PARS System
All providers are required to
submit cost estimates prior to serving a district and to
submit actual cost reports
at the close of services. These two submissions are made
in PARS. Use the “Cost Reporting” link in the
Resources box on the right side of the screen you are currently
viewing for more information.
ISBE has a PowerPoint
presentation that PARS users should view first as a kind of “instruction
manual” for
PARS. Please note the first two slides about the necessary
version of Internet Explorer.
Having read the
instructions via this PowerPoint, users can then proceed
to program itsel—PARS
Log-in Screen.
PARS is also the system that receives new applications
from entities wishing to be approved to offer SES in
Illinois, and it holds the approved applications as
the system in
which
application updating occurs.
STARS System
All approved providers are required to use the ISBE
STARS system for tracking student enrollment and
attendance in SES classes. Providers serving students
in Chicago
Public
Schools (CPS) use ISBE STARS indirectly because
they enter data into the CPS system, which in turn will
be
downloaded
into the ISBE STARS System. Information on students
served outside of CPS, however, must be entered
directly into
the ISBE STARS by the providers.
