This article reviews entering general Special Education Details for students when using the DnA or ISI products. The Special Education Details page does not house historical SpEd data, only current data. For clients who wish to track historical data, it is possible to do this via Student Programs.
As of the 2019-2020 academic year, Illuminate ISI no longer sends SpEd data to CALPADS. Special Ed vendors are responsible for sending this data to CALPADS.
Where to Start
- Go to SpecEd > Student Details
- To edit, click Edit Special Education
In order to trigger the SPED alert and show "Is Special Ed" as Yes, there must be an Entry Date Special Ed on/before today's date, a Primary or Secondary Disability, and an End Date that is blank or on/after today's date.
SELPA and NPS
To enter SELPA and/or NPS (Non-Public/Private School) data, scroll down to the Service Info section.
For ISI clients, see Create a NPS or Non-Public School Site for additional details on fields for CALPADS reporting.
Code Management
Options that show via drop down menus on Special Education Details page are directly related to codes in Code Management. See our Code Management help document for how to add codes. For ISI clients and CALPADS purposes, codes should also be state mapped.
