New Nightly Auto-Code Process for Non-Membership Discipline Restraint Indicator

TX Interchange Student Discipline: Version 22.4.2
TX Interchange Student Restraint: Version 22.4.2
A new auto-code process is now implemented to automatically update the Non-Membership Displine Restraint Indicator values in Incident Management and Student Restraint records based on changes to student ADA Eligibility Code, and to the Special Education program record.

  • A new preference is added to the Texas Preferences panel in District Setup to allow the district to set the time for the auto-code process. The default is 2:30 am.

  • This indicator applies when a Special Ed student with ADA Code 0 during the entire year has at least one state-reportable discipline or restraint record, which then requires that the student be included in the Summer PEIMS submission.

  • The new auto-code process ensures that the values saved in the database and displayed in the UI remain correct when a student's ADA Eligibility Code or Special Ed status changes, and when new discipline or restraint records are added.

  • Instead of calculating this indicator on the fly, the interchanges now source this data element from the fields saved in the database. The indicator displays as read-only in the Incident Action record and/or in the Student Restraint record.

    • ADA Period Output for schools with multiple ADA Periods

      • If the student has a scheduled class in just one of the ADA periods, only that period displays.

      • If the student has scheduled classes in more than one ADA period, each one displays.

      • If the student has no scheduled class in any ADA period: all ADA periods display with a dash character to flag this error condition.
