Direct Certification Status Descriptor Set

The publishing of this resource is updated so that this element (directCertificationStatusDescriptor) is always present. If a student's Economic Disadvantage Status Code value is blank, then this element is published as blank and if it has a valid value, then a valid descriptor is published.

Note: If the Food Service program record pertains to a previous school enrollment, the logic will first look at the appropriate field in the S_NM_REN_X extension. If that field is blank, the logic will then look at the field value in the S_NM_STU_X extension.

String

[S_NM_STU_X]EconomicDisAdvCode

Food Service program records for a previous school enrollment:

[S_NM_REN_X]EconomicDisAdvCode

R

Note: To accurately publish NOVA record types by school enrollment, the logic has been updated to look at ReEnrollment level fields, on a student's Edit Previous Enrollment screen, when publishing NOVA related elements. If the data being reported for a previous school enrollment needs to be corrected, the value in question must be corrected by editing the appropriate field on the appropriate Edit Previous Enrollment screen.
