AAR Updates for EOC Substitutions and Waivers, Incomplete Grades, and ACT/SAT Scores

Additional Reference: PSSR-232717
AAR: Version 1.0.19
AAR by Number, Grade, Last Initials, or Student Selection: Version 1.0.15

The AAR reports are updated as follows:

When calculating EOC substitution assessments, additional logic is implemented to examine EOC test score records to ensure that the student has attempted the EOC assessment before displaying a substitution for the corresponding EOC subject.
The logic for AP Substitution Assessments derived from test scores is adjusted to ensure the correct EOC subject is identified.
Per TEA Guidance, courses in which students receive incomplete final grades should not be displayed on the AAR. Courses with incomplete grades as identified in the runtime parameter are excluded from the transcript.
A new runtime option for ACT and SAT assessments is added for students who have more than one set of records: "Score Reporting for Students with Multiple Test Results".
- This parameter is displayed only when the "Include ACT/SAT" option is set to Yes, and two options are offered:
  - Report 1 record with highest combined scores (existing functionality)
  - Report 2 records with highest overall scores (new functionality)
- If "Report 1 record with highest combined scores" is selected, the output is unchanged from the current display. The student's highest Composite or Total score is displayed along with the highest subject scores.
- If "Report 2 records with highest overall scores" is selected, the test records with the two highest Composite or Total scores are displayed along with the subject scores for each attempt.
