PSSR-353706

NOVA - ReEnrollment Level Publishing Logic Updates

Additional References: PSSR-353862, PSSR-353863, PSSR-383903
In order to more accurately publish NOVA record types by school enrollment, the logic has been updated and will now look at ReEnrollment level fields, on a student's Edit Previous Enrollment screen, when publishing NOVA related elements.

Due to these changes, it is imperative that if 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.

These changes impact the following resources:

  • StudentSpecialEducationProgramAssociation

  • StudentSpecialEducationAssociationEvents

  • StudentSchoolFoodServiceProgramAssociations

  • StudentMigrantEducationProgramAssociations

PSSR-384510

NOVA - Student Assessment Updates

A typo in the Item Description for the subtest “ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE” has been corrected, ensuring consistency between the specification and publishing logic.

PSSR-385444

NOVA - StudentSchoolAssociation - entryTypeDescriptor and exitWithdrawTypeDescriptor Logic Updates

The logic updates for the entryTypeDescriptor and exitWithdrawTypeDescriptor elements in the StudentSchoolAssociation resource have been updated to provide LEAs flexibility in maintaining the Entry and Exit Codes in PowerSchool. The changes involve honoring specific configuration fields within the EntryCode and ExitCode Code Sets in PowerSchool.

If a Code has a Reported Value assigned, the Reported Value will be published instead of the Code itself. The logic will validate the Code (or Reported Value) based on the presence of Start Date and End Date. If the date of publishing falls between the Start and End Dates of the code, then the Code (or its Reported value) is considered valid.

If the Exclude from State Reporting checkbox is set for an assigned Code, that Code will not be published. A blank will be published instead.

These changes aim to allow for the use of deprecated/retired codes, enable users to utilize local codes and report a valid NOVA value, and permit the use of local codes when NOVA entry/exit codes are not required, ensuring the value is not published.

PSSR-387926

NOVA - Updates to prevent deletion of Student Identification (students) records when the student is enrolled in the next school year

When an enrollment was created in the next school year, either through EOY or manually, deletes were being sent for the Student Identification (students) resource and all dependent resources. This has now been addressed.

PSSR-371101

Staff Development Fact Records UI Display Issue

If the year abbreviation was not created in the XX-XX (i.e. 24-25) format, Staff Development fact records, once created, did not display in the UI.

This has been corrected and now records with these different term abbreviations will display as expected.
