Responsibility Relationship Information
The Student Responsibility Domain in Ed-Fi is primarily centered around the StudentEducationOrganizationResponsibilityAssociation resource. Its purpose is to track which education organizations are responsible for a student.
Purpose of the Domain
Many educational business processes require tracking more than just where a student attends school.
Examples include:
- Accountability responsibility
- Attendance responsibility
- Funding responsibility
Ed-Fi separates these responsibilities from enrollment so that enrollment and accountability can be managed independently.
