SAIS Notice

Changing Register IDs on SAIS (old WR/ER codes)
Version 2.3 of Membership Requirements document added to the SAIS Database Design Documents website. Version 2.2 erroneously added an inaccurate Issue stating that SAIS would not be able to store more than one Register ID per student for a single school year: SAIS has always had the capability to track a student's Register ID changes.

Rather, following what ADE has previously published: SAIS does not accept codes ER (enrollment) and WR (withdrawal). To notify ADE when a student moves from one register to another during a single school year, use the Student Grade Transfer transaction.

Some LEAs use Register ID to identify various conditions, e.g., for its preschoolers a district sets up specific Register IDs for students in a self-contained setting, since only those preschoolers generate state ADM funding. Any logic an LEA assigns to Register ID is irrelevant to SAIS. In the example above, the only way to identify whether a student's membership should generate ADM funding is through its Tuition Payer Code: code 1 means this membership is eligible for state ADM funding; code 2 means he is not. (Tuition Payer Code can change over the course of a membership.)
