Choosing a new template will overwrite the existing ER.
Be sure the current ER is finalized before you choose a new template.

<WRAP right round tip 40%>
It's a good idea to always start an evaluation with a new template. This helps to ensure that all the current tests and criteria are included in the ER.

  - Navigate to the "Forms Menu" for a student.
  - Click on "Evaluation Report".
  - If an ER already exists, and you would like to overwrite the existing one, click "New evaluation report" (1). There are safeguards in place to prevent selecting a new template if others are still working in the current ER.
  - A warning will appear. You will be asked to click "Confirm" to continue.
  - The following page will ask you to "Please choose an evaluation report template".
  - There are two types of templates available.
      - SpEd Forms Templates for each of the major disability areas used statewide.
      - Local District Templates created by your school district or cooperative.
  - Click on the "Select" button next to the template you wish to use.
  - You will be asked to confirm that you want to select a new template again.
  - The template will be automatically entered into the evaluation report, overwritting the old template, and you will be taken to the evaluation report menu.
