Student Participation

The object contains information pertaining to student eligibility for and participation in an individualized special program such as special education, ESL, Section 504, etc. Multiple instances of this object may be transmitted for a particular student because the student may participate in multiple programs and because the details of a student's participation in a given program may change over time. A separate instance of this object must be generated for each program in which the student participates, and the ProgramType element is used to identify the particular program. In addition, each time the student's participation profile changes for a particular program, a new instance of this object must be generated with the appropriate value in the ProgramType element, the effective date of the new profile in StudentParticipationAsOfDate, and a new RefId.

Note: If there is a change in any of the user editable fields that are mapped to the SIF object elements, the system detects such data changes and triggers publishing. This ensures that the latest student data is consistently reflected in the State ODS.

The following table lists the elements that are published for this object:

Element Name or @Attribute	Submission	Definition	Code Set, if applicable	[Table]Field Mapping	Business Rules
@RefId	Optional	This is the unique identification code.		[Students] DCID	This is the unique identification code
@StudentPersonalRefId	Yes	The GUID of the student that this object is linked to.		[Students] DCID	The GUID of the student that this object is linked to.
StudentParticipationAsOfDate	Yes	Effective date (NOT the entry date) of this StudentParticipation instance for the identified student & program. Each time there is a change to the student's program participation profile, a new instance of this object is to be generated with the appropriate StudentParticipationAsOfDate and a new RefId.		[Students] EntryDate	Effective date (NOT the entry date) of this StudentParticipation instance for the identified student & program. Each time there is a change to the student's program participation profile, a new instance of this object is to be generated with the appropriate StudentParticipationAsOfDate and a new RefId.
ProgramType	Yes	The type of program that the student has enrolled into. The publishing logic for the Lunch Program and Economic Disadvantaged (ED) programs is updated to include both current and historical records in the current school year. Economic Disadvantaged (ED) Program Publishing When a student’s Economic Disadvantaged status changes from Yes to No, the system publishes a Program Exit Date instead of deleting the record. The ED records are published when: Economic Disadvantaged = Yes Economic Disadvantaged = No with a valid Program Exit Date (not in the future) Changes in Economic Disadvantaged during the year will generate corresponding Lunch History records, ensuring complete tracking of student participation. Lunch Program History Publishing Lunch program records are published for both current and historical entries within the current school year. The Lunch Program records are published when the lunch status is: Free (F) Reduced (R) Free Direct Certification (FDC) Reduced Direct Certification (RDC) Full Pay (P) Changes in lunch status during the year will generate corresponding Lunch History records, ensuring complete tracking of student participation. Matched Program Records Lunch and ED records have matching start and end dates. When there is a status change, they publish with contiguous start and end dates, ensuring continuity. Handle the 30-day Grace Period The Lunch and Economic Disadvantaged statuses carry over from the prior year, and districts have a 30-day grace period to reassess. The student’s entry date may fall in the previous year, while the exit date occurs in the current year. Data Source Logic Current records are published from the Students table. Historical records are published from the Lunch Status History table.			Hardcoded Value for each program
ProgramType/Code	Yes	Unique indicator that points to the codeset. The handling of Student Program records that span multiple academic years is updated. This affects the following multi-year programs: Special Education (IDEA) Section 504 Gifted & Talented (GT) English Learners (EL) Not EL Bilingual/Exited EL Immigrant Indian Education When a student exits a Student Program in the prior year, the system incorrectly processes the record as a deletion. The logic is updated to ensure that the system correctly recognizes that Student Program records can span multiple academic years. When an exit date is added that falls outside the current school year, the system will: Process an update to the existing program record. Apply the exit date based on the Leave Date calculation. Avoid deletion of valid multi-year records.	Refer to ProgramType Code.		Hardcoded Value for each program
