Selection Criteria for the TN08 Report

The following selection criteria can be used as a check list to search for a ADA/ADM problems:

• Student criteria
• The student must be enrolled in the school during the reporting period selected at report runtime.
• Attendance is only calculated for sections in which the student is enrolled that are not marked as Exclude from Attendance.
• The student must have an entry code that is valid, i.e. E, E1, EC, TR, TC.
• Special education students (Options 07, 08, and 09) must have a current year primary option of 07, 08, or 09 and a beginning and ending date within the school calendar. End dates are as critical as begin dates.
• Bell schedules
• The TN08 state report does not rely on the value of the class duration field on the sections page. The times of the classes are taken from the bell schedules.
• The TN08 is only as accurate as the bell periods in school setup. Be sure that:
• The number of periods in the day are correct.
• The amount of time assigned to each period is correct.
• Thirty (30) minutes for lunch has been subtracted from the length of the instructional day as defined in the bell periods.
• Course – Vocational courses must be marked in the Department field with the appropriate vocational code, i.e. ME, TEE, TI, FCS, FCSO, HS, etc.
• Sections
• Make sure that no section is marked to exclude from attendance.
• Make sure that all sections have a period assigned (expression). Failure to do this will exclude the section and all assigned students from the TN08 report.
