# Academic standard by ID

> Fetches a single StandardsFrameworkItem by its CASE UUID identifier.

A StandardsFrameworkItem represents an individual statement or structural element within a standards framework. These items can be normative statements that specify what students should know or be able to do (e.g., "Describe the impact of a transformation matrix on a graphical object"), or organizational groupings that structure the framework (e.g., domains, strands, clusters).

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Display the full details of a specific academic standard in your application
- Retrieve the exact statement text, grade levels, and classification for a known academic standard
- Trace an academic standard back to its source in the CASE Network via the CASE identifiers

The response includes the statement text, grade level(s), subject area, jurisdiction, and all source attribution required by the CC BY 4.0 license.

        Represents an individual statement or structural element within a

        StandardsFrameworkItems are the building blocks of academic standards
        documents. They can be:

        - **Learning expectations**: Normative statements that define what
        students should know or be able to do (e.g., standards, competencies,
        performance indicators)

        - **Organizational elements**: Structural groupings that organize
        learning expectations into coherent units (e.g., domains, strands,
        clusters, conceptual categories)


        Each item preserves the original statement text and metadata from state
        frameworks while including normalized properties that enable
        cross-framework queries and comparisons. Items maintain full
        traceability to their source in the CASE Network through CASE
        identifiers.

            This is a system-generated UUID that remains stable across data

            relationships.

          description: >-
            A UUID referencing the equivalent item in the CASE Network published
            by 1EdTech. Use this identifier to trace the standard back to its
            authoritative source, establish equivalence with other systems using
            CASE data, or cross-reference with official state documentation that
            includes CASE identifiers.

            within its standards framework context. Typically alphanumeric
            (e.g., "3.NF.A.1", "A.1B", "MP1") and reflects the standards
            framework's internal coding scheme. This is the code educators use
            to reference standards in curriculum materials, lesson plans, and
            assessment systems. May be null for organizational groupings that

            frameworks, this field preserves the exact terminology used in the

            enables cross-state queries like "find all actual standards" vs
