  3. Select the appropriate fiscal year.

  4. Select your district from the organizations list and click next.

  5. Use the drop down menus to select the schedule, line, and column for the amendment that you want to make. If the change impacts Schedule 3, a dropdown menu with your school list will appear, select the appropriate school report.

  6. Enter the original entry and the correct entry in their respective boxes. Please remember to match the original entry to the decimal point to facilitate processing.
