When a student's IEP expires in Skyward, the student's special education (SE) status is changed from a 'Y' in field 38 to an 'N'. This creates a multitude of errors and the student is unable to be uploaded. According to PDE, if an IEP expires, that does not mean the student is no longer a SE student. A SE student is always a 'Y' unless exited from the program with an 'E' and an exit date. Other than on 12/1... For the December SE upload, every student must have a valid IEP date. However, during the rest of the school year this does not really apply.
For student template exports, when a student is changed to an 'N' based on their IEP date, our only option in Skyward is to manually update all of the SE fields or delete the student from the upload. This is not best practice and it is not how other student information systems handle SE student records. In addition, I always have to use the current date (or back date) my Student Template export to avoid all of the SE errors. PDE recommends using 6/30 when exporting your student template, which is almost impossible in Skyward.
