IA SIF Unity Advisor Value Not Publishing in Student School Enrollment

The issue where Advisor information failed to publish for students pre-enrolled before the first day of school has been resolved. The system was incorrectly excluding enrollments dated on the first in-session day. The comparison logic has been updated to include these enrollments, ensuring all Advisor data syncs properly.

PSSR-450722

IA SIF Unity Failure for Student Demographic

Districts using SIF Unity experienced publishing failures for Student Personal and Student Demographic records when a student had multiple race codes that mapped to the same Iowa state reporting code. This caused a database unique constraint error (ORA-00001). The StudentRace staging selection logic has been updated to eliminate duplicate records per student for identical mapped state codes, resolving the publishing failure.

IA SIF Unity: Added Individual Health Plan Publishing in StudentSchoolEnrollment
