CATE Entry Date

The entry date indicates the day the student entered into the CTE course or program. If the student enrolled, then exited and is now re-enrolling, enter the date the student is re-enrolling in the CTE program. If a student exits a course or program and re-enrolls, you should submit two records for this student. This may be done during the B-O-Y, the M-O-Y, or the E-O-Y submissions.

The first record indicates the first date the student entered the CTE course or program, along with the first entry code. Also included in this record are the first exit date and exit code. The remaining fields for the submission should be based upon these entry and exit dates – for example, the days in attendance should only include the number of days between the entry and exit dates.

The second record should indicate the entry date when the student re-entered the CTE course or program along with the re-entry code. If applicable, an exit date and exit code may also be entered. The remaining fields should match the time period between the re-entry date and the exit date, especially the days in attendance.

CATE Entry Code

Indicates the code assigned to the student upon entry to the program.

CodeDescriptionNotes
V1In-State TuitionedWhen a student enrolls in a program at a CTE Center and that student resides in a different New Hampshire district and is enrolled in a high school that is not located in the same district as the CTE Center.
V2Out-of-State TuitionedWhen a student enrolls in a program at a CTE Center and that student resides in a district in a state other than New Hampshire
V3Not TuitionedA student is enrolled in a school in the same district in which the CTE Center is located. If a student resides in a district that has no high school and there is a tuition contract in place between the student's district of residence and a high school where a CTE Center is located, the student is "not tuitioned" to the CTE program. In this case, the student has the same status as any other student who receives their education at the high school where the CTE Center is located.
V4Not CTE StudentIn some cases, students may be tracked on the CATE system who are not enrolled in an approved Career and Technical Education program for a CTE Center. A student would have this entry code to indicate non-association with the CTE program.

Industry Recognized Credential

Indicates in which assessment the student was evaluated. See the New Hampshire Department of Education website for a current list of credentials.

As part of the Consolidated Accountability plan required for the US Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the NH DOE needs to determine students' Career and College readiness based upon their achievement on several indicators. The Career and College Readiness (CCR) Submission is a Required submission for all districts with a high school (grades 9 12). This includes charter school districts. The collection is due at the end of the school year, to coincide with the EOY Enrollment Submission, and must be certified by the Superintendent or other authorized official. Submit data for all 12th grade students, regardless of school completion status. Students should be included in the CCR every year in which they are reported as a 12th grader, including special education students who remain as 12th graders until they have aged out of their special education program. Do not include students who completed high school prior to 12th grade (e.g., 11th graders who graduate early). A student's Career and College readiness is inclusive of their entire high school career. Districts may report a student's attainment of identified CCR indicators that occurred at any point during the student's high school tenure, from grade 9 through grade 12.
