❏ Modified the current STAAR Alternate 2, 3-8 and EOC extracts to conform to the new Cambium file layouts.

To code students for STAAR Alternate 2 3-8 ensure the student is (1) enrolled in special education with a primary disability selected and an Exit Date of blank on Registration > Maintenance > Student Enrollment > SpecEd, and (2) coded as taking STAAR Alternate 2 (i.e., T: STAAR Alternate 2 in Precoding STAAR status) in all subjects on Test Scores > Maintenance > Individual Maintenance > PRECODE.

To code students for STAAR Alternate 2 EOC ensure the student is (1) enrolled in special education with a primary disability selected and an Exit Date of blank on Registration > Maintenance > Student Enrollment > SpecEd, and (2) enrolled in an EOC course. For valid EOC Service ID’s, refer to the Help Page.

❏ Added a new option Cumulative to produce a cumulative precoding file for all the tests (i.e., TELPAS, TELPAS Alternate, STAAR 3-8, STAAR Interim, STAAR Alternate 2, STAAR EOC). The Cumulative file can be executed from Grade Reporting > Utilities > Online STAAR/TAKS EOC Extract or STAAR/TAKS Precoding Extract. The functionality is identical.

Before executing the Cumulative option, the campus/district must execute the individual tests since the Cumulative file is built from the execution of the individual tests. For example, if only TELPAS is executed, the Cumulative will only contain TELPAS precoded students. If all tests are executed, the Cumulative will contain precoded students for all tests (including STAAR EOC, if executed, even though the execution functionality resides in a different screen). Executing the Cumulative option without executing any of the individual tests, will result in an error message, “No data to extract”.

Currently, the Cumulative extract cannot be cleared. The district/campus can re-run an individual test to overwrite the contents of the Cumulative for that test, and, re-run the Cumulative, if desired.

❏ Modified the program to include the second line of the header in the P-EBT extract so that it may upload successfully into www.YourTexasBenefits.com.
