OneRoster API
Under certain conditions when using team teaching, the Get Teachers endpoint populated the username field of the current staff member with the email address of a different staff member from the same team, fixed.
The Get Teachers by Class endpoint was returning an error when searching for a teacher by class id number, fixed.
Query - Non-admin users were unable to query CAT, CAL, and CAS tables at both the district and school levels of a flex school, fixed. See Flex Scheduling - Student Attendance
CALPADS Programs Reference by Student Report - The report was including an extra list of EL students in addition to the students with the selected programs, fixed. Also, now supports gender instead of sex.
Aeries Mobile API - Teacher attendance in the Teacher app would return an error when there were periods not listed in the default bell schedule, fixed.

Texas Specific
TREx Export - The AAR-Transcript file ClassRank element will now honor the "Calculate Top X" rule for District GPAs. Also, students with certain Economic Disadvantaged codes were not extracting, fixed.
Master Schedule - The Calculate Monthly Minutes process was not including holidays within the process window (the 4 weeks leading up to Snapshot Day) as required by the State. This process has been adjusted for non-flex schools so that a holiday in the Calendar (DAY) will be counted as-if the class met based on other criteria such as the weekday tags (MTWTF). Also, classes that start or end mid-October, based on Term dates, will now count as-if they meet the entire month. Finally, the process will now ignore custom bell schedules for the same reason. Flex-scheduling schools do not have a way of determining "typical" months as they only define the dates that a class meets in class calendars (CCD). Aeries is researching potential solutions for Flex schools, but in the meantime recommends Query Change for MST.MMN within Flex-schools that have holidays in October.
