Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post	Report one record for each Primary/Secondary SPED Services School with a student having a new IEP created and saved for a student and locked in a given scope year. When a student has multiple overlapping enrollments within the primary/secondary school, report from the enrollment with a Local Service Type of 'P: Primary'. When a student has multiple overlapping enrollments within the primary/secondary school, but no 'P: Primary' enrollment, report the 'T: AOI' enrollment. When a student has multiple overlapping enrollments within the primary/secondary school, but no 'P: Primary' or 'T: AOI' enrollment, report the most recent 'A: Ancillary' enrollment. When a student has multiple overlapping enrollments within the primary/secondary school, but no 'P: Primary', 'T: AOI', or 'A: Ancillary' enrollment, report the most recent 'O: Program Only' enrollment. When Primary/Secondary Services dropdowns are not populated, report from the enrollment that overlaps the IEP dates that has a IC Service Type of 'P: Primary'. IEP start date must be on or after enrollment start date and on or before enrollment end date. Does not send a record for an enrollment that is marked as State Exclude or No Show. Does not send a record when the enrollment is in a calendar marked as State Exclude. Does not send a record when the enrollment Start Status = E: NON-SAIS DISTRICT USE ONLY!.
Post	When a new enrollment is created for a student that has an existing IEP. Enrollment start date must be after IEP start date. IEP end date must be NULL or after Enrollment start date. When the student has more than one IEP started in previous schools years, only report the most recent IEP.
Delete/Post	When a start date is entered or changed for an existing record. When the resource was posted from the IEP, updates when the start date was changed. When the resource was posted from the Enrollment, updates when the start date was changed.
Put	When a end date is entered or changed for an existing record. When the resource was posted from the IEP, updates when the start date was changed. When the resource was posted from Enrollment, updates when start date was changed.
Delete/Post	When the student has two locked IEPs with the same start date and 1 record is deleted or unlocked, the remaining IEP will post.
Delete/Post	When an enrollment end date is entered for a student with a valid enrollment end status: W1-W13.
Delete/Post	When an Exit Eval is entered for a student, update the end date of the active IEP.
Delete	IEP is deleted for a student.
Delete	When a student's enrollment Start Status is changed from a valid code to E: NON-SAIS DISTRICT USE ONLY! and saved.
Delete	When an existing enrollment is marked as State Exclude or No Show.
Delete	When the IEP Start or End Dates OR the Enrollment Start or End Dates have been updated so the IEP and Enrollment no longer overlap, delete the record when one was created.
Delete	When a plan is unlocked.

School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

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

Action	Trigger
None	When a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
Resync	When 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.
Resync	When 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.
Resync	When a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.

Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

Action	Trigger
Post/Delete	Natural Key changes: when the IEP Start Date changes the resource will delete/repost.
Delete	Cascading Deletes: N/A there are no dependent resources.

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Business Rules
The record will send to any year the IEP or State Reporting record overlaps with.
Data will only send for the years that have valid configuration.

beginDate

The month, day, and year on which the student first received services.

Reports the plan start date from the IEP when:
- IEP Start Date is after enrollment Start Date.
- Enrollment End Date must be NULL or after IEP start date.
Also reports the start date from the Amended IEP when the original plan has been amended, or the 2nd consecutive plan, but reports it with the second Student Special Education Program Association record.
Reports the Enrollment Start Date when:
- Enrollment Start Date is after the IEP Start Date.
- IEP End Date is after the Enrollment Start Date.

Notes:

When there are enrollments with an end status of ZZZ and a subsequent enrollment with a start status of ZZZ, the enrollments are combined and the earliest start date (where the start status is NOT ZZZ) reports for the enrollment start date.
- Note: the enrollments must be in the same school, grade, and local service type. Also, the enrollment start date must be the next instructional day after the ZZZ end status, or be before or equal to the ZZZ end status.
The enrollment that is tied to the primary/secondary services school when populated is used; otherwise, the enrollment that has Service Type of P: Primary is used.

When the Enrollment End Date is NOT null:
- Reports the earliest of the following dates:
  - Exit Date from the most recent Evaluation of the type 'Exit'.
  - Enrollment End Date
  - IEP End Date
When Enrollment End Date IS null:
- When an IEP exists starting immediately after an existing plan or an IEP has an end date that is prior to the last instructional day of the school year or the most recent Evaluation of type 'Exit' has an exit reason of SPED01 or SPED09, reports the earliest of the IEP end date and Evaluation Exit Date.
  - When an IEP does not have an end date and a new IEP is created, reports the last instructional day that occurs right before the start date of the new IEP.
Otherwise, reports blank.

Notes:

Whichever end date is sending (minimum of plan end, exit evaluation or enrollment end date), when it is not an instructional date, the most previous instructional date is sent.
When there are multiple enrollments that all start before the IEP starts, the following logic is used to determine which enrollment to use to calculate the end date:
- When reporting from the Primary SPED Services School, the enrollment tied to the Primary SPED Services School is always used for the enrollment start date.
- When reporting from the Secondary SPED Services School, the enrollment tied to the Secondary SPED Services School is always used for the enrollment start date
- Otherwise, reports from the enrollment that has a Service Type of P: Primary.
When here are enrollments with an end status of ZZZ and a subsequent enrollment with a start status of ZZZ, the enrollments are combined and the latest end date (where the end status is NOT ZZZ) for the enrollment end date reports.
- Note: the enrollments must be in the same school, grade, and local service type. Also, the enrollment start date must be the next instructional day after the ZZZ end status, or be before or equal to the ZZZ end status.
