various parts of other forms in the Local Application so that the district need only enter this information once.

College(s) For single campus districts, the college name appears first. For multi-campus districts,

the district names appear first followed by each college in the district. The district builds its application from the colleges’ Section I Part C List of TOP Codes and Titles to be Funded in 200X-200Y Including Across CTE Programs and CTE Transitions forms.

Sec I-Part B Form The Local Planning Team Involvement form has to two questions for documenting the

composition of the local planning team and how the team is involved in the decision-making process including the CTE Transitions funding.

Sec I-Part D-Form The Responses to Local Plan Requirements form is made up of 12 questions which

document how Perkins requirements are being met.

Sec I-Part E- D Form Starting in 2008-2009 and thereafter, single college districts and multi-campus districts are required to report aggregate district level data. For single-campus and multi-campus districts where district level data is available, the Section I Part E-D “District Aggregate Core Indicator Information“ form is located under the district button on the Menu Bar.

Sec I-Part E- C Form For single campus and multi-campus districts college level aggregated data is reported by

completing Section I Part E-C “College Aggregate Core Indicator Information” form under the college button.

Sec IV Part A Form The “Application Budget Summary by District” captures a summary of the district

budget for each line item. This form is generated from the budgets entered in the district and college budget items for Program, Across Programs, CTE Transitions and Administration budgets.

CTE-1 The “Allocation Agreement” face-sheet is the legally binding document that specifies the

period of the allocation, the reporting requirements, the funding source, and the amount of the allocation.

CTE-2 “Request for Title I-C Career Technical Education [CTE) Funds” Since 2009-2010, CTE-2

is no longer used in the Local Application. The number sequence of the remaining CTE forms is unchanged to avoid confusion.

CTE-3 The “Statements of Assurance” is where districts certify that the Local Application

complies with all the provisions of the Perkins Act; Cost Guidelines; and Instruction, Terms, and Conditions

CTE-4 The “Certifications Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Responsibility

Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements” is where districts certify the district

Web-based Perkins Local Application System Users Guide, Version 3.3 (4/15/14) 5

will comply Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension and Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirement statements.

CTE-6 The “District Negotiation of Levels of Performance” form is used to signal acceptance

the State-negotiated target levels or a negotiated local adjusted level of performance for each core indicator.

CTE-7 The “District Performance Determination” form indicates whether district performance

was within 90% of targets negotiated in the prior year. When the district falls below 90% of one or more negotiated targets, the form is also used to describe strategies and activities to address performance gaps to improve annual performance to within 90% of the negotiated targets.

LOCAL APPLICATION CERTIFICATION & SUBMISSION

1. When all the boxes on the Menu Bar are green that means the Local Application is nearly complete and ready for the CEO to do the final two steps to certify and submit the application electronically.

2. On the front page of the Local Application the CEO clicks “Certify District Application” button (see Figure 29) 3. This action activates the Allocation Agreement Face-sheet (CTE 1) form (see figure 27) which requires the CEO to

certify that the District’s Career and Technical Education Allocation Application complies with the provisions of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 as presented herein and all supporting documents.

4. After CEO clicks the “ Certify “button at the bottom of the CTE 1 form, the Local Application is submitted electronically (see Figure 31).

After the CEO has successfully certified and completed the “Web-based Perkins Local Application Process” (see Figure 32) he/she can now select the button labeled “Log out” at the bottom of the Menu Bar.

NOTE: After the certification of the application is completed note that the introductory welcoming message is replaced with a statement that the application has been certified. Also note that a line has been added to the right reading “Substantially Approvable”. This means your assigned Program Monitor hascompleted their review of the application and approved it online a date will be inserted (e.g. “Substantially Approvable: June 29, 20XX”). The significance of this date is that once the application has been deemed “Substantially Approvable” and the period of the allocation has started (July 1, 20XX) the district can begin expending funds. Prior to this determination funds cannot be expended. The District can monitor this screen to determine the status of the application approval process. Once a submission is certified, the information cannot be edited. If changes or updates are required after certification, contact your regional program monitor at the Chancellor’s Office.
