20. Set Asides Depending on the low income level of the schools identified as served on the Building Eligibility page, LEAs are required to use a factor of 100% or 125% in determining the minimum per pupil allocation amounts. LEAs that provide Title I services to any school(s) below 35% low income are required to use the 125% funding factor (except when the school that is below 35% low income is utilizing the grandfather rule) CCIP Training Module 420

21. Set Asides The Title I Allotment amount is populated nightly by the NCDPI Allotment system. % of Set-Asides (Non – Public School Pro Rata Share) value is calculated based on the Total Number of Non-Public Low Income Students for Served Buildings entered on the Building Eligibility Page divided by the Total Number of Low Income Students for Served Buildings (both Public and Non-Public) CCIP Training Module 421

25. Validation Business rule checks put in place to ensure quality of data being submitted by LEA System automatically runs validation as application is completed Presence of validation issues indicated on the Sections page, under the Validation column – Messages do not appear on the page as user fills out data – System does not prevent saving of “invalid” data; prevents submission of invalid data – Validation checks can span pages – “Invalid” data can become valid based on subsequent input CCIP Training Module 425

26. Validation …continued Two types of validation messages – Errors: Prevent submission of application – Warnings: Point out potential issues but allow submission Filtering Messages – All: Show every message – Section: Show all messages for pages in that section – Page: Show all messages for that page CCIP Training Module 426

27. Validation …continued Each message is a clickable link Clicking link will take user to the screen on which the issue occurred CCIP Training Module 427

28. Special Validation Considerations Some validation issues may not be resolvable in CCIP – CCIP imports organization, allocation, budget, and building eligibility data from other systems at NCDPI – User may need to update data in that system and wait for CCIP to re-import it Time lag in import processes may cause temporary invalidity of data that will resolve itself CCIP Training Module 428
