Override student's special education status

Aspen automatically updates a student's special education status as you complete steps in the workflowClosed. However, there may be times when you need to manually set a status. If you have special privileges set by your Aspen system administrator, you can override the special education status.

Note: Overriding a student's special education status does not affect or change any workflows or IEPs for the student. You need to delete or amend IEPs separately.

To change a student’s special education status:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Log on to the Special Education view.
    • Log on to the School view.
    • Log on to the District view.
  1. Click the Student tab.
  2. Select the student, and click the Details side-tab.
  3. On the Options menu, click Override Special Education Status. The Override Special Education Status pop-up appears.
  4. At the New status field, select the student’s new special education status.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Click Save on the details page.
  7. Note: Overriding a student's special education status may affect your state reporting data. See your state requirements on reporting special education students.
