PSSR-411691

Ed-Fi Framework: Optimized Student Publishing Selection

When publishing Ed-Fi data for selected students, the system now processes only the specific schools where those students have an active enrollment, re-enrollment, or course schedule record for the current school year. Previously, student selection requests evaluated all schools within the district regardless of enrollment status. This update eliminates unnecessary background processing and significantly improves publishing speed and efficiency.

Ed-Fi Framework: Publish All Staff Records

District administrators can now publish all eligible staff data - including previously unpublished records directly from the staff publishing page.

Publish All Records: A new Publish All Records button is available on the Staff > Data Exchange > Publishing page alongside the existing Republish Records option. Selecting this option submits all eligible data across all enabled Ed-Fi resources for the selected staff member, capturing both new/unpublished records and existing entries.

Ed-Fi Framework: Publishing Dependency Updates

School publishing now automatically waits for the associated LEA publish to complete in Ed-Fi, preventing concurrent publishing errors.

PSSR-450753

Ed-Fi Framework: Updates to Org Id Format

Updated the Ed-Fi Self Service publishing process so that localEducationAgencyId, schoolId, and educationOrganizationId are formatted as numeric values rather than text strings. Any leading zeroes are now automatically stripped prior to publishing.

Student School Association Instruction Type Publishing & Date Range Segmentation

To support 2026–2027 New Mexico Public Education Department (NMPED) reporting requirements, PowerSchool Data Exchange has been updated to publish the StudentSchoolAssociationInstructionType resource under a new Student Instruction Type category.

Key Updates & Functionality:

• New Data Exchange Resource: Added the nmped_studentSchoolAssociationInstructionType resource endpoint (/nmped/studentSchoolAssociationInstructionTypes).

• Hierarchical Logic & Overrides:

  • School Default: Uses the school-level instruction type setting (S_NM_SCH_X.InstructionType) as the default for all enrolled students.

  • Student Override: Student-level records (S_NM_STU_InstructionType_C) supersede school-level defaults for specified date ranges. Any unmapped dates within an enrollment continue to use the school default.

• Date Range Segmentation & Boundary Splitting:

  • Instruction Type records automatically split at enrollment boundaries when student overrides span multiple StudentSchoolAssociation records.

  • Only dates falling within an active student enrollment are published.
