FOCUS-38592- Communication Platform: Once Per Family Adjustment

Communication Platform: This branch improves the logic behind the "Once Per Family" recipients option to send to all of the custodial contacts of the selected Student. Previously, this option would only send to one of the family contacts.

Within a sibling group, one student within the group who has at least one contact is selected randomly and all of their custodial contacts are messaged. If that student has two contacts with the same linked user, those two contacts are deduped into one, and the user can see the message when logging in, or through any attached notifications.

When using any of the contact options, it no longer matters whether a contact has an email, they will still receive the message. However, for the email/call/sms, if they cannot be contacted by email or phone, the student the message is regarding will attempt to be contacted by that method instead.

See Communication (Admin) and Communication (Teachers) for more information.

A second component added by this branch is the ability for the district to designate the credit requirements per year that the student would be expected to complete while working towards the fulfillment of requirements in their assigned graduation program. This allows school users and parents/students to actively monitor a students progress toward meeting the benchmarks associated with each year of the student's attendance in school.

FOCUS-37869- System Preference: New TABE Reading & Language Setting for Basic Skills

This postsecondary enhancement adds an additional check for the Basic Skills Scheduled job. A new CTE Default Scheduling System Preference called 'Use TABE language or reading to set Basic Skills' was added. This preference allows districts to combine the Math requirement and use the preference to pick Reading or Language to satisfy the basic skills requirement. This new preference is used in conjunction with Modify Programs where TABE minimum scores for Math, Reading, and Language are set. Running the Basic Skills scheduled job will check the new preference, student's schedule record, and TABE test scores to determine the value to be set on Basic Skills Exam (schedule.custom_31).
