Tool Search: Special Ed Setting
The Special Education Setting tool allows users to modify a student's Special Education Setting without having to modify the student's IEP.
This tool consists of two sections: Setting and SPED Flags.
See the core SPED State Reporting article for information on necessary tool rights and guidance on adding records.
Special Education Setting
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.
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.
When the student's Setting has changed, select the existing setting from the list and enter an End Date, then click the Save button.
Select an existing record or click New to view the detail screen.
