    • Report Expected Graduation Date using the value stored in the ExpectedGradDate student field. If this value is null, no value will be extracted for this field.
  3. If the student has completed their high school career but has not yet been graduated/ promoted in PowerSchool (EOY) and the following fields are populated with valid values:
      • Exit code
      • Completion status

When running the report, sub-district users now see an additional parameter to select a specific sub-district. Lines A-1 and A-2 aggregate ADA from only those students enrolled in schools belonging to the selected sub-district. Lines A-3 through A-8 pull values from the aforementioned District Info screen assigned to the specific combination of district of residence, reporting period, and sub-district. The report header now displays the sub-district name and number in place of the server-level values (from the prefs table). Only schools belonging to the selected sub-district are considered when searching for the county name.

Users who do not enable sub-districts will not see any change to the report or associated setup.
