State Reporting 23.3.2.0 Release Notes

Ed-Fi Framework: Failed Delete Events Incorrectly Being Removed From The Dashboard

Problem: The order and timing of deletes were not always occurring correctly based on the dependencies of each resource. For example, when a section is deleted, events are generated for section, studentSectionAssignment, staffSectionAssignment, etc. These records are processed in any order, however, a section cannot be deleted until all dependent resources have been deleted. This resulted in a failed delete with the state ODS and this failure is not communicated back to the user, thus leaving the ODS and PowerSchool out of sync.

Solution: When delete events are published, they will now occur with the lowest record first back up to the highest record. This will result in studentSectionAssignment and staffSectionAssignment being published before the section is published. This may not work correctly each time due to simultaneous publishing. If a record fails, it now appears in the Errors section on the dashboard with an error from the ODS stating that there is a dependency preventing the record from being deleted. The record will then retry the delete every 10 minutes up to 1 hour. After 1 hour, the record will remain as an error and reconciliation will need to be run to remove the dependencies.

Publishing Update to the specialEducationProgramAssociation Records

With this State Reporting Release, we have updated the values in the Timeline Compliance and in the Special Education Reason for Termination drop-down list. And, we have also made a minor change to the publishing logic of the specialEducationProgramAssociation records. For scenarios in which a student has multiple school enrollments with different schools within the same District in the current session and the student only has a special education record created for the current enrollment. As per the DOE guidelines, an IEP Review Date is required to avoid the duplicate publishing of the records.
