The two applications described below are available for submitting data to the
SJCOE. PFT coordinators can access these applications by logging on to the
PFT Manager through the secure District Portal of the California PFT Web site
at http://www.pftdata.org/ using their LEA county code, district code, and charter
number or 0000, if the LEA is a school district or county office of education (Figure
2), and a current year PFT password. Submitting data is an easy process; however,
to demonstrate the two data submission processes, the SJCOE provides a training
module posted on the California PFT Modules, Videos, and Training Web page at
http://www.pftdata.org/training.aspx.
• Web Data Entry – Student data is entered and submitted one-by-one onto a
secure Web page data collection form. The Web Data Entry is a good option
for LEAs with small numbers of students. Data is checked for errors during
data entry, and warnings are available for immediate review after submitting
the data for each student. There is no second or additional submission
process required. The Web Data Entry application is available only from
February 1 until June 30.
• Web Data Upload – Student data files are uploaded in tab-delimited or tabseparated
formats. Once the file is uploaded, the file and data are checked,
and the PFT Coordinator is notified that the file was accepted, the number of
accepted student records, the number of student records with warnings, and
the number of student records with errors. This application is made available
during all data submission/correction windows.
