Daily or Reporting User

LEAs and Charter Schools will decide how they will implement CECAS. A school system can decide whether they want to be a CECAS daily user or only a CECAS reporting user. Daily users are school systems whose teachers maintain student information in CECAS on a regular basis. This information can include both demographic data and the IEP and other forms. CECAS will automatically generate Child Count and End-Of-Year reports for administrative verification.

Reporting users will typically use third-party software to manage their EC student data and will rely on CECAS at the district level to post their Child Count and End-Of-Year data to satisfy State and Federal reporting requirements. The CECAS Project Team has published an XML data exchange format for these third-party systems to generate data files that then can be uploaded into CECAS.
