K - Special Education Programs File 2020-2021
Introduction
The Student Special Education Programs includes one record for each student enrollment in a Special Education Program during the current school year. If a student enters, exits, and re-enters the Special Education Program, there should be two records to reflect the two enrollments.
Many Education records are not loading into CEDARS due to the error "SpecEdPrograms.ExitReasonCode must be 1, 2, 3, or 4." Use the following methods to avoid this error:
- If a student receiving Special Education services exits your district, leave both the Special Education Exit Date (Element K08) and the Special Education Exit Reason Code (Element K09) blank, unless the student has stopped receiving Special Education services for one of the four valid values listed in Exit Reason Code before exiting your district.
- If a student receiving Special Education services exits a school and re-enrolls into another school in your district, change the Location ID (Element K05) of the Special Education record to reflect the new school at which the student is receiving Special Education services.
