The following fields are created:

• The Kindergarten Program Type codes are added to the Courses and Sections pages.

It was found that the Ed-Fi Dashboard at times would show inconsistent counts with the data compared to what is in the database. This has been corrected so that the counts are accurate when refreshed.

Updated "Reset Publish Records" special operation to handle "Error" records published to the state's operational data store (ODS). This operation clears the erroneous records from the dashboard which has been already published successfully.

The operation now includes three new parameters:

• Param 1: Profile Name - indicates the Ed-Fi profile to process. Enter the exact profile name as shown on the dashboard or type "ALL" for all profiles.
• Param 2: School Year - indicates the school year to process. Enter the school year or type "ALL" for all school years.
• Param 3: Resource Name - indicates the resource to process. Enter resource name or type "ALL" for all resources.

Ed-Fi will now populate using the “MSDS School Number” for the school number associated with records. If this value not present, then the “alternate school number” will be used followed by the “school number” value.

Exclude from Ed-Fi checkbox is used for some resources and the Exclude from State Reporting checkbox is used for other resources. All resources are updated to use the Exclude from Ed-Fi checkbox.

Publish for studentDropoutRecoveryProgramAssociations and studentAdultEducationProgramAssociations were previously showing in error when published. This is corrected and they will now successfully publish.

Codeset Mapping page and choosing Residency Status Indicator, there is only a single namespace listed and that is the midatahub.org namespace.

Note: Downloading of the Descriptors is required for this change to appear.
