Part B

Reference	Summary	Release Note
SPEDSM-90073	LEA Entry/Exit Profile, Keyword Table Updates	Added a new keyword named SchoolYear. The keyword table holds the school years from 2020-2021 to 2028-2029 by default. Added a new keyword named ARC (Automated Record Close) to the ExitReasonTable keyword table. The ARC keyword is used when the system auto-closes the open enrollment record with a blank end date when a new or latest LEA Entry/Exit record with a blank End Date is pushed into the system. Updated the LEA Entry/Exit profile to have the School Year as a drop-down list, and the user must select the school year while creating or updating the enrollment record. The School Year will be displayed on the summary grid. Added a new script named Update LEA Entry/Exit under Configuration, Profile Types, and then Update Scripts. The script will run daily and identify any student with more than one open LEA Entry/Exit profile record, with more than one record with a blank End Date. If a student has more than one open-ended record, the newest record based on the start date will remain with a blank end date. When the script is executed, the previous record will be updated with the end date one day before the new record's start date and an exit reason as Automated Record Close.
SPEDSM-90065	First Provision of Specialized Instruction Document	The First Provision of Specialized Instruction document can now be created for students aged three to five years and eleven months. Previously, the system validated the document's creation for students with a maximum age of five years.
SPEDSM-89957	Script To De-Activate the Students	Renamed the script Part B Activate/Deactivate Students to Part B Deactivate Students. The script is also updated to only deactivate the student if the student has an EnrollmentExitDate that is the same as the current date or less. The script will be executed to deactivate the student only for Part B. The script will not deactivate any student if the environment is configured for Part C using the global configurations.
