AMTR Help /TCO / AMTR DATA ENTRY / Reports
The AMTR is open year round. On June 30th of each year, data will be pulled down for the School Report Card. Please make sure by June 30th your data is accurate and ready for the School Report Card. If you have any questions about the AMTR, please contact Melanie Honeycutt at mhoneycutt@dpi.state.nc.us
The Annual Media and Technology Report (AMTR), a legislatively mandated instrument, provides data on school media and technology programs to school, district, and state level stakeholders. The information is based on the school and district level media and technology inventories on July 1 of each year. This report gives both the legislature and the public a yearly snapshot of the state of media and technology programs in North Carolina's schools.
Questions included in this report are based on the requirements in the North Carolina Educational Technology Plan and requests for data from agencies within the NCDPI and state government. Accuracy is essential as this data can affect fund allocations from state and federal agencies. Contact Melanie Honeycutt at mhoneycutt@dpi.state.nc.us for questions and clarifications as well as Password and Login assistance.
Once collected and analyzed, this data is used by:
- The federal and state governments
- N.C. State Board of Education
- Other divisions of the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI)
- LEAs
- The public
Frequently budgetary and resource allocation decisions are impacted by this data. The data may be used:
- To determine eligibility for grant funding
- To support the needs addressed in grant proposals
- To evaluate and improve school media and technology programs
Data and reports generated from this data are disseminated:
- At state and national conferences
- In publications at the national, state and local levels
- On NCDPI websites
- As part of the ABC Report Card process
Data Entry:
- Schools will be required to use their LEA-School Number (i.e., 360-336) and a password to enter the AMTR site. Passwords can be obtained from district technology coordinators.
- Each section on the AMTR must be saved before moving to the next section by clicking the SAVE button at the bottom of each screen.
- This saves the data entered up to that point on the AMTR server at NCDPI. Each section has a 10-minute time-out feature. Any data entered should be saved within this 10-minute interval. Partially completed sections can be saved and retrieved later for completion. Changes can be made to any section until a cut-off date established by your LEA, or June 30 at the latest.
While the completed report is due online by 7:30 AM, June 30, 2008, Local School Districts (LEAs) will determine the date when each school must have their portions of this document completed. Most LEAs will set a date which insures that the data is entered and verified prior to school media and technology personnel leaving for their summer break. Help screens for answers to questions or clarifications are located at AMTR HELP 2008.
If schools are not in the database, submit your schools information to Melanie Honeycutt < mhoneycutt@dpi.state.nc.us>. The information from this survey is used to complete each School's and each District's State Report Card.
The AMTR website will work with any browser, however, there are differences in the appearance depending on the browser you use.

Special Note For Charter Schools
Each Charter School must enter district level information from the Individual School entry area by entering their LEA number followed by -000 (example - 53A-000) and your password. Charter Schools should not enter any information in the School Districts area. While technically Charter Schools are their own school district, for data collection purposes, they should use the Individual School area to enter their information.

The TCO Calculator is available.The Excel TCO document can be downloaded at the TCO site. The TCO survey will be due on or before October 1, 2009. If you have questions about TCO, please address them to Melanie Honeycutt by email at mhoneycutt@dpi.state.nc.us or by phone at 919-606-7423.
