All Day Kindergarten Information has been added as a new District DD page. The list page contains fields for Fiscal Year, Eligible for Free Lunch, Eligible for Reduced Lunch, Max Amount Charged - Fee, and Max Amount Charges - Tuition.

• Added the Acceleration - All Subjects and Total Grades Acc All Subjects fields to the Student Acceleration user-defined page and program.
• Reading and Writing subject areas are reported as a single record with a subject code of R, with the accelerated status of Y taking priority. For example, if a student is accelerated in Reading, but not Writing, a record with subject code R should be reported, with an accelerated status value of Y.
• Acceleration in All Subjects overrides all other subjects, and results in only one record reported for the student, with a subject code of A.  “All Subjects" should only override the individual subjects if the accelerated status for All Subjects is Y.
