CEDARS File K Update Script

Special Education

The system will update data in the CEDARS File K profile based on the conditions outlined below. This file captures program information unique to the Special Education Program. There should be one entry for each student per enrollment into the program for the current school year per location. For example, if a student enters, exits and re–enters the Special Education Program, there should be two entries to reflect these two separate enrollments into the Program. All students reported in File (K) must be reported as having a disability in Student Attributes and Programs File (I). Records will be rejected if there is no corresponding enrollment record in Student Attributes and Programs File (I).

Add the LRECODE field to the Special Ed Profile under Eligibility Category.  Field label = Least Restrictive Environment and field {LRECODE}

Logic for Cedars File K

If Special Education > {SpecialEducationStartDate} is not null and {LRECode} is not null, evaluate the CEDARS File K profile, If Cedars File K profile does not exist, create record as follows:

  • Set Cedars File K > {LRECode} = Special Education {LRECode} and Cedars File K {StartDate} = Special Education {SpecialEducationStartDate} or if null {IEPCompletionDate}

  • Set Integration IDT

If Special Education > {SpecialEducationStartDate} is not null and {LRECode} is not null, evaluate the CEDARS File K profile, If Cedars File K profile exists and {LRECode} = Special Education {LRECode} do nothing

If Special Education > {SpecialEducationStartDate} is not null and {LRECode} is not null, evaluate the CEDARS File K profile, If Cedars File K profile exists and {LRECode} ≠ Special Education {LRECode} do the following:

  • Set existing Cedars File K > {ExitDate} = Special Education > {IEPCompletionDate} and Cedars File K {ExitReason} to SpecialEdExitReason KW 05

  • Create New Cedars file K record as follows:

    • Set Cedars File K > {LRECode} = Special Education {LRECode} and Cedars File K {StartDate} = Special Education {SpecialEducationStartDate} or if null {IEPCompletionDate}

    • Set Integration IDT

Special Condition for Students Who Age out of their LRE code mid-IEP

If Special Education > {SpecialEducationStartDate} is not null and {LRECode} is not null, evaluate the CEDARS File K profile, If Cedars File K profile exists and {LRECode} ≠Special Education {LRECode} AND {IEPCompletionDate} is the same as the CEDARS {StartDate} do the following:

  • Set existing Cedars File K > {ExitDate} = 1 day prior Least Restrictive Environment > {StartDate1} and Cedars File K {ExitReason} to SpecialEdExitReason KW 05

  • Create New Cedars file K record as follows:

    • Set Cedars File K > {LRECode} = Special Education {LRECode} and Cedars File K {StartDate} = Least Restrictive Environment {StartDate1}
