• Students' tribal affiliation data should flow to the WISEdata on the /studentEducationOrganizationAssociation endpoint at the time of enrollment and whenever the student's data is updated (through online registration forms, the SIS, or the parent portal).

• If parents, guardians or students did not provide the tribal affiliation, then the LEA is not obligated to submit this data.

• A student can only be affiliated with one American Indian Nation, which is the Tribal Nation/Community that the student is either enrolled in or a direct descendent of or identify with.

• SIS vendors should be aware of Tribal Affiliations that are NOT federally recognized for which the Namespace is different.

Sending the initial evaluation for a student whose consent is received is in the 22-23 SY, but the eligibility is determined for the 23-24 SY

The reporting year is based on when the 60 calendar day timeline begins (July 1, YY through June 30, YY+1). It may include children for whom consent to conduct the evaluation was received during the summer months.

In this case, the child would be included in the 2022-23 SY data as the consent to evaluate was received during that school year.

POST on /studentSpecialEducationProgramEligibilityAssociation

If the student is not enrolled in the LEA, then POST on /studentEducationOrganizationResponsibilityAssociation

Sending the initial evaluation for a student whose consent is received is in the 22-23 SY, but the eligibility is not determined before either Nov 2023 or Feb 2024

Data for Indicator 11 needs to be included in the Annual Performance Report (APR) that is due on February 1 of each year.  The data included in the APR is for the prior reporting year (example, Indicator 11 reported on Feb, 2023 for the 22-23 SY). Therefore, LEA must submit data to WISEdata by November 15.

In this case, LEA will submit the studentSpecialEducationProgramEligibilityAssociation (SSEPEA) within 60 days of receiving parental consent for evaluation as not determined.

• If evaluation is incomplete or was completed past the 60-day timeline, then the LEA must send the Evaluation Delay Reason Descriptor (Transfer, Child Unavailable, or Initial SLD Eval) or the Evaluation Late Reason, which is a free-text field.

• The Evaluation Late Reason cannot also be supplied when a Evaluation Delay Reason is submitted, and vice versa.

Sending multiple eligibility in the same school year and same LEA

If a student is found ineligible the first time, then the LEA may send a second evaluation. However, there can’t be an overlap in the initial evaluation process from the same LEA

POST on /studentSpecialEducationProgramEligibilityAssociation

Sending multiple eligibility in the same school year but different LEAs

A parently-placed private student can have evaluations done in two district: the resident district and the district where the private school is located.

These SSEPEA records could overlap.

Deleting the eligibility records for a student

• LEAs should not be able to delete SEORA when there is a SSEPEA and no other SSA in the LEA

Sending the Learning Modality for how students are participating in instruction (school level)

Public schools will submit the school level indicator via WISEgrants in which they can indicate which learning modalities the school is offering and if that modality is: Offered to all students, Offered to some students, Offered to no students.

NA - Informational only

2.0

Sending the Learning Modality for how each student is participating in instruction (student level)

Public schools should submit a studentProgramAssociation record detailing what modality each student is in (e.g. In-person or Remote).

When a Learning Modality program type is not present for a student in WISEdata, then it is assumed that the student is in the default modality for the school.

• Non-Virtual School = learning modality of ‘In-Person’

• Virtual School = learning modality of ‘Remote’

• For more information, see https://wisconsindpi.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=widpiedfi&title=%2FstudentProgramAssociation%20%28Archive%29&linkCreation=true&fromPageId=4456492

Sending the student learning modality when modality of an individual student changes, and the student is attending a non-virtual school.

When a student attending a non-virtual school has a long-term modality shift in their learning modality, e.g. FROM ‘in-person’ TO ‘hybrid’ or ‘remote’, then a new student program record needs to be submitted and the previous student program record needs to be ended.

• If a subsequent long-term modality shift occurs from learning modality ‘remote’ or ‘hybrid’ back to ‘in-person’, then the student program record previously sent that contained learning modality of ‘remote’ or ‘hybrid’ should be ended, and a new student program record needs to be submitted.

• Overall, a temporary change in modality doesn't warrant a burden for the LEA to report the change. If the change becomes a long-term modality shift then a modality change is warranted.

  • Long-term modality change: There is no expectation the student will move back to the learning modality that currently applies.

  • Temporary modality change: It is expected the student will move back to the learning modality that currently applies after the temporary circumstances resolve (e.g. quarantine period, etc.).

Sending the student learning modality when modality of an individual student changes, and the student is attending a virtual school.

When a student has a long-term modality shift FROM attending remote in a virtual school TO an in-person in a non-virtual school, then the student's enrollment in the virtual school should be ended, and and a new enrollment should be created for a non-virtual school.

In this scenario, no student program record detailing modality would be expected as the modality default would apply based on the type of school.

/studentProgramAssociation with learning modality is not expected.

LEA is expected to end the existing /studentSchoolAssociation and send a new one from the new school.
