CLNA Data Sources
- Perkins applicants will use the 2023-24 CLNA posted on our website, to complete the 2024-25 Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment process. This evaluation will be used for the 2025-26 Perkins application and will use 2023-24 school year data, now accessed through the SIRS-345 report. The SIRS-345 report is a graduation cohort report showing the performance of students enrolled in NYSED-approved programs. The CLNA process should also make use of the SIRS-305 report which shows NYSED-approved CTE programs enrollment data for grades 9-12. These reports can be accessed through the Level 2 Reporting (L2RPT) System/Cognos server.
-
L2RPT reports are generated in a Cognos reporting application environment, each hosted independently by RIC/Big 5 Level 1 data centers (or other hosting site) on their own servers. For specific information about how to access your local/regional L2RPT environment, or if you have trouble accessing your reports or need guidance, please contact the appropriate L2RPT support contacts at your Level 1 data center or host site. More information can be found on the Level 2 Reporting (L2RPT) System webpage.
All district/BOCES chief information officers have access to L2RPT/Cognos. The SED Public Reports Portal provides a report of Active Institutions Contact Info for Information Officers.
