      If you have at least one CEP school in your District, you must Set Students at Community Eligibility Option schools to Prior-Year Free in order to maintain the student's free status if promoted to a non-CEP school in order to apply the 30-day grace-period.


    • Clear SIS Overrides - All SIS Override flags will be reset at end-of-year. Students who have data fields marked to be ignored during the Student Information System (SIS) Update, such as an address or head of household change, will have these values reset. The next SIS Update that is run will import the values currently on file in the SIS System and will no longer ignore the data values on a per student basis.
       
    • Clear Manual Special Circumstances - All manually set special circumstance flags are to be cleared at end-of-year.

    • Clear Automated Special Circumstances - All automatically set special circumstance flags are to be cleared at end-of-year.
       
Note

The Clearing Automated Special Circumstances in Franklin refers to clearing a combination of special circumstances applied with a 3rd party import file as well as SIS special circumstance imports. If you do not want SIS special circumstance to import back in from the SIS file you must make sure the scheduled tasks have been disabled in the Microsoft Task Scheduler. Failure to first disable jobs in the Microsoft Task Scheduler could result in the circumstances becoming re-enabled when the Beginning of Year process is run.

    • Clear Information Release - All information release flags will be reset at end-of-year. Release information is collected from online or scanned applications. If your district chooses to share information with other programs such as Medicare or Medicaid, do not clear this information.
