Ed-Fi: McKinney‑Vento Descriptor for TN Student Programs

The McKinney‑Vento descriptor has been updated to publish in the Student Homeless Program resource when the McKinney Vento field is set to “Yes” on the TN Student Information page. Previously, this value was not included in Ed‑Fi publishing, resulting in missing data.

Ed-Fi: Update to Student Demographics Resource to Publish Student CTSO Information

Updated the Student Demographics (studentEducationOrganizationAssociations) resource to remove the hardcoded DECA value and publish all active CTSO club names configured for each student. CTSO data is now filtered by school and term dates, ensuring each school’s demographic record includes only the CTSO memberships applicable to that school and school year. If a student has multiple active CTSO memberships within the term, all applicable memberships will be published.

Note: Publish the Student Demographics resource category from the Data Exchange dashboard using either Publish Changes or Publish All for these changes to take effect.
