RSMR Summary Report (Standard) – LEA Entry/Exit Changes, Prescribed Minutes

The Standard RSMR Summary Report now counts prescribed minutes only for the time a student was enrolled at Stage 5 in your LEA, based on their LEA Entry/Exit records.

  • Time when the student was at Stage 4 or enrolled in another LEA is left out, even if the IEP service dates cover it.
