Introduction: The School Financial Services Team has created a "reporting portal" through which districts will access all required School Financial Service Team reports. These instructions are designed to guide district staff to the PI 1563 Pupil Count reporting program and to the instructions for completing this report.
Special Notes: The program will close and return the user to the ID page after twenty minutes of continuous inactivity. Users can enter data, submit the data, and then exit the program. Upon re-entry, the previous data will be displayed, and the user can update the data if the user wishes. An audit trail will be created when changes are made after the data has been saved.
Instructions - (Portal Access)
