Contains an arbitary XML element, encoded in UTF-8.

Contains an optional description of the content or a processing hint with regard to its structure (e.g. named standard, file layout or XSD). Contents may be mandated in instances of this type, or types that follow the AbstractContentPackageType pattern.

An abstract type for derived content package types, elements and objects. This structure may be used verbatim, optionally extending with additional attributes, or may be redefined to include only a subset of child elements and/or to add validation to XML contained in XMLData.

Base type, without attributes, for Name elements, primarily to allow structure to be leveraged with different Type attribute values.

A prefix associated with the name like Mr., Ms., etc.

The last name.

The first name.

The middle name or initial.

Generation of suffix like II, Jr., etc.

This is a name that the person prefers to be called by.

This is the name to be used for sorting purposes.

A free text field for the complete name.

Type of amount. Note that when this common element is used not all of the following values apply. There are notes to indicate values that are applicable.

The type Value is used to denote the value of the amount.

Number of credits. This attribute does not apply to Cash or Value and hence has a value 0. It only applies to types BreakfastCredit and LunchCredit.

Reports aggregate counts and, optionally, received funds for individual combinations of student or staff meal status and meal type.

Student meal status. If a meal status applies, either MealStatus (for students), or EarnedStatus (for staff) is specified.

Staff meal status.

Value of tax collected.

The value of the count.

A monetary amount.

Extends BaseNameType to allow for one Type attribute value, indicating the name is the name of record; serves as the primary name in some SIF objects, including StudentPersonal.

Code that specifies what type of name this is.

An unenumerated SIF object name.

A SIF XML object.

Provides information about a student's relationship to an organization.

Location of an individual's legal residence relative to (within or outside) the boundaries of the organization.

Flag that indicates if the reporting organization is providing instruction to the student.

Flag that indicates if the reporting organization is providing services that are not related to instruction to the student. An example of a non-instructional service is transportation.

Flag that indicates if the reporting organization is financially responsible for the student.

Extends BaseNameType to allow for Type attribute values excluding "name of record." Used for other names to be included in addition to the name of record in objects like StudentPersonal.

Code that specifies what type of name this is, excluding "name of record."

A year, with an optional month/day, or an optional month by itself.

A SIF XML object.

An unenumerated SIF object name.

Characteristics of the staff person identified by the district which the state uses to perform its matching logic.

Specified if the requesting agency believes it knows the person’s state Id.

This is the requesting agent’s unique Id for the person.

Requesting agency’s local zone’s GUID of the person’s data source object.

Social security number of the person.

The name(s) of the person.

The name(s) of the person.

The address(es) of the person.

The address(es) of the person.

Demographic information about the person. This will typically be the core matching information. Privacy considerations may mean that it is filled differently here than it might be in a local object, but it must include enough to drive the state's matching algorithms.

Typically used to provide the state information about a person's parents and legal guardians.

Typically used to provide the state information about a person's parents and legal guardians.

Relationship to the person.

The name(s) of the contact.

The name(s) of the contact.

OtherIds associated with the contact .

The highest level of education completed by the contact person.

This should match StudentSchoolEnrollment/EntryDate.

Start date for a range that is being requested. In most cases this will correspond to the school entry date.

End date for a range that is being requested. In most cases this will correspond to the school exit date.

Additional person identifiers not represented elsewhere in Characteristics (e.g. the driver's license number of the person ).

SIF_Metadata’s TimeElement may be specified to indicate a time duration to which the characteristics apply (as opposed to adding new elements to Characteristics). This metadata may be supplied by systems that know a student existed in a district during a certain time period (e.g. a system initiating a student record exchange). If the responder is able to make use of the metadata, it may do so to narrow down the student look-up; otherwise the metadata can be ignored or logged.

Characteristics of the student identified by the district which the state uses to perform its locator matching logic.

Specified if the requesting agency believes it knows the person’s state Id.

This is the requesting agent’s unique Id for the person.

Requesting agency’s local zone’s GUID of the student's data source object.

The name(s) of the person.

The name(s) of the person.

The address(es) of the person.

This should match StudentSchoolEnrollment/EntryDate.

Start date for a range that is being requested. In most cases this will correspond to the school entry date.

End date for a range that is being requested. In most cases this will correspond to the school exit date.

Indicates the date the person's graduated Year, Year and Month, or Year, Month and Day may be specified. Intended to facilitate locating persons that may not be currently enrolled in a school or district, particularly in the context of locating student identifiers for initiating a request for a student's academic record. Supplied date values may often be approximations made by the entity endeavoring to request a student's academic record.

The name of the school last attended by the person.

The location of the school last attended by the person (e.g. city or county name, district name, etc.).

Additional person identifiers not represented elsewhere in Characteristics (e.g. the driver's license number of the person ).

SIF_Metadata’s TimeElement may be specified to indicate a time duration to which the characteristics apply (as opposed to adding new elements to Characteristics). This metadata may be supplied by systems that know a student existed in a district during a certain time period (e.g. a system initiating a student record exchange).
