ADDITIONAL LEIS GUIDELINES

CONTACT PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR THE MOST RECENT UPDATED LEIS FORMS

1.  DATES:

     a.  The first day that a student is physically present in your class is the date that goes

          on the LEIS Sheet.  A Student Entry Date must be the same on all of these forms. 

          You cannot give a student a goal and date it the second day of the class.  That

          student will show up as not having a goal for that one day.

     b.  The date on which you drop a student from the roster must match the date used on

           the Outcomes Form.  A student cannot accomplish a goal after they are dropped

           from the roll.  The date for his/her achievements or separation will be the last date

           of the semester in which he/she was enrolled.  If  a student has at least one

           achievement, it is not necessary to have a separation reason.

2.  All students must complete all applicable items on the Student Profile Sheet.

3.  Every student must have at least one goal on the data form. 

4.  It is extremely important that goals are appropriate and attainable by a student during the

     report year.  Many examples show up that are not reasonable.  For example, a student

     who took a reading placement test and scored a grade level cannot have a goal “Learn to

     Read (Nonreader)."  A prisoner cannot have a goal of “Get a Job” or “Get a Better Job."  A 

     person born in the United States cannot have a goal of “U.S. Citizenship."

     Social Security Numbers and/or Student ID Numbers are very important.  

     We need the  student’s social security number on every form that is submitted for that   

     student. This is needed to ensure that none of the forms are lost or misplaced.  Preference

     is to use Student ID numbers as opposed to Social Security Numbers.  However, if

     student has not been issued a Student ID Number, Social Security Numbers must be

     indicated.  It is imperative to have an appropriate ID Number on each student form.

5.  Many students are without outcome information.  When there is no information that

     shows an achievement or a separation reason, the reports that go to Raleigh and

     Washington, DC count the student as “Separation Reason Unknown."  This is not a

     desirable reason  for a student to no longer be in our class.  It implies that no effort

     was made to find out why the student is not attending or to get the student to return

     to class.

Please do not hesitate to call ext.6732, if you have questions about these forms. 

It is easier to fill them out correctly the first time rather than returning them back to the instructor for corrections.
