AzEDS 21-22 : Learning Modality Publishing Updates

AzEDS Student Attendance publishing is updated to include Learning Modality transactions when student attendance records are generated as part of publishing.

• Learning Modality transactions are published as part of Student Attendance

• At least one Learning Modality record will be published for students meeting the below criteria:

  • The student is enrolled in a Special Program designated as a ‘Distance Learning’ special program (on the Special Program setup screen at District Office), and

  • The student either has at least one Distance Learning attendance code for the day, or

  • The student is enrolled in a class where the class meets in a Bell Schedule period flagged as ‘Remote’ for the DL program the student is enrolled in for the day.

• For every day meeting the above criteria, AzEDS publishing will send either an ‘In Attendance - DL’ record, an ‘Absence - DL’ record, or both records, depending on the student’s presence and absence status on the date of distance learning.

  • If the student was absent for any portion of the day, an ‘Excused’ or ‘Unexcused’ transaction is also published.

• Note: Currently AzEDS publishing is updated to only support full-day Distance Learning students. Support for partial day Distance Learning students will be implemented in a future state reporting update.
