Location: MT Data Upload > Section 504 Participation

Reporting Population and Business Rules

  • The student must have an active enrollment in the district that matches the district and state IDs on the import.
  • The student's enrollment must be within a calendar that has the same end year as the end year on their enrollment.
  • If during the upload a Section 504 record already exists during the imported record’s date range, a new record will not be created on upload.

The Retrieve New Student State ID File option is only relevant to Student Demographic uploads. Please ignore this option when uploading Section 504 Participation data.
