Update for Read-Only Access Field Level Security for IEP Level

When field-level security was enabled for the IEP Level field, the dropdown list displayed incorrectly for users with read-only access. The list displayed all of the dropdown list codes instead of just the selected code. This issue has been corrected on all pages where the IEP Level appears including the Enrollment Functions, Current and Previous Enrollments, and the Iowa Programs tab.
