Additionally, the following rules apply regarding the records that are included:
- One record per student per school per record collection EXCEPT when Grade Level Code, Kindergarten Half-Day Flag, GED Program Code, Tuition Paid Code, Non-public student FTE, or Primary Disability Code changes while still attending the same school. In these cases, a student MAY have more than one record per school per record collection.
- If a student has more than one record, only one record can be Active (Active Status Flag).
- Students who were enrolled on the last membership day of the previous school year need to be included.

Additional Information
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download or extract will retrieve Parental Decision data for Remote Learning with a Virtual Program Code only when they are aligned and have the same start and end dates.
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download or extract for Spring Submission will process only if there is a change in the Alternate Serving Building of a student:
If there is a corresponding Entry/Withdrawal record, includes all details in the Entry/Withdrawal page to the SRC report.
If there is no corresponding Entry/Withdrawal record, uses W201 as the withdrawal code for the inactive record and R201 as the entry code for the active code.
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download and extract will calculate the data elements, Aggregate Days Unscheduled and Aggregate Days Present, based on the absence codes selected from the prompts and process into the download and extract accordingly. Each district must set up the Unscheduled Absence Codes in the Attendance Codes and Attendance View Setup for the correct calculation of the data elements Aggregate Days Present and Aggregate Days Unscheduled in the SRC records.
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download and extract will calculate the maximum age for VPI students (as increased in 2021-2022 due to Covid) for the PK Funding Source field. The age edits will be revised to allow students:
Greater than 4 and less than 6 years as of 9/30 for PK Funding Source 3 (VPI) or 14,
Greater than 3 and less than 4 years as of 9/30 for PK Funding Source 12 (VPI - Pilot for Three-Year-Old Students).
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download and extract will populate values for the Entry and Exit codes against student records as follows:
When the dates on the Student’s most recent record on the Entry/Withdrawal page match the dates on any of the programs Primary Disability, GED Program, Tuition Paid, Non-Public FTE, and Virtual Programs, the codes from the Entry/Withdrawal page will be retrieved in the report.
When the dates on the Student’s most recent record on the Entry/Withdrawal page do not match the dates on any of the programs Primary Disability, GED Program, Tuition Paid, Non-Public FTE, and Virtual Programs, and there is no change in the student’s building, the Entry code will be R115 and the Exit code will be W115.
When the dates on the Student’s most recent record on the Entry/Withdrawal page do not match the dates on any of the programs Primary Disability, GED Program, Tuition Paid, Non-Public FTE, and Virtual Programs, and there is a change in the student’s building, the Entry code will be R201 and the Exit code will be W201.
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download and extract will add a warning message when the Date of Entry into US Schools has a date value but is defaulted to Null as the VA Immigrant and VA ESL Service (SLIFE) programs are inactive.
The Student Record Collection (SRC) download and extract will process the Kindergarten Half Day Flag value with a filler as this data element is retired.
