Search Terms: Special Ed Documents

The Consent to Evaluate in Campus is used to document the student's and parent/guardian's consent to evaluate the student to determine their needs for special education services. This document describes each editor, the section(s) of the print format that include the entered information, a description of each field on the editor, and any special considerations and instructions for using the editor and fields.

An evaluation must be created whether or not the student is determined to have a disability. A copy of the evaluation summary report, including the documentation of eligibility, is given to the student’s parents by the school district.

The current format of this document is the  GA Consent to Evaluate 2020. Evaluation formats are selected in Eval Types.

There are two types of editors available: List or Basic editors. When navigating to a Basic editor, the list of fields within the editor is displayed. List editors display a list of all records within that editor. Clicking an existing record or the New button opens the detail view for an individual record.

Editor Lock Out and Release Logic

Only one user at a time can actively work on an editor. A person with a padlock icon (Screenshot of the Padlock Icon.) displays in the Editors side panel, Editor Home, and List Screen of list editors indicating which editors currently have users working on them. Hovering over the icon displays the name of the user who has checked out the editor, including the current user (you).

Editors that are currently being edited are read-only for all other users. The name of the person working on the editor displays in the header. 

To release an editor, the user must:

  • navigate to the next editor by clicking Save and Next or the Editors button and selecting the next editor from the side panel.
  • click the Cancel button to return to the Editor Home screen.
  • log out of the Campus application.
  • navigate to a different tool in the Campus application.

Editors are automatically released when the in-application timeout limit has been exceeded. This is a back-end process and is usually around 30-60 minutes.

Template Banks

Certain fields within several editors have an Add Template icon that displays next to their name. Clicking this button displays a side panel with the available library of predetermined text for that field. Template Banks are managed in System Administration.

This adds the template to the queue of values on the right. The red X removes selected templates while the sequence field can be used to reorder the templates. Another option is to use the up and down arrows next to the sequence field to reorder values. 

Click Cancel to go back to the document. The Clear Selected Template(s) button removes all selected template values from the right selection screen. 

Once selections are finalized, click the Insert Selected Template(s) button to add the values to the field within the document in the selected order. Template values are separated by carriage returns.
