Please consider adding this field prior to Next Gen Aeries as their seems to be a pause on next gen.

As more and more students wish to use their preferred pronouns, please consider adding this to Aeries before the Next Gen Roll-out. Thank you.

I am submitting an Aeries Ticket and a programming idea request. There is a conflict with Aeries and CALPADS regarding the proper usage of the alias name fields. I am hoping for the programmers at Aeries acknowledge this conflict and update the title of their alias fields to state “Legal Alias First Name,” “Legal Alias Last Name” and “Legal Alias Middle Name.”
This alias name data does get extracted into the SINF and uploaded to CALPADS. Therefore, only LEGAL previous names should be in these fields. PLUS, for privacy reasons and to adhere to recent law, we need to ensure that teachers and other staff within LEA’s do NOT see the previous legal name information, especially in the case when a name change is due to a gender change. Those student’s now have the right, by law, to insure only “need to know” staff at LEA’s can view their previous legal name information. Currently, due to the Aeries/CALADS conflict on the purpose of the use of the alias fields, LEA’s have incorrectly been putting nick names (not legal) in these alias fields and that data is seen by teachers and in some attendance and other reports in Aeries when it should not be.

We have a large number of students who would benefit from this option in our district. This would be great to be part of Aeries Next Generation.
This is also in conjunction with idea CALPADS Extract Pull From LSI.GN

This is a needed field to to be in compliance with AB 711 and support students. In addition to selecting pronouns, we should have the ability to enter in selections. I disagree with the use of "preferred". Just "pronouns" would be sufficient.

Also consider including options like "He/They" and "She/They" for those who are happy with the variations.

Could this be extended to Staff?

Near the legal or preferred gender, a front facing "preferred pronouns" drop-down(?) seems to be needed to get teachers compliant with AB711
