Assign Staff to Course-Sections
On this page:
For Texas state reporting, districts must track dates for teacher assignments for the Fall submission's Staff Responsibilities Extension and the Class Roster submission's Teacher Section Association Extension. The Master Schedule Primary Staff and Secondary Staff fields display the current staff assignments.
Turn off Staff Date tracking when you create next year's schedules as it is not necessary to track staff changes by date before the start of a school year. At the start of the school year, run Generate Course Staff Date-Tracking Data to create the staff date tracking records for the current staff assignments.
Primary and Secondary Staff Tracking
Menu Path: From the Scheduling menu, choose Courses, choose Course Sections, and then select Master Schedule.
You can add primary and secondary staff for courses during student enrollment or any time in the school year. Click the Primary Staff or Secondary Staff links in the Staff and Room Information section to open the Staff Date Tracking window. You can assign a teacher to a course-section or review date ranges where a primary or secondary staff member changed.
Refer to the Staff Date Tracking section of the documentation for how to assign staff members. The following field descriptions describe information for Texas state reporting.
