This resource represents an individual for whom instruction, services, and/or care are provided in an early childhood, elementary, or secondary educational program under the jurisdiction of a school, education agency, or other institution or program. A student is a person who has been enrolled in a school or other educational institution.

At least one Student School Association record is required to be sent to Ed-Fi before a Student record can be seen in the ODS. The Student School Association is what gives a district a claim to a Student resource in the ODS.

The Student Resource is a shared record among all districts. If two districts have the same student in the same year, the last district to trigger data to Ed-Fi is the data stored in Ed-Fi.

For example, if one district put in a first name of "Robert" and the second district put in a first name of "Rob", the last district to update the student record is what will appear in Ed-Fi and on both District's reports. This is true for all field logic in the Student Resource.

Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	When an enrollment is created and saved for a person and the enrollment overlaps a configured year. Do not send it an enrollment is marked as No Show. Do not send a record if enrollment is in a Calendar marked as State Exclude. Do not send a record if enrollment is in a School marked as State Exclude.
Put	When any student data is edited for the person in the Data Elements fields below. When the person’s identity record is changed in one of the following fields: Birth City, Birth Country, Birth Date, Gender, Birth State, Date Entered US, First Name, Suffix, Last Name, Middle Name
Delete	Student records are never deleted because Student records are a shared resource among all districts.

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic
A record will report when an enrollment is created and saved that is aligned to a configured year. The enrollment must overlap with the configured year to report. Data only sends for the years that have valid configuration.
When using data in Campus that has a single date, the following logic will be applied to determine the scope year(s) in which to report data: Current Year: The record must overlap the current year. Previous Years: The record's date must be on or before the schools year's end date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 6/30/xxxx is used. Future Years: The record's date must be on or after the schools year's start date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 7/01/xxxx is used.
When using data in Campus that have start and end dates, the following logic will be applied to determine the scope year(s) iin which to report data: Current Year: The record must overlap the current year. Previous Years: The record's start date must be on or before the school year's end date and the record's end date must be after the school year's end date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 6/30/xxxx is used. Future Years: The record's start date must be on or before the schools year's start date and the record's end date must be on or after the school year's start date defined in the School Years editor. If blank, the default date of 7/01/xxxx is used.

Identity Mapping Object Key

This table describes the Identity Mapping Object Key of this object.

campusObjectType	Object Key Data Source
Person	personID

If a Student and Student School Association record has been sent for a student, a Student and Student School Association record will be logged in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table. If the student's enrollment is deleted or their Ed-Fi ID is changed while the Student and/or Student School Association Resource Preference is turned off, the old record and resource id will remain in the table until the resource is turned back on and a resync is performed on either Students or Student School Associations.
The Students and Student School Associations records will be deleted from the identity mapping table if all enrollments that were sent to Ed-Fi are deleted.
