The Career & Technical Education Enrollment Reporting System (CTEERS) is: • Completed each spring for juniors & seniors • Completed within each district in the CESA #3 Perkins Consortium • Turned in electronically to Sue McLimans at CESA #3, smclimans@cesa3.k12.wi.us. • Due no later than May 11, 2012.

3. Each district develops their report in a columnar layout that Sue sent to you. There is no CTEERS form. • One student record per line or row. • Do not use punctuation within the data unless the directions call for it. • The recommended file format is an Excel File (in .xls NOT .xlsx format). • If you have used another format, please speak to Sue before you begin.
