IL Concurrent Enrollment RCDTS Issue after EOY

Resolved an issue where the RCDTS Home School Number on historical concurrent enrollments was incorrectly updated to the student's current home school after End-of-Year (EOY) processing. Historical records now correctly retain the RCDTS code associated with the student's home school at the time of the original enrollment.

Resolved an issue where disciplinary action records were duplicated for students with concurrent enrollments when the incident was reported by the concurrent school. The report now correctly synthesizes these records to ensure each assigned action is only reported once.

A new function streamlines moving concurrent student enrollments between school years. From the student home page, go to New → School Enrolment → IL- Concurrent Rollover. For selected students, this option updates the previous year's concurrent enrollment end dates to the last day of that school year and creates new enrollment records for the chosen term in the upcoming year.
