Tool Search: Special Ed Setting
The Special Education Setting tool allows users to modify a student's Special Education Setting without modifying the student's IEP.
The Start and End Dates of an assigned setting cannot overlap with the start and end dates of another setting. This means only one active setting can exist at any time for a given student. Plan Settings are NOT tied to Student Enrollment, School Calendar Records, or IEPs.
This tool consists of two sections: State Education Setting and SPED Flags.
See the core SPED State Reporting article for information on necessary tool rights and guidance on adding SPED State Reporting or Setting records.
Districts may add district-defined elements to this tool using the Custom Attribute Dictionary and its related tools. All fields available on the Setting tool can be selected in Ad hoc Reporting for inclusion in queries.
Select an existing record or click New to open the detail screen.
