The At Risk tool records appropriate programs in which the student is participating to provide at-risk students with additional educational opportunities, interventions and evidence-based instructional services to assist in meeting state outcomes (KSDE definition).
A student can have overlapping records when the Program Status field is not the same as the other record. For example, when a student has an At Risk record with a Program Status of 2: Preschool Aged At Risk, they can also have a record with a Program Status of 1: At Risk that overlaps.
