CTE Course Updates
For the 2027 school year, we updated 14 Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses behind the scenes. We replaced the SCED codes for these courses with the correct Career Pathway Descriptor IDs to meet 2027 reporting requirements. This change applies only to the 2027 API school year and helps ensure that CTE courses are reported accurately using the appropriate career pathway information.
Grades/Marks Export
This export now includes a new Attempt Status column. This column displays the student's submitted Attempt Status for the section when available. This allows LEAs to view grades, marks, and attempt status information in one export, reducing the need to compare data across multiple files. The Exports screen now includes the definition for Attempt Status: "An indication of the student's completion status for the section."
Student Details – Enrollments: Link Updates
We updated the Begin Date and End Date help links to take users to the correct webpage.
Validation Messages: “Close” button on Comments/Notes
The Close button on Comments/Notes in Validation Messages now functions as expected. Previously, selecting Close instead displayed a {success:true} response in the browser. \
Validation Messages: Knowledge Base Article (KBA) Link Text Updated
Validation codes now display as plain text, and the magnifying glass and expand icons have been removed. Validation messages now include a clearer "More details for validation [####] KBA" link to the related KBA.

Corrected Error 7464 Display for Closed Schools
We fixed an issue where "Validation Warning 7464 First Day of School (FDS) and the Last Day of School (LDS) dates are missing" could appear under a closed school. The error is now displayed only at the district level, where it belongs.

We updated the column order on the Validation Messages page for Critical Errors, Errors, and Warnings. The last five columns now appear in this order: Aging, Action, Acknowledgement, Bookmark, and Tags. This change provides a more consistent layout and makes information easier to find and review.
Queue Imports and Validation Updates
We made the "Queue Imports and Validation" section simpler and easier to use. Updates include a cleaner layout, a simplified validation status (Complete, Pending, or Running), removal of extra status details, and improved placement of the Queue Imports and Validation button.

Update to Validation Error 7461: Check sections as well as section associations
We updated Validation Error 7461, in which a student section exists with a 'Certified Career Education' program in 23/24 and prior school years or an 'Industry Recognized Credentials' program starting from the 24/25 school year, but the Certificated Program Status Type has not been submitted per student. This validation now checks programs submitted in both the /StudentSectionAssociation and /Section endpoints. Previously, it only reviewed /StudentSectionAssociation, which could trigger warnings even when a Certified CE or IRC program was already reported in /Section. This update reduces false warnings and improves accuracy for LEAs.
Course Resource - Add Status Filter to Exclude Deprecated
We added a new “All non-deprecated” option to the Course Status filter on the WDP > Resources > Courses page. This option displays only new and continuing courses while excluding any marked as deprecated, and is available for current and future school years without replacing existing filters.
EdFi Credential
New Feature: API Resource Visualization > Ed-Fi API Resources
We enhanced visibility into API resources and descriptors with a primary intended audience of EdTech vendors. This update allows users to visually explore available API resources, see which claimsets have access to each resource, and understand how data is scoped, including which values are included or filtered out. This improved transparency helps streamline troubleshooting, validation, and overall management of credential configurations.

CTE Concentrators
Starting with the 2025–26 school year and beyond, DPI automatically calculates CTE concentrator status. We implemented updates to align CTE concentrator reporting with current system design. The next opportunity to view CTE concentrator data will be in WISEdash, beginning in early 2027. As a result,
Overall: All mentions, labels, and indicators related to “Concentrator” have been removed from the WISEdata Portal.
- Exports: The CTE Concentrator column has been removed from all applicable exports in WISEdata Portal. DPI will now determine concentrator status using course data and completion status following the December snapshot. This information will no longer be available in WISEdata Portal.

New Validation Warning - 7512 RCC With Incorrect Ed Environment
The new Validation Warning 7512 improves data quality for Reverse Credit Completion (RCC) reporting. This update alerts users when an incorrect Education Environment is associated with a student who is reported with an RCC. RCCs require an "F" or "G" Education Environment Code.

We updated the “Queue Import and Validations” function on the Validation Messages screen to run based on the “School Year” filter. This speeds up these jobs’ processing.Ed-Fi Credential

Overlapping Enrollments: “Overlap with District/Agency” filter
On the Overlapping Enrollments screen (under the Resources menu), we added an “Overlap with District/Agency” filter with a dropdown that displays all districts that overlap with the user’s district.
Update to Validation Error 7461
We updated the logic on Validation Error 7461 so that instead of throwing the error when Attempt Status = Sufficient (among other criteria), it throws when Attempt Status <> (does not equal) Insufficient (among other criteria).
Bug fix: Message Type filter
We fixed a bug in the “Message Type” filter on the Validation Messages screen. Previously, when this filter was set to “All Message Types,” the search returned no results. We have resolved this.

Updated links to webpages
We have updated all URLs in WISEdata Portal to align with the newly refreshed WISE public website. These updates ensure that links point to the current web addresses, providing users with smoother navigation.
Forward assessment registrations added to Assessment Roster screen
The Assessment Roster screen now includes data for student registration for the Forward assessment. This displays under the header “Student data available in the API” in a separate row where the Ed-Fi API Resource is “studentAssessmentRegistration for DRC Forward.” This enables LEAs to more easily integrate and streamline their assessment workflows. This enhancement broadens the WISEdata API platform usage and supports LEAs in integrating with vendors who are not using the API for state and federal reporting.
