Texas Specific
Ed-Fi - The following entities were added: Ed-Fi TSDS Pilot Staff, Staff Education Organization Assignment Association, and Staff School Association.
Calendar
An Override Minutes field was added to each date for multi-track schools, allowing an admin user to enter minutes for a particular date that will override the calculated Instructional and Operational Minutes for that particular date and track. The new field appears once a track is selected. See EducationOrgCalendar Interchange - Field Mapping and Rules.
An error message is now displayed if non-instructional days are entered on the default calendar and those non-instructional days do not apply to all tracks.
Attendance Reporting Periods - The Use Instructional Time to Calculate Operational Minutes field was added allowing the Operational and Instructional Minutes to be calculated based on the Start/End Time entered for a particular track rather than a district's bell schedule. The option can be used when a district has a contract/MOU with another district to provide a particular service such as special education for a population of students, and the contracted district has a different calendar and bell schedule than the home district. The option only applies districts that use multi-track. See Texas Attendance Reporting Periods.
