Internal recurring-maintenance registry.
Use this page to identify HappyFox articles whose content, schedules, external references, or procedures require regular review. This registry does not replace the canonical article owner. It records what must be watched, what triggers a review, which source is authoritative, and which downstream articles may need follow-up.
Current baseline — August 21, 2026 project workday
Latest source exports: External_Knowledge_Base_Export_20260822001336.csv and Internal_Knowledge_Base_Export_20260822001353.csv. The filenames are server-dated 20260822. Article 737 was unused in both exports and is available for this registry.

How to Use This Registry

Not every article that mentions a school year should be rewritten every year. The maintenance model has two levels:

LevelMeaningExpected action
Living / volatile ownerThe article intentionally contains current dates, current status, current form/version information, current external specifications, current report names/numbers, or current recurring schedules.Update the canonical owner when the source changes, then inspect dependent articles for copied values or affected instructions.
Annual / seasonal reviewThe procedure is mostly durable, but should be rechecked at a predictable point in the year or when its underlying system behavior changes.Verify the procedure still matches SIRAS and still routes to the living date/source owner. Edit only when needed.
Maintenance principle:
Keep volatile facts in the smallest practical number of canonical living pages. Stable workflow articles should link to those owners instead of copying dates, schedules, report numbers, or status text unnecessarily.

Do not leave old cycle status such as “Closed,” “TBD,” or a prior form version after the new cycle opens.
52 — DRDP Help for AdminsAdministrator-facing DRDP cycle status, current forms/version, exceptions list, deadlines, query expectations, and error-monitoring guidance.Before each Fall and Spring cycle and whenever DRDP requirements/forms/exception handling change.Maintain 29 and 52 as a coordinated pair; use 253 as the exact deadline authority where practical.
362 — SIRAS SEDS Coordinator NewsDated SIRAS/SEDS communications, current-year notices, reporting locks, rollovers, implementation changes, and preserved historical context.As communications occur and when a current notice becomes historical or is superseded.Maintain through internal Article 709. Current work should route to current procedure articles; 362 preserves the dated history.

Annual / Seasonal Review Pages

These pages are not necessarily living date authorities. They should be deliberately reviewed because their procedure or navigation is tied to a recurring annual cycle.

When to Add an Article to This Registry

During a new article or revision, consider 737 when the content includes any of the following:

  • a current school-year or reporting-cycle date;
  • a deadline, certification window, rollover date, or current status;
  • “open,” “closed,” “TBD,” “confirmed,” “scheduled,” or similar cycle-state language;
  • a current form/version name or assessment version;
  • a current external specification, code set, report number, or report name;
  • a recurring meeting/office-hour schedule or temporary cancellation notice;
  • a current-year notice that will later become historical;
  • a procedure whose behavior should be deliberately verified at a predictable annual/seasonal point.
Do not register every article that merely says “annual.”
Use 737 when there is a real maintenance obligation. Stable procedure articles should remain stable and point to the correct living owner for dates/status whenever possible.

Maintenance Checklist

  1. Confirm the source. Identify the authoritative external document, internal operational schedule, or canonical HappyFox owner.
  2. Update the living owner first. Do not begin by editing every downstream article that repeats the value.
  3. Search for copied volatile values. Check exact dates, report numbers, form versions, “open/closed/TBD” text, and old status language.
  4. Prefer routing over duplication. Replace copied values with a descriptive link to the canonical living page when the downstream article does not need the exact value to explain the task.
  5. Preserve role/workday navigation. Providers and administrators should still find the task in the language of their work.
  6. Preserve minimal-click resolution routing. Updating a date/source must not accidentally add unnecessary hops to a Show Me procedure.
  7. Verify links, screenshots, and video. Current-cycle media or forms must match the maintained version.
  8. Re-export and verify production. Do not treat the maintenance item as complete until the current production source reflects the change.
  9. Update 737 when the maintenance obligation changes. Add new living owners, remove retired obligations, and adjust cadence/source notes as the architecture evolves.
Simple rule:
737 tells us what needs recurring maintenance and what triggers it; 720 still tells us what owns what; 727 tells us how to write/update it; 728 tells us how the work moves to verified production.
