Tool Search: Special Ed Setting
The Special Education Summary tool allows users to view student Special Ed data without having tool rights access to their Plans/Evaluations. Users can enter some data for State Reporting purposes.
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.
This tool consists of several sections: State Reporting, Shortened Day, RCC, and SPED Flags.
See the core SPED State Reporting article for information on necessary tool rights, SPED Flags functionality, and guidance on adding SPED State Reporting or Setting records.
