Description

Allow Access To All Students

Checkboxes that indicate if teachers and substitutes can see the All Students option for TAC's Attendance > Bulletin option and the Show All box on TAC's Student Search. These options allow a teacher to see all students in a building, including students the teacher does not teach.

To include all students on the bulletin and in searches, but limit teachers to only access the Student Details drawer for students they teach, set the Teacher Access Center Building Configuration page's 'Allow access to Student Summary of all students' box to unchecked.

Teachers May Access Cognos Reports
