Term Info

This object provides information about a school term which is a reportable period of time. Term info records are published for each term within the school year.

Note: This resource is enabled to publish for Charter Schools (using the Sub-Districts feature) from Organization Calendars.

If there is a change in any of the user editable fields that are mapped to the SIF object elements, the system detects such data changes and triggers publishing. This ensures that the latest student data is consistently reflected in the State ODS.
