Adjust Socio-Economic Disadvantaged Status Calculation
Adjustments are needed in Aeries Analytics because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file. Education Level is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2, Currently one method the student meets the definition is if the highest education level in STU.PED is Not A High School Graduate.

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.

It seems the Disadvantaged extended analytics field should still work, at least for students who qualify as SED solely based on NSLP eligibility. But it appears to be completely broken as of this fall (2023). CDE announced the Parent Ed Level change more than a year ago - plenty of time to program adjustments for this very important data field! Please fix asap.

Since CALPADS is not forcing new SINF records for all students will STU.PED be included in the Aeries calculation if CON has no parent ed level data for a student?
