    Hello, a fix for this issue was released on 06/04/2024. Here are the relevant revision notes:

    Aeries Analytics (LCAP Indicators) - The Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Status now uses the Ed Level field on the Contacts page (CON.ELV) instead of Student Parent Education Level (STU.PED) to determine student's Socio-Economically Disadvantaged status, according to changes in CALPADS requirements. The criteria is now based on both parent's highest education level being equivalent to 'not a high school graduate,' unless only one parent is reported to CALPADS. Contacts are identified as Parent/Guardians based on Record Type field (CON.CD) according to District Settings.  See Analytics Socio-Economically Disadvantaged Students or Chart of LCAP Indicators.

  17. Online Enrollment - Allow the use of dates instead of ages to determine if student is able to enroll.

    Online Enrollment. Request to have the Enrollment Age Limits changed from age to birthdates. Even the option to use age and/or birthdate. A birthdate would assist in input errors or allowing parents to continue the process for students who are too young.

  19. CALPADS STAS - Do not extract for students in NPS or Private Schools

    As of 9/2024, CALPADS no longer accepts STAS records for students in an NPS or Private Schools (School of Attendance = 0000001) or private school group (School of Attendance = 0000002). Adjust the logic in Aeries to no longer extract automatically for these schools. Currently, Aeries automatically populates an exemption indicator for all NPS students. Remove logic that inserts the Exemption indicator.

Now, the STAS extract process will exclude NPS or Private school students in the CALPADS EOY > STAS extract files automatically so schools no longer need to de-select these schools.
