Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Post

Special Education:
  • When a student in the year and calendar reporting has the following:
      1. A locked IEP:
          a). IEP has a Special Ed Program(s) mapped to a state code with an Ed-Fi Code.
          b).  Print Format: ‘miIEP%’.

           2. A locked NPSP:

               a). NPSP has a Special Ed Program(s) mapped to a state code with an Ed-Fi Code.

               b). Print Format: 'miNPSP%'


  • IEP/NPSP must overlap an enrollment.
  • An IEP will trump an IFSP if more than one document is found with the same Start Date.
  • If the student has multiple enrollments that are overlapping in the same school and year, report based on Service Type:
    1. P: Primary
    2. S: Partial
    3. N: Special Ed
  • If the student only has one enrollment, report a record regardless of Service Type.
  • Do not send a student record for an enrollment that is marked as State Exclude or No Show.
  • Do not send a record if enrollment is in a calendar marked as Exclude.
  • Do not send a record if enrollment is in a School marked as Exclude.

Post





When a new enrollment is created for a student that has an active IEP/IFSP:

  • Enrollment start date must be after IEP/IFSP start date.
  • IEP/IFSP end date must be NULL or after Enrollment start date.

Delete/Post

When a SPED Entry Date is changed (see reporting logic below in beginDate)

Put

When any field that is not part of the natural key is changed, including the following:

  • endDate
  • reasonExitedDescriptor
  • section52FTE
  • section53FTE
PutFields in the Evaluation/ESR will trigger a Put:
  • partCTransitionTimelinessDescriptor
  • resultOfInitialIEPDescriptor
  • timelinessOfInitialIEPDescriptor
  • initialIEPCompletionDate

Delete

A Sped Start Date is changed for a student.

Delete

All overlapping enrollments are deleted for a school.

Resource Toggle/Resync Logic

This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
ResyncIf a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.
ResyncIf the Student Special Education Program Association is toggled off, do not delete records from this resource in the State ODS when resyncing.


Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

SPED: Record will report for each year where an active IEP or IFSP record exists.

IEP/IFSP Start or End Date must occur within the Scope Year.

IEP/IFSP must have at least one Special Ed Program or Early Intervention Service with Start or End Date that occurs within the Scope Year.

If the school year Start and End Date = Null, then report 07/01/XXXX as the Start Date and an End Date of 06/30/XXXX.
