Special Education Downloads
This category represents the download of Special Education (SPED) data from WISEdata. The Special Education download is used to determine if a student is receiving Special Education services for Discipline reporting and October Count Date Status reporting. Requests will only be made if SPED data publishing is disabled on this system.
Notes:
- The Special Education category is only used for public schools.
- All downloaded Special Education records are stored in [SpEnrollments] where [Gen]Program = SPED_Downloads. These records are viewable, but are excluded from publishing.
- Any changes made to the downloaded Special Education data will not publish to the state ODS. Changes should be made through your SPED software to publish to the state ODS.
