API updates

hasChildren flag on Academic Standards

Academic Standards responses now include a hasChildren boolean that indicates whether an item has child standards. Use it to show expand/collapse controls and to avoid unnecessary follow-up calls to the children endpoint. The flag is included on GET /academic-standards, GET /academic-standards/{caseIdentifierUUID}, and `GET /academic-standards//children endpoints.

Clearer descriptions for Learning Progressions endpoints

We’ve clarified the direction of the following endpoints:

English Language Arts (ELA) Learning Components

License and attribution statement values have been updated for each individual row.

Illustrative Mathematics

Improved data quality:
  • Trimmed whitespace from fields
  • Fixed inLanguage and gradeLevel fields where they didn’t match ENUM
  • Removed duplicate hasChild and hasReference relationships
  • Updated mutuallyExclusiveWith relationship to always be bi-directional
  • Added missing Material entities

Standards fixes

  • Montana Social Studies - Several standards had normalizedStatementType incorrectly set to null
  • New York Math - One standard had statementType and normalizedStatementType incorrectly set to null and was missing some Learning Component aligments
  • Indiana Science - Some standards had subject incorrectly set to “Other”
  • Removed a few Learning Components that were duplicated and causing inaccurate Jaccard scores for state Standards Crosswalks
