FOCUS-41305- School Choice: Enhancements for the Projected Grade field on the Evaluate Placement screen

This update enhances the logic for determining the Projected Gradelevel within the School Choice Module, streamlining it across all areas. The logic is defined as:

1) For applications to a School Choice Program for the default school year, the Projected Gradelevel is set to the student's current gradelevel.

2) For applications for the next school year, the Projected Gradelevel follows a specific hierarchy:

a) Priority is given to the 'Choice Applicant Gradelevel' field. If this is null, The 'Applicant Gradelevel' field is used.

b) If both are null and the student is marked as 'Retained' in the Rolling/Retention field, their current gradelevel is used.

c) Otherwise, for non-retained students without values in the aforementioned fields, the next grade in the customer's gradelevel configuration is used. For students in transition grades, the next grade in the applicant school's configuration applies.

This streamlined approach ensures a more accurate and efficient grade level projection for School Choice applicants.
