If option #12 is selected, the student must be 3-years old as of September 30. If option #3 is selected, the student must be 4-years old as of September 30 of the system clocks year.

If the checkbox is selected, the reports look to extract the data for Student First Name, Student Last Name, Students Middle Name, and Gender from STUDENTCOREFIELDS table first. If the checkbox is not selected, reports exact the data for Student First Name, Student Last Name, Student Middle Name, and Gender from the STUDENTS table.
