When a new EL program eligibility history record is created, with an Education Program Code of (307) LIP - Parent Opted Out of EL Program, the record did not appear on the ELA Status/Program History page as expected. Instead, it was listed on the Program Eligibility Page, which is not intended to show LIP programs.

PSSR-255541New Report - Student Participation and Engagement By Student

Student Participation and Engagement By Student - Version 1.0

A new admin report is introduced pertaining to students' weekly engagement and daily participation tracking. Like the recently released Student Participation and Engagement By Class, this report outputs data that has been verified and stored via the Combined Daily Participation and Weekly Engagement Template in the teachers' portal. The main difference is that this report focuses on the student-level daily participation codes, and organizes it on a per-student basis. Each selected student gets his or her own distinct section of the output. Within that section, a table is rendered for each class the student was enrolled in, for which a teacher has submitted a verified form, during the selected date range. Within each table, a row is generated for each certified week, showing the codes for each of the five days.

PSSR-239927Student Incident Records (SINC) Update to Handle Differing Action Attributes

Student Incident Records (SINC) - Version 1.8

When more than one action was attached to the same offender in an incident, and the actions had different values in either "Instructional Support Indicator" or "Removal to Interim Alternative Setting," the report would output multiple rows for that offender/incident, one for each distinct combination of the two values. This would cause submission errors, as only one record should be reported per offender/incident.

The report is updated to output only one row when multiple actions differ in attribute values. For "Instructional Support Indicator," if any attached action has a value of Y, the combined value will be Y. For "Removal to Interim Alternative Setting," the order of precedence is 1,2,3. A blank value is reported only if no attached action has a value populated for this attribute.

PSSR-241916Work-Based Learning Extract (WBLR) for 20-21 EOY 1 Submission

Work-Based Learning Extract (WBLR) - Version 1.0
Work-Based Learning (WBLR) extract is added for the 20-21 EOY 1 submission period. This extract is used to submit work-based learning completion information about a student. The school district or local education agency (LEA) must submit work-based learning completion information for students in any grades 9-12.
