Tool Search: SD Extract
The Student Demographics extract collects basic student demographic data such as name, birth date and Race/Ethnicity. To generate this extract, select Student Demographics from the Extract Type field on the SD Extract Editor. Multiple records can report for a single student if the student's name or identifying information has changed while at the district.

Special Education data reports from multiple places. Depending on the selected school year, data reports from different areas.
When the selected school year is 2024-25 or earlier, Special Education information reports from the student's Enrollment record for that year.
When the selected school year is 2025-26 or later, Special Education information reports from the Evaluation, Plan, Summary, and Enrollment data. For each field on the report, a logic check is performed in the following order:
- Evaluation - the most recent Start Date that is on or before the effective date if one is selected (or December 1 of the selected school year if one is not selected) and not more than three years in the past, AND has a locked status.
- Plan - the most recent start date that is on or before the effective date if one is selected (or December 1 of the selected school year if none is selected) and not more than one year in the past, AND has a locked status.
- SPED Summary - the start date is on or before the effective date if one is selected (or December 1 of the selected school year if none is selected) and does not have an end date. When that is not found and there is summary data with a start date that is on or before the effective date if one is selected (or December 1 of the selected school year if none is selected) and the end date is after the effective date if one is selected (or December 1 of the selected school year if none is selected).
