Tool Search: Special Education Extracts
The Table 8A Extract reports all students who have a locked Evaluation Summary Report (ESR) where the Evaluation is within the start and end dates entered on the report editor, and the student's State Referral record for each locked evaluation is within the entered dates.
Report Logic
All students who have a locked ESR Evaluation and the Evaluation Editor's Date of Report is within the Start and End Dates entered on the extract editor. When there are multiple locked ESRs within the report generation start and end dates, a record reports for each ESR. The student's State Referral record is used to find the start date prior and closest to the locked ESR Date of Report where the Referral Type is Initial.
When the State Referral Record has the Referral Stopped checkbox marked, it does not report.
ESR Re-Evaluations are not included.
