Tool Search: Program Services
The Program Services tool provides a way to enter and display records of program-related services a student has received. For example, records may be entered for students receiving Homeless, Migrant or Gifted services.
This article explains how to enter Program Services information for an individual student. See the Homeless Services and Migrant articles if you are a customer who uses the standalone tools rather than the Program Services tool to enter this information.
Tool and service availability varies by state. Only fields titled with an asterisk are required to be populated to save a record. Required fields may vary by state. Follow local requirements regarding if, when and how any remaining fields are to be populated.
