Geo Code Plan Area Page

On this page:

Use this page to add or change a plan area record. Plan areas define the range of house numbers for a street that will be associated with specific buildings and grades. These plans can be used to either assign buildings to students or validate student street addresses, depending on how Geo Code is set up in the Registration District Configuration page's Geo Code panel.

The Registration District Configuration page also determines what happens when you add a plan that overlaps another plan area:

• If the Allow Overlapping Plan Areas box is selected, the system displays a warning message when you enter a plan area that overlaps another area but allows you to save the overlapping plan.
• If the Allow Overlapping Plan Areas box is not selected, the system displays an error message and prevents you from saving the overlapping plan.

Caution

If a student's address matches more than one plan area or the zone assigned has multiple buildings of residence for the student's grade, then the Geo Code Building Assignment Page cannot assign a residence building or enrollment building for the student.

Similarly, in Enrollment Online, parent forms cannot display a suggested building if more than one building is found for a student's address and grade. As a result, when the form is accepted, the registrar will have to assign a building of residence.

Building/Grade Assignments Panel

This panel, which is used to assign students' buildings of residence, defines the buildings associated with a plan area. If you only use Geo Code to validate addresses, you can leave these fields blank.

If your district uses zones to assign buildings, the Zone Assignment panel displays instead of this panel.

Caution

If a student's address matches more than one plan area, or a plan area has multiple buildings of residence for the student's grade, then the Geo Code Building Assignment Page cannot assign a residence building or enrollment building for the student.

Similarly, in Enrollment Online, parent forms cannot display a suggested building if more than one building is found for a student's address and grade. As a result, when the form is accepted, the registrar will have to assign a building of residence.

Field	Description
