Publishing Logic
The District must download the descriptors and the graduation plans available on the Data Exchange Dashboard from the District Office.
The student must be a 9th grader.
As per DOE guidelines, a student can have multiple graduation plans during the same date range. A graduation plan can be marked as Primary by choosing a value in the field [S_STU_Graduation_Pathway_C]SEALTYPE.
Only one graduation plan can be marked as Primary for a date range, and the other graduation plans must be marked as alternative.
The alternative graduation plans for the same date range and the same school will get published as a part of the same JSON and the same record under alternativeGraduationPlanReference.
The year for the GraduationSchoolYear will come from the year entered in the Graduation Date ([S_IN_STU_X]Graduation_Date).
