The submit button does not appear until all signature(s) are obtained. • Once the report has been signed, the status of the report will change from SAVED to SIGNED. A report must be in SAVED status in order to make changes. • If the report is in SIGNED status, the report must be unsigned to make changes. • If the report is in SUBMITTED status, the area coordinator must place the report in HELD status so the school can unsign the report and make changes. Once all changes have been made, the signature process must start over again.

  17. FAQ • Q: I am able to login with my SAFE Account, but I do not see the option for SFPS? A: You do not have the proper OEDS role. Contact Denise Willis or Bev Russell for assistance. • Q: I am unable to login with my SAFE Account. What I am doing wrong? A: There are three possible error messages you are getting. If the error message is (Invalid Login), the Account name being used is incorrect. If the error message is (Invalid Password), the password is incorrect. The password is case sensitive. If the error message is (Too many login attempts), wait 10-15 minutes and the account will be unlocked where you can try again. If you receive any of these messages, click on the Forgot Account Information Link under the Password box, input your email address and click submit. An email will be sent with your Account name and Password.

All reports must be signed before being submitted. • SUBMITTED: the report has been signed by all required parties and submitted to ODE • HOLD: if a report has been submitted to ODE, and ODE detects an error, or the district requests to correct the report, ODE will place the report in HOLD status. This will allow the district to “UNSIGN” the report and correct the data. The report must again be signed and submitted. • APPROVED: ODE has reviewed and approved the report. It is now final.
