2016 Spring Release Webinar

The Consolidated Application and Reporting System (CARS) Project Team has created our second YouTube video: 2016 Spring Release Webinar. The recording is an overview for local educational agencies (LEA), of how to navigate within the CARS and a general review of the Spring Release data collections. The direct link is: https://youtube/UTLDHSN_RhM . Given the clarity of the smaller text is not the best, we recommend that you view the recording in full screen mode.

Also, the following additional training information is available from the Consolidated Application (ConApp) Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/co/:

• 2016-17 Consolidated Application Program Guidance
• 2016-17 Consolidated Application Instructions

Each form’s instructions include step-by-step instructions to complete the forms, a list of all error messages, and if applicable how to resolve the error.

The CARS Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/co/cars.asp includes a link to the CARS LEA User Guide that contains more information on how the system works and how to use each of the tabs.

"Missing" 2016-17 Data Collections

ConApp Support has received a number of telephone calls and e-mails about “missing” 2016-17 data collections. Please remember that the display of additional data collections is dependent on what you apply for in the 2016-17 Application for Funding.
