FOCUS-35019- Grad. Req. Report: Track Graduation by Year and Simplified Enhancement

This enhancement adds several features to the existing Graduation Requirements Report. This branch introduces a new profile permission, Show Simplified, for the parent/student role type. When enabled, the state assessment and GPA criteria that currently show at the top of the report will be hidden by default, and parents/students will see a much more concise presentation of the Graduation Requirements Report. Parents/students can display the additional information at the top of the report as needed by toggling on the detailed view.

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.

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).

See System Preferences > Default School Preferences > Scheduling, Modify Programs, and Scheduled Jobs for more information.
