The District Information tool contains basic district contact and resource information. This information is commonly pulled by state reporting extracts and used in report headers. The information contained in the District Detail editor should reflect legal district identification information.
District Information
District data is divided into two areas - District Detail and District History.
- District Detail records exist as the original entry of the district.
- District History records contain information related to a district that can be tracked historically. By creating a new District History, the new information is tracked as of a specific date while the previous values are preserved.
When first accessing the District information, a record of the district is listed in the District Editor. For state edition users, records for all districts in the state are listed. The original district detail is created when conversion data from the legacy system occurs. Changes made thereafter to this detail information are simply resaved.
Click the Plus Sign next to the district name to see historical school information.

District History Editor
Below the District Detail editor is a District History editor. When district information is created, options need to be created to indicate whether the school participates in certain federal programs. These options are saved as the district's original record when the District Information is saved. If a district participates in these programs, a checkbox should be placed next to the program name.

District History Deletion
Users have the ability (based on assigned tool rights) to delete a district history record. A district cannot be deleted if other records (calendars, enrollments, etc.) are tied to it. Original records cannot be deleted. These are required for districts to ensure there are values that date back as far as possible for reporting purposes. An original record can only be deleted when the entire district is deleted.
Tool rights to delete a school should be given to a limited number of users.

The District Information tab contains sensitive data related to a district's contact information. Because of this, a notification is available that indicates which user modified the information.
