NJ SMART Career and Technical Data Extract

Introduction

Use the NJ SMART Career and Technical Data Extract option to take an end-of-year snapshot of the students enrolled in a CTE program. You must submit this information to the state.

Report Setup

Prior to creating the NJ SMART CTE extract, complete the following tasks:

  1. Identify the CTE courses on the Edit Course District page by completing the following fields: CIP Code and, if appropriate, CTE Test Developer, CTE Test Name, and CTE Program of Study College Credits.
  2. Complete the NJ SMART Career and Technical Education Information fields found on the NJS CTE tab of the State/Province-NJ page.  Enter values for each student enrolled in a CTE program.

The following attendance related fields are no longer reported as of Spring 2021:

  • Cumulative Days in Membership
  • Cumulative Days Present
  • Cumulative Days Towards Truancy

Cumulative Days Reporting is Discontinued as of Spring 2021:You can override any of these calculated values by entering a value in any or all of these fields on the NJS Student tab. You can also elect to add an additional value to the calculated value by selecting the corresponding Add Value checkbox. For example, if you enter 45 in the Cumulative Days of Membership field and do not select the Add Value check box, 45 is extracted for the Cumulative Days of Membership in the NJ SMART Student Extract. If you enter 45 in Cumulative Days of Membership and DO select the Add Value checkbox, 45 is added to the membership days value that is calculated when the report is run.

To report the Cumulative Days Toward Truancy value:

  1. Create a new attendance category at School > School Setup > Attendance Code Categories. You can assign any name to this attendance category.
  2. Navigate to School > School Setup > Attendance Code and select the Code Category checkbox for your newly created truancy Code Category.
    Note: You must complete this step for any Attendance Codes that count towards truancy. This will cause absences from those designated Attendance Codes to be included in the Cumulative Days Toward Truancy calculation.
  3. Enter the attendance category name on the report interface when you generate the report.

You must run the Refresh Premier Attendance option to refresh the daily attendance for the students prior to generating the NJ SMART CTE report. The Refresh Premier Attendance option is scheduled to run automatically as part of the nightly run. To include attendance entered after the nightly run is complete, manually run the Refresh Premier Attendance option prior to running the NJ SMART SID Maintenance report.

To run the Refresh Premier Attendance option:

  1. Go to Start > Special Functions > Attendance Functions > Refresh Premier Attendance Views Data.
  2. Select the All Students option to calculate attendance for all students.
  3. Enter the Begin Date and Ending Date to define the attendance reporting period.
  4. Click the Submit button to run the process.

Report logic includes accounting for non-membership attendance codes for Meeting Attendance.  For a Meeting Attendance student, the report will search the student’s daily attendance value for each day and check to see if the attendance code issued for that day is a non-membership code.  If that day’s attendance code is non-membership code, the student is issued 0 for attendance membership for the day.  The day is included in Enrollment membership, which means that day will be counted as a Day Enrolled, but not as a Day Possible, Day Present or Day absent.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. For the NJ SMART Career and Technical Data extract, CTE student records are selected

Student Selection

The report selects which student records to use based on the following criteria:

  • The student enrollment was active on the snapshot date.
  • The student is enrolled in a school that is not excluded from state reporting.
  • The student is not excluded from state reporting.
  • The student is flagged as Include in CTE Report on the NJS CTE tab. The Include in NJ SMART indicator is not part of the selection criteria.
  • The student is assigned to a CIP program.
  • The student’s Stored Grades records exist for any course to be reported. Lacking a Stored Grade record will cause Test Developer and Test Name not to extract. The term of the stored grade is used to determine if the course was taken in the current school year.

Optionally, you can exclude a student that does not have a State Identification Number (SID).
