DEC1 FAQs

1. I have a record for a student in No EC Services because the parent denied consent or the student was not eligible. A lot of time has passed and we want to do a new referral for the student. The fields are locked. How can I add a new referral?

If a student's record is in a status of No EC Services due to no consent to evaluate, not eligible, or no consent for placement and you need to enter a new referral do the following:

  • Use the Record Closure Button to close the record with a reason of Reset for Referral.
  • After closing the record, open the Region/LEA screen and click the Transfer In button.
  • On the Transfer In screen, select the New radio button and enter the other required information.
  • Next, click the Special Ed button to return to the Special Ed screen.
  • Now, the referral information can be entered.

DEC4 FAQs

1.How do I unselect a secondary eligibility if I accidentally selected it?

To unselect a secondary eligibility in the IEP/DEC4, hold down your control key and click on the selected eligibility to clear it.

2.If my student has more than 1 competency goal, how can I document this as CECAS will only allow me to choose 1 from the drop list.

If your student has more than 1 competency goal, extra competency goals can be typed into the Annual Goal text field. Also, if the competency goal is the same but the student will change grades during the course of the IEP, then you can reference your goal by typing in "The COMPETENCY Goal BELOW APPLIES TO grades 3 and 4".
