Early Childhood Outcomes Report 

Report Logic

One record reports per student receiving Special Education services who has at least one valid COSF Evaluation.

  • The student must be actively enrolled in the selected calendar on the report editor as of the  entered effective date.  
    • The student's enrollment start date must be before or the same as the entered Effective Date and the enrollment end date must be blank or after the entered effective date).
    • When there are multiple enrollments, the enrollment with the most recent start date reports. When there are multiple enrollments with the same start date, the enrollment with the lowest enrollmentID reports.
  • The student must be enrolled in a state grade level of Pre-K (14) and be considered as Special Education.
  • Any type of enrollment reports (Partial, Primary, Special Education).
  • The student must meet one of the following: 
    • Have a locked IEP that has a start date before or equal to the entered effective date and an end date after or equal to the effective date.
    • Have the Special Education Status/IEP checkbox marked and the Private School Indicator checkbox not marked on their enrollment record.
    • Have a locked Evaluation Format Type of Entry or Progress that is locked with one of the following:
      • ilCOSF16
      • ilCOSF17
      • ilCOSF18

In order to report In Progress data (fields 17-31 in the report), the student must have an Evaluation Format Type of Entry Progress that is locked of one of the following: 

  • ilCOSF16
  • ilCOSF17
  • ilCOSF18

When the student has multiple evaluations, the evaluation with the most recent start date reports. When there are multiple evaluations with the same start date, the evaluation with the lowest evalID reports. 

If there are no evaluations that meet this criteria, fields 17-31 report blank. 

Students are not included when State Exclude options are marked:

  • The Enrollment record is marked as State Exclude or No Show.
  • The Grade Level is marked as State Exclude.
  • The selected Calendar is marked as State Exclude.

When a student has both an Entry record and a Progress record, the Progress record reports.
