• Student Information: Details about the student, including unique identifiers and demographic information.

Selection Criteria

One record published for each student enrollment in a section during the current school year where:

• Student, Section, School not excluded from Ed-Fi or state reporting

• Section included in CourseOfferings

• Includes sections taken at a different school from enrollment school

• Includes sections derived from hand-entered StoredGrades records

Resource Output

• A student record is published for each student enrolled in the district in the year for the Term selected in the PowerSchool UI.

• The student resource is not dependent on the prior publishing of other Ed-Fi resources.
  Note: After a student record is uploaded, it cannot be modified until a studentSchoolAssociation record in the Student Enrollment category has also been uploaded for the same student.

  • This establishes a relationship between the school, the associated LEA, and the student.

  • The LEA then has permission to modify the previously uploaded Student record.

• LEAs and Schools may upload (publish) data to the ODS in real-time or on-demand ("Run Now" button).
