Added FOCUS-44861 - Grad Req. Report: New Fine Arts Seal in Florida Graduation Requirements Report
This update to the Graduation Requirements Report for Florida customers introduces the Florida Seal of Fine Arts Program in alignment with House Bill 523. It includes new fields and reporting elements to support tracking of fine arts achievements for high school students. A new system field, "Seal of Fine Arts Additional Requirements," allows schools to track criteria like juried event participation, arts-related community service, and recognition for original works. Additionally, a checkbox field, "Fine Arts," has been added to the Course Catalog, marking courses that meet the fine arts requirement. As part of the migration, any course in the Course Catalog with a "Graduation Subject Area" of "PF" for the 2024 school year will have the "Fine Arts" designation set to 'Y' by default.
In the Graduation Requirements Report, the Seal of Fine Arts designation is displayed in the detailed student view for students who have completed qualifying coursework and met at least two additional criteria, such as completing advanced fine arts courses, community service, or receiving arts recognition. In the report's summary view, a new Fine Arts Designation column shows a green checkmark for students who meet the designation requirements, with filter options for quick analysis. This enhancement provides schools with a structured way to recognize and report students' achievements in the fine arts.
