Report Logic

People do not display on the report unless there is a relationship relative to a student being reported. In the instance of a student (Student A) being a member of Household 1 and Household 2, and another student (Student B) being a member of Household 1, Student B displays as a household member for Student A in Household 1 and a Non-Household Contact for Student A in Household 2. This is due to how non-household contacts are constructed. A person can be specifically added as a non-household contact or by being in a household with a person, which automatically makes the first person become a non-household contact in any other household in which the second person belongs.

Information included on the Census Verification Report reports from the following areas in the Census module:

Active Address information is based on the End Date entered on the address. This end date is inclusive of the last day. For example, when the address is ended for a household as of September 19, that address is considered active until the next day (September 20), at which point the new address is active and prints on reports and displays on the Summary page.

The following information is pulled from Student Information:

The table below provides information on the fields included in the report from the respective areas above.

Report Editor

The following provides information on the available options on the Census Verification Report Editor.

When fields are chosen to be included in the report, but no data is stored in Infinite Campus for that field, the item still appears on the report but does not contain any data.

Field	Description
Student Selection	The Census Verification Report allows students to be selected by choosing which grade levels or by selecting an Ad hoc Filter. The report can also be generated to include all students in the school who are currently enrolled and have ended enrollment, or just for those active students. The default selection is by Grade. When generating the report for Active Students Only, an Effective Date must be entered. When the Active Students Only checkbox is marked, select students by choosing grade levels (not an ad hoc filter).
Household Selection	The following options are available: Primary Households Secondary Households Non-Household Guardian Information At least one option must be selected in order for the report to generate. The default selection is Primary Households. All students appear when this option is chosen; however, when a student does NOT have a primary household, the report for that student reads "lastName, firstName has incomplete Census data and does not belong to a primary household." When selecting Secondary Households, only students who have at least one secondary household are included (meaning, a student who only has a primary household does not print when only the Secondary Households option is chosen). When selection both Secondary Households and Primary Households, both household types are included on the report. When selecting Non-household Guardian Information, a page only prints for a student when that student has a Non-Household Contact with a guardian relationship and that guardian is a member of a household.
Optional Information Selection	Additional information that can be selected includes race/ethnicity data, student pictures, transportation data and health conditions. The following is a list of the optional items that can be selected: Non-household Relationship Contact Information (default selection) (This returns individuals who have a relationship record but do not share any households). Student Race/Ethnicity Information (default selection) Include Race Options as checkboxes Guardian Race/Ethnicity Information Include Race Options as checkboxes Health Conditions Flagged Conditions Only Transportation Bus Information Transportation Parking Information Student Pictures District Name in Header Resident District - Only for Kentucky Districts Transportation data looks at a specific date from which to pull data. When the Active Students Only option is selected, the transportation record that is active on the date entered is used. When no transportation record is active on that date but the student has a record starting in the future, that data is used. When a student has no transportation data on that day or in the future, the section reports blank.
Privacy Options	Mark the desired privacy options to include - Birth Date, Social Security Number and/or Student ID. The default option is Include Birth Date. The Social Security Number selection is only available when a user has the Social Security number Tool Rights assigned.
Sort Options	Select the appropriate sort option for the report. The following options and logic applies: By Student - report generates in alphabetic order by the student's last name By Grade/Student - report generates in grade level order, alphabetic by student's last name By Homeroom Teacher - report generates based on the student's assigned homeroom teacher (this option looks at both the Course and Section data to determine homeroom teachers) When the Active Students Only checkbox is NOT marked, the date the report is generated is the "reporting date." When the report is generated after the last day of the first term for the selected calendar, the first instructional day of the calendar is the "reporting date." When the report is generated before the first day of the first term for the selected calendar, the first instructional day of the calendar is the "reporting date." When the Active Student Only checkbox is marked, the Enrollment Effective Date is the "reporting date." When the student is scheduled into two more reportable sections relative to the report options, the section with the lowest section ID is used for sorting/report. Note the following: A teacher from a section of a course that does not have the Active flag checked never reports when using the Sort by Teacher/Period logic. A teacher from a section of a course that is marked as Homeroom (on the course or on the section) but does not have the Active flag checked never reports when using the Sort by Homeroom logic. When the student does not have a course section flagged as Homeroom, the student reports as N/A for Homeroom Teacher. When the student is in a course section that has had a change in Primary Teacher, the teacher who is active on the "reporting date" is used. By Teacher/Period - report generates based on the selected teacher, period, period schedule and term selected in the corresponding dropdown list. ONLY students who meet the criteria entered print on the report. When a Teacher is chosen for Period 4, only students scheduled into that teacher's class section for that period appears. When the Active Students Only checkbox is NOT marked, the date the report is generated is the "reporting date." When the report is generated after the last day of the first term for the selected calendar, the first instructional day of the calendar is the "reporting date." When the report is generated before the first day of the first term for the selected calendar, the first instructional day of the calendar is the "reporting date." When the Active Student Only checkbox is marked, the Enrollment Effective Date is the "reporting date." When the student is scheduled into two more reportable sections relative to the report options, the section with the lowest section ID is used for sorting/report. Note the following: A teacher from a section of a course that does not have the Active flag checked never reports when using the Sort by Teacher/Period logic. A teacher from a section of a course that is marked as Homeroom (on the course or on the section) but does not have the Active flag checked never reports when using the Sort by Homeroom logic. When the student does not have a course section flagged as Homeroom, the student reports as N/A for Homeroom Teacher. When the student is in a course section that has had a change in Primary Teacher, the teacher who is active on the "reporting date" is used. Teacher names, when sorting by Homeroom Teacher or Teacher/Period displays in the header of the report.
