Students are selected for the report as follows:
- Students who have absences between the report start and end dates
- Students who are enrolled at some point between the report start and report end dates
- Student who are not flagged to be excluded from state reporting
Notes:
This report can be used to edit/update/add data to the S_OH_STU_Meeting_C table via the Import Data Manager function.
Results with blank values for the S_OH_STU_Meeting_C table fields indicate that the absence was entered without entering a time in and time out. Users do NOT need to import data into this table for these records unless edits are required.
These absences will be included in all EMIS reports as expected.
