=================================================================== == STUREC(c) Windows XP v0.94 == == BUILD DATE: 03/09/2010 == =================================================================== 03/09/10 - Added the ability/responsibility for you to decide if you need to include specific data in your MSDS Export file for adults who are continuing, but have zero FTE this cycle. Normally null or meaningless data is not included in an XML file, but we don't write the rules. Also, now STUREC(c) notes the difference, if any, between the Legislated Count Date and your Local Count Date. Unfortunately many not-alternative programs make a big deal out of this and you should too! 03/08/10 - According to some folks, the group must be included with every adult, even if the FTE value is zero. The schema will pass a file as Valid either way. And, by the way, so has CEPI in the past. 03/04/10 - Thanks guys and gals, because of some unexpected things you do, we have gotten smarter. If you have two or more enrollment periods setup to cover one count date, now STUREC(c) will get it right. Also, if you you have students who change FUNDing code between Fall and Winter, we now have you covered. 03/03/10 - Fixed an undefined var we accidently introduced yesterday with the addition of the Student Id on Attendance sheets and Assessment Turn-Around sheets. Finalized the Export for Data Director. If your district is participating in the Data Director project, you may find the exports available at Menu:7.4.6.2. usefull. Going back to the rules. Originally this MSDS cycle, we ignored adult participants who did not count for FTE last fall and also did not count in February. Then some folks insisted that those adults must be reported even though they were not counted but coded as 19 Expected to continue. Come to find out, we were correct. CEPI is not interested in those adult students who are not counters any time this year. 03/02/10 - Just discovered and fixed a dastardly problem wherein STUREC(c) would throw an error in the MSDS Create Worktable cycle if you had a student who counted for FTE last fall and enrolled, but did not count in February. Even if that student was marked as exit code "19" Expected to Continue, dumb ole' STUREC(c) whould throw an erro of Zero FTE and not exited. This is fixed with this update, sorry for the confusion. Added an option to include the internal STUREC(c) student Id code on Attendance sheets and on Assessment Turn-Around sheets. Some districts use this number as a key into specialized test software. 02/26/10 - Added a new export in FTEREC: Drop & Add Form E. If this sounds like something you need, find it at Menu:8.9..9. You will select a FTE file and the export file will be written to the Export folder. It is not a report, it is a .csv file that can be opened in Excel then do with what you want. 02/24/10 - Some more 'tweaking' on the attendance calculations for hours between tests. I hate date math! 02/22/10 - Fixed an undefined variable lNoAbsent and lMonthly that we accidently introduced on the 15th. Now all attendance related reports should print without incident. 02/19/10 - Fixed an error that would occur when you tried to select by 'Resident LEA' in Menu:4. Added an additional safety check on CountDate for those of you who are worried that the official count date will not be correct in your export file. You will see a message when you Create a new Worktable at Menu:7.5.1. Final tweaking on the export for Data Director. 02/18/10 - Added: Cleanup address at data entry. Apparently CEPI no longer wants to see periods or dashes or other 'oddball' characters in the address or city. Also made it so that the MSDS cycle record will be automatically updated if you change the address in any way. You will no longer get the error message about the Export record not matching the address when you Create a new Worktable in Menu:7.5.1. Added an additional safety check for PSAs regarding residency codes, both in the Student Data screen and in the Create a new Worktable in Menu:7.5.1. Added back the safety check for existing UIC codes to make sure there are no duplicates upon data entry. Here is a weird anomaly that was discovered by one of your eagle-eyed comrades. If you tried to enter an assessment test for a student who had no previous tests on file, STUREC(c) would appear to lock-up. Not so, he was busy! It appears that a revised date-range attendance calculator that I installed recently did not properly appraise an empty date. If the first date in your date range was empty because the student had never been tested, poor old STUREC(c) was trying to calculate the attendance since January first of 1031. So, you see, he wasn't locked up, he was really busy trying to calculate the attendance for the last 1,100 years. 02/17/10 - A little 'tweaking' on the age biased grade level calculation, to make it consitent across all sub-routines. 02/15/10 - A special adjustment for the last of our schools who were using 'Alternate Attendance Symbols' and have decided to stop using that system. 02/13/10 - Discovered that we forgot to change the MSDS Export file name to SPR2010 from last fall's name of FAL2009. Also, there was an error in all of your adult students who were counted in February. The export file contained "SPR" instead of "FEB". 02/12/10 - Follow-up on the Count Date thing. According to newly issued revision to the rules, you may be able to count on the next day school is in session if your school was closed on the Official Count Date because of weather. This update makes adjustments to accomodate this new rule so you will no longer get the message "No COUNTABLE enrollment periods..." Also added a new feature to Menu:7.5.1.1. Create New Worktable Now you can specify if you are doing a Preliminary Run or Final Run. With Final run you cannot adjust any parameters, with the Preliminary run you will be able to ignore certain checks. Read the messages and answer appropriately. A little accomodation for our friends at the jail. 02/10/10 - Reviewed all of the Attendance Reporting functions and fixed an error that could crop up under certain circumstances. In some circumstances if you selected an odd-ball date range you could get and error in the calculation of number of days absent or present. This is corrected. Tweaking the MSDS process: since CEPI got all bent last fall if there were 'strange' tokens in an address, we installed a little routine that will strip all periods, commas, dashes, slashes, pound signs and quotes from the address. We will have to be patient and see what else crops up this time around. 02/08/10 - Added a suite of exports for Data Director. You will export your course catalog for the current year, student demographics and student roster according to specifications available to us. Find this at Menu:7.4.6.2. Only enrolled PUPils will be exported. 02/05/10 - Fixed an Unknown Variable FSRSLEVEL that you may get when you attempt to re-enroll a Shared-Time youngster. 02/04/10 - The Grade Equivalent thing is working in the Official Assessment screen. For CASAS tests it will automatically calculate the Grade Equivalent, for TABE tests you must enter it yourself. Not all printouts of assessments will display this new data. The only reason it is in there is because it will be required for the last time at the end of this year when you do your Section 107 Follow-up report. Fixed an annoyance that would remove all of the Adult Ed special information in the MSDS-M panel for adults that are not counted for FTE. Now if you have 'hand-entered' this data it will remain when you run Create New Worktable in Menu:7.1., even if the student has not been counted for FTE yet. Once you have counted a student for FTE, STUREC(c) will automatically fill in the special stuff for you. So, that means that the first step in doing anything about MSDS is to do your FTE audit steps first, then you can do some test runs of the MSDS process. Be aware that CEPI has made some "adjustments" of the process for the Spring submission so there may be some updates yet to come -- before deadline! Now, when you print a student record through PR on the Task Menu, all of any comments you have entered will print instead of just the first 22 characters. Now, when you run Menu:6.3. Students Ready for Testing, if you answer Yes to exclude Dropped or Exited students it will still include students who have completed and only exclude students who have actually Dropped. 02/01/10 - While working on putting in a facility to allow you to enter Grade Level Equivalents for your Official Assessments, without benefit of any reference tables from the Geniuses in Lansing, we accidentally introduced a couple of frustrating errors in the attendance printing routine as well as the assessment screen. Hopefully all is well now. 01/29/10 - STUREC(c) is a little more cognizant of dates and enrollment periods. If you have a student who dropped from the fall enrollment period and comes back for winter, he will not automatically look like he is still dropped even before you re-enroll him for winter. 01/20/10 - Initial implementation of user input of Grade Level Equivalent via the Assessment screen. The Section 107 follow up report is not finished at this time. 01/19/10 - Fixed a missing variable that was accidently introduced to the Create Classes function at Menu:5.2. 01/15/10 - Fixed an anomaly that would allow low security users (non-writers) to view a student SSN. Also, opened up the export for eTran so everyone can give it a try. Find this on the student screen HT menu as option 9 and also in Menu:4 on the output Transcript sub-menu. 01/08/10 - A little more tweaking on the SD panel to help insure that it remembers data you entered for first semester and carries it over to Spring Cycle. 01/05/10 - Fixed a little date-math error we introduced with the last update. This would cause a mis-calcuation when attempting to print an attendance for a date range. 12/21/09 - Sometime recently, we allowed a function used to try to discern the school year based upon a date, to misbehave. It showed up when trying to print an individual attendance. The routine would think it was next year, and of course the student does not have any attendance for next year. Sorry if this caused you an interruption, but it will not happen again. This mistake, not that we will never make any more mistakes! 12/17/09 - Added support for the following year end reports Menu:7.5.3. Year End Reports 7. Annual Headcounts 5. Exit Status Summary 8. Annual MSDS Exit Review Results may vary! This is not the 'end of the year' yet but these reports are ready for when you need them. Be aware of the time frame/context. These reports rely on data contained in the MSDS Cycle file for year 2009-2010 and later. They rely on the SRSD Cycle file for prior years. If you have erased your old SRSD data files, they cannot be rebuilt with this version of STUREC(c) because we have adopted the new MSDS paradigm. Many 'year end' reports derive from data contained in your regular data tables, but these specific reports rely on either the old SRSD files or the new MSDS files. 12/15/09 - With no help from Docufide, we have installed an 'eTranscript' export process. Invividually via the Student Data Screen or as a group via Menu:4. General..Transcripts. 12/14/09 - One of our 'eagle eyed' users noticed that when you wanted to print a "Re-Enrollment Form" you would be asked if you wanted to include current classes, but then would proceed to print the forms without the current classes. Oh dear. 12/09/09 - Unbeknownst to us until recently, the nice folks at DLEG changed the Section 107 Follow-Up report to include a line to report the number of GED component tests passed if the student did not pass all tests and earn a GED Certificate. This new accomodation is now available in the report. Check your workstation's clock. Press Alt-T to see your local time and the US Naval Observatory time. Did you remember that you can download Updates from inside of STUREC(c)? Press Alt-V and you will be asked if you want to check for an update, answer Yes and if a newer update is found you will be asked if you want to download it. Answer Yes and the update will be downloaded to your Sturec folder then all you need do is close STUREC(c) and install the update. 12/04/09 - Be careful what you ask for! A couple versions of a 'Complete Annual Review' available from a few different places. This new report shows selected students and the Hours Enrolled, Hours Attended, Credit Earned and FTE claimed and Entry and Exit EFL for all years that the student was enrolled in your program. Find a 'Summary' version of this at Menu:7.5.2.9.6. Annual Review. You must make some 'local selections' to focus the report. For a more detailed report on your whole body of adult students, try Menu:7.5.2.5. Student Data Sheets, make selections then answer Yes to Include Full History. To obtain similar detailed reports on individual students go into the Student Data Screen. If the student is an adult, go into ME and "P" to Print and be sure to answer Yes to Include Full History. The other place in the Student Data Screen is PR Print Record and again answer Yes to include full history. 12/03/09 - Fixed an oversight that could cause great confusion and bizarre behavior in the Student Data Screen if you make regular use of your 'Assigned Function Keys'. No more bizarro! 12/02/09 - The most recent MSDS Reporting Cycle data will be displayed on the Student Data Screen regardless of the Enrollment Period. As you know, enrollment periods and MSDS reporting cycle beginning and ending dates do not correspond. If you look carefully at the screen tag "MSDS" you will see between that and the tag "LEVEL:" the number of the cycle being displayed. 12/01/09 - Tweaked the exit procedure having to do with FED funded students. 11/24/09 - A suggestion from one of our busy users. Now, when you re-enroll a student for a later enrollment period, the basic contents of the MSDS record from the previous cycle will be remembered and brought forward for you. If your printout will not begin printing right away, we revived and revised the Test Printing Method. Find this at Menu:7.3.2.6. Try all three methods and select the one that prints best for your system. If none of the methods seem to work, please drop me a note with particulars about your setup. 11/20/09 - Now the MSDS data displayed on the main Student Data screen will be more in tune with the date range of the MSDS reporting cycles. Because of the differences between the date ranges of the FTE cycles and the MSDS cycles, they may not always be in 'sync' without your intervention, but STUREC(c) does the best to try to read your mind. 11/18/09 - Corrected an error accidently introduced yesterday that would prevent you from running a backup. 11/17/09 - Corrected an oversight that would produce really strange reslults in the Class Grade Report. NEW and Amazing for you MSDS fans. You may now print a DS-4061 right from your own desk! You also have the option to print a detail listing of students, sorted six ways. Find this in the MSDS Menu at 4. Print Local Report. The new report is 6. and when the summary finishes you will be asked if you want to print a detail listing of the students. You may do the listing sort as many times as you like, there are 6 options. 11/13/09 - Happy Friday the Thirteenth... One more 'tweak' on the SNE. If a student is not enrolled on October 31, they will not be included. Also cleared up an issue with the exit code when a student earns a GED over the summer and comes back to finish HS. If they have FTE the exit code will be "19". 11/12/09 - Removed the 'Combined DS-4061' from Menu:8. This report had been designed for the old SRSD reporting system. We will have a new one to match the new MSDS sytem before the February Count. Cleaned up an error accidentally introduced yesterday. 11/11/09 - The 'New, Exits & Completion' report was allowing enrollment dates earlier than your date range selection. Now it will adhere strictly to the date-range selected. Verified that UIC is required on Supplemental Nutrition export. 11/10/09 - Somehow over an unknown period of time, the 'Close School' routine started putting in an equal sign '=' instead of the fmailiar snowflake '*' as the symbol for a closed day. Obviously the program did not do this on its own, but now it puts the snowflake in for closed days. Also, with our newly gained experience in xml, we found ways to improve the speed of xml file creation by over 33%. If CEPI does not change the rules on us, we all are in great shape for the Spring and End-of-Year submission cycles. 11/06/09 - Added two new report selections for Assessments at Menu:6.2.2. Now you can choose 'With both Pre and Post' or 'NEEDS Assessment'. 11/05/09 - Supplemental Nutrition export is ready. 11/04/09 - One of our 'Eagle Eye' friends stumbled onto an obscure missing variable in Menu:5.4.1. class lists. This variable is no longer missing. 11/03/09 - Final tweak on Special Ed and MultipleBirth in the export for MSDS. 11/02/09 - Special for PSAs. We just found out that you only needed to code your resident students as "10" if your were a brand new PSA last year in the fall. We also put in some additional error check rules for PSAs. 10/30/09 - Hopefully the final tweaking on the Export file regarding Special Ed students. 10/29/09 - What we hope is a final tweak on two problems. The Print Local Report for MSDS now reports as expected. The other had to do with some adult students who were either dropped or did not count for FTE for the July or September count. Tweaked the MSDS Export function so it would not pass exit dates later than the count date. Those exits must be put in the Spring reporting cycle. Some additional tweaking for students who are accidently coded as both Adult and Alternative. This will now be on the error report. You will be able to remove the wrong checkmark from the ProgramParticipation panel. Also added a check for FTE over 1.00 which may have been possible with special ed students. Now you cannot exceed 1.00 FTE. 10/28/09 - Corrected a reported error when trying to enter the M function in the SD section for some adults. Tweaked the General Ed/Special Ed facility for those of you who like to 'experiment'. The General Ed FTE always stays in balance with Sec52 and Sec53. It always did in the export file, now it also displays properly on the screen. 10/27/09 - Corrected a sub-total error in the MSDS Local report. This error would cause headcounts for July and September to not match your FTE reports. Also, on user reported a problem with the Gender code mysteriously changing to lowercase which is not allowed in the MSDS Export file. We arbitrarily change all gender codes to uppercase just in case. Also added additional checks for malformed dates. Tweaked the export file regarding Shared Time and Special Ed students. 10/26/09 - Critical update for those of you who had adults counted in July and September (same student). Added a flag to the MSDS Create new Worktable, it asks if you Would like to Ignore Grade Out-of-Range students. If you have 18 and 19 year olds marked as 9th grade you may want to answer Yes to this question. The published rules state that you must assign an 'Age Appropriate' grade level based on student age at September 1st plus or minus 2. That means that a student 18 minus 5 would be 13 but we make it max 12 then plus or minus 2 so we minus two to arrive at grade 10. Now you and I know that 9 is less than 10 so therefore it should cause an error. Well, at the schema level validation it does not throw an error. I do not know what will happen at the CEPI computer when you present an 18 or 19 year old in 9th grade. You get to decide! 10/24/09 - Added a special 'Security Level' for one of our users. It is very specialized and if you think you need this, contact us because it requires an extra license. Corrected an error that would occur in the MSDS Export file if you have a student with more than one ProgramEligibility program code. We also discovered that the PlacedByAnotherDistrictIEP item in the Special Ed section is not required. We still don't know the exact business rule for this item, but wheter it is reported as True or False it causes a fatal error, so we just took it out for now. 10/23/09 - If you have any students with an Exit Date before the Count Date, you need this update. 10/22/09 - If you marked a youngsters as Homeless, by selecting one of the codes, then also marked the youngster as "Unaccompanyed Youth" the screen would always display False. The underlying data containing Yes would be saved just the display was incorrect. Sometimes, not always, when you attempted to go into Official Assessments, you would get an error about a missing MIDLAND. It wasn't missing, it was misspelled. Added another absurdity check: ProgramParticipationCode in the MSDS record must match you Local Registration Funding code. We love to learn! We knew that some of you would run your MSDS Export file before you were finished with the FTE Audit. Often students who were not countable on Count Date will show up within the 30 day window and then they can be counted which will add to their total FTE value. But, we did not properly anticipate that you may reduce some FTE values. Our lesson learned. We no longer look for increased FTE, but any change in the FTE value. Some of you are obsessing about the MSDS error that reports "Youngster with no Attendance and not marked 10/30". Please dig out your Pupil Accounting Manual and look up the ten thirty day rule and how to deal with it. Added a special 'Security Level' for one of our users. 10/16/09 - Added an absurdity check for out-of-range grade levels. A youngster's grade level must be plus or minus two grade levels of their Age Appropriate grade. Age appropriate is calculated as age at September 1st minus 5 (max 12). A student who is 17 on September 1st minus 5 would be grade 12. Fixed a gotcha' in the UIC Request facility. If you had a student with a SPRing MSDS Record, but no FAL record, it would produce a bogus record in the XML file. 10/15/09 - Added 'Early Roster' to our list of Other Collections. Fixed a problem with the date in SD/M Special Ed concerning the exit date. Fixed a problem with the Residence District sort in FTE. Fixed an annoyance that would force you to rebuild your FTE printfile each time you wanted to print a bedsheet. 10/13/09 - Fixed an error that could show itself when creating a new MSDS Worktable. It was accidently introduced yesterday. 10/12/09 - Finished the RecordMaintenance export module for the program year 2008-09 only. Still working on the current year. Also fixed the residence sort reports in FTEREC. 10/09/09 - As we learn more about this new MSDS stuff from our friends at CEPI, we keep tweaking stuff. You will need this update before you can make a final Fall Export file at the end of October. 10/08/09 - Thanks to one of our friends in da'UP, we discovered that the new XML reporting system implemented by CEPI this year, does not like to find an ampersand (&) in a data field. Some addresses may be something like "US 2 & 41". Sure, to you and I it looks like the student lives at the intersection of US Route 2 and US Route 41, beautiful area by the way, but to some computer programs the ampersand designates some special attribute. If the special attribute does not immediately follow the ampersand, it balks and doesn't want to play. Also added a further mechanism to assure that UIC that you entered either by hand or by import, are actuall distributed to the student master file. Also added a new 'Other Collection' export. Find it at Menu:7.5.1.7.2.Student Record Maintenance. This is only useful if you had a youngster who graduated with a diploma or a GED between July 1 and August 31 of this year. 10/07/09 - The MSDS report by grade level and residence has been fixed. There was a nasty undefined variable that is now defined. Also added a date range picker to the Personal Progress tests found in Menu:6.2.3. Before you get nervous about a bunch of errors on your MSDS create worktable process that relate to "Youngster with no Attendance and not marked 10/30"... Understand what is being reported here. We report the number of days a student ACTUALLY ATTENDED between July 1, or their actual enrollment date, of the count year and the fall count date, which this year was 09/30/09. If a student was enrolled, but had all excused absences between those dates they have NO attendance. In this case, if they attend, in person, before the end of the 30 day grace period, you may count them for FTE, but the record must be marked as using the 10/30 rule. Be careful about the "Enrollment Date" that you actually record for enrollment into the program, which may be different than the enrollment date into the class. Since you have until October 29 or 30, depending on how your boss wants to count the 30 days, you should be careful about the 10/30 rule. This 10/30 business only pertains to Pupils. 10/06/09 - Through the diligence of one of your eagle-eyed comrades, we have added two additional checks to the MSDS Create new Worktable errorchecker. Check for missing Ethnicity and absurd enrollment date. Tracked and fixed a little bug that was bugging some of you. The attended and enrollled days thing for youngsters. 10/05/09 - Allow you to edit the Enrollment Date on the MSDS panel. The rule says to report the date the student first entered your program/district. We have at least one district that insists that the enrollment date for the current year should be reported. STUREC(c) will default to the original enrollment date, but if you want to change it, now you may. 10/03/09 - Added protection so STUREC(c) would not bomb if you asked to open an Excel or Word file, but don't have Excel or Word installed on your workstation. 09/30/09 - Fixed a typo that would prevent you from creating an MSDS Export file. Also fixed a problem that would only occur if you are a PSA relative to Student Residency Code. PSAs need code "10". 09/29/09 - A little more 'fine tuning' on the thing that displays which area of study an ABE or ESL student NEEDS. Made an adjustment to the Import UIC because some district's processing strips the leading zeros from the STUREC(c) Internal Student Id number. It is supposed to be 7 bytes long and always begins with a zero. Without this id being properly formatted, STUREC(c) cannot find its own children. Also adapted the interface so that you may 'Drop' a student via the "XT" standard Task or the "C" task on the "SD" MSDS menu and the results will be propagated in both directions. Also a little 'fine tuning' regarding the new MSDS as it relates to Special Education for students 20 or older, but less than 26. 09/28/09 - One of your 'eagle-eyed' comrades noticed that Ctrl-V would not work to paste a UIC copied from the CEPI website. Now you can do that again. 09/24/09 - Added an additional errorcheck to the MSDS Create new Worktable. This will alert you if you have a missing Last name or missing First name. Also rebuilt the standard Exit routine in the Student Data screen so the regular XT will coordinate with the MSDS Panel | EntityDemographics | Exit Also we learned that 'Percentage of Completion' is no longer part of the calculations regarding CASAS tests, only TABE. With CASAS we are to use the Standardized Score to determine what area needs pursuit, with TABE we will continue to use the Percentage of Completion concept. Also, cleaned up a little smush on a Class Grade Report Detail. 09/23/09 - Improved the name-change detector. Also tightened up some of the editing rules for PersonalCore, EntityDemographics and PersonalDemographics in the MSDS panel to make it easier to not make mistakes. 09/22/09 - Added, on the MSDS Export File, the ability to select by One LEA, Pupils only, Adults only or all. Normally you would always use the All selection. A few districts have contracts with other districts to run an Alternative or Adult program for them and send the other district the Export File for further processing. If you don't need this, don't worry! 09/21/09 - With the help of one of our good helpers, we were able to learn that the 'Request for UIC' file that STUREC(c) produced and was accepted by CEPI last year -- is no longer valid! We were able to adapt STUREC(c) to the new schema and test it with a new tool recommended by CEPI. Our latest efforts pass the schema level validation and field verification. Fixed a typo in the Automatic Update Downloader. 09/18/09 - With the help of Trina Anderson at CEPI, cleaned up a validity error in our new XML Fall export file. Also fixed a 'screen-slop' regarding bogus exit dates that would appear as " 0-00-00". Also fixed an annoyance some of you have experienced. If you entered a brand new UIC via the new SD panel C, it would not appear on the main screen. Please run 5.1. Create new worktable. This will correct both problems. 09/17/09 - Some of you may have homeless students for whom you do have an address. The original rule for determining Homeless status was if the student did not have a permanent address. Now, however you may access the Homless status (H) even if there is an active address. 09/16/09 - Added CASAS ESL Listening test for Form L&W numbered from 81 through 86. When entering an assessment and the Form Code is L&W simply enter the ampersand "&". If you just enter "L" you will get the LS form. 09/14/09 - One of our 'Eagle Eye' users noticed that the FTE values printed with the names on the Section 107 Follow-up report were for the student's FTE value for the whole year and not just the value of the achievement. For example: a student took two GED prep classes, one in Fall and one in Winter. She passed the Fall class and was counted for 0.28 FTE in the achievement section, but down below she was printed with 0.56 which included the class she was counted in Winter, but dropped before passing the class. The numbers in the Summary at the top are the ones to use, those printed below are only for your local use. * Downloading this update, or any available update between 09/01/09 and 07/31/10, will begin the 2009-10 license cycle. Your district will be billed for the annual license fee. If you are required to first obtain a PO, please contact your business office. * Over the summer of 2009, CEPI has instituted a completely new reporting system called MSDS. This new system replaces the old system known as SRSD. The primary difference is that the new system requires all file submissions to be constructed in the XML formatting style. This provides certain advantages, all to CEPI. Rest assured that STUREC(c) provides you with all of the tools necessary to complete your job and provide export files that meet the published schemas for such files. In order to provide you with these new tools and convert certain aspects of the STUREC(c) program to accomodate the new specifications, we have invested heavily in rebuilding parts of STUREC(c) to accomplish this. We find it necessary and fair to add a one-time surcharge of $ 380.00 in addition to the regular annual license fee. You may note that we have not charged a surcharge since CEPI instituted the SRSD system in the 2000-2001 school year. This surcharge is the same as it was in 2000. Your annual license fee will remain the same as it has been for the last 5 years. The DOS version (Sr03) is no longer supported. You should actually erase any Sr03*.* files from your hard-disk. The June 19, 2009 version of STUREC(c) is no longer maintained.
