I am in my first year in this position; was not aware of it. I was given information from my superintendent, but honestly do not remember how to access the data.

I have not tracked the completion of the FAFSA.

I do not know how to use it….Not sure if everything is set up for our district.

We base it off of who has applied to college; applied to a specific scholarship that requires that information; and recently, held a workshop and just marked off the students that attended those.

As much as the system allows.
