      Report: Master Agreement Compliance

       The Document Archiving feature is an additional module available to our SIS and PLS clients. If your school does not already use this feature, and is interested in making use of it, please contact your School Pathways Representative.

      Master Agreement Compliance is a feature that allows school admins to review the state of a master agreement (states described below) and also allows teachers to keep track of where they are in the process of creating master agreements.

       

      Navigation:

      Teachers > Compliance > Master Agreement Compliance Report

        Click on the Generate Report button.

        Explanation of Header Section on the Report:

        The Header Section of the report provides essential information that gives meaning and context to the colors and statuses displayed. This valuable insight helps school administrators and teachers understand the current status of the master agreements and effectively track their progress. (please note if you have added a class after creating a MA the color will turn red again)

         

        Compliant is Green:

        Master agreement has been accepted/approved by the school in the archive compliance area. This option is only available for schools using electronic archiving

        Awaiting Review is Yellow:

         The master agreement is submitted and ready for review in archiving compliance. This color only available for schools using electronic archiving

        Printed Signature Requested is Orange:

         The master agreement has been physically printed or signature invites have been requested. If the master agreement has been printed, the system has no way of knowing if signatures were obtained and the master agreement was filed. Therefore, printed MAs will not have use of any further color code changes

        Not Created/Rejected is Red

         A master agreement has not been initiated or the default settings have been saved but nothing has been printed nor signatures requested. If a master agreement is approved, a red color could also mean one or more classes for this student are new since the original MA was created. The option of an additional class causing the system to change back to red is only available for schools using electronic archiving.

        New PLS/Student Roster Updates

        Color-Coded Check Marks

        The colors are also reflected on the PLS Student Roster. If a new class is added, the color check will change to reflect the need for a new MA or New Addendum.

        • Red Check Mark : Need an MA or Addendum  to be Created



        • Orange Check Mark: MA has been created, waiting for signature


        • Green Check Mark: MA is complete

         

        Warning of non-compliant Master Agreements(if you want teachers to get an alert that MAs are needed)

        Enable by a Policy

        Admin >Settings > Policies > Archiving 

        Policy #9 “Warn on the student roster if any students have classes not associated with an accepted MA” Set to Yes

        *Policy #10 must be enabled as well

        • If a student leaves and returns later in the year, a NEW MA needs to be created because there is a break in enrollment.


        If you see a box that flashed in red on your PLS Roster:


        This feature is a reminder to teachers which students have non-compliant master agreements or Addendums

        When the PLS Student Roster opens or refreshes, teachers will see a list of their non-compliant students. .
