Add the ability to balance classes to include multiple student fields such as gender, IEP, 504 and language fluency when scheduling
Please add the ability to balance classes to include multiple student fields such as gender, IEP, 504 and language fluency when scheduling so that we can work to avoid inequitable distribution or concentration of any student group in SMS/MST. Currently this must be addressed manually.

PLEASE add this feature. We currently have to hand input course requests for these pinks and blues.

Provide some key fields such as, Special Ed, Race, Ethnicity on the sections where the students are displayed in SMS/MST to provide the visual information to ensure that classes are balanced.

We would like to build ethnic balancing. Besides class size, and gender, we would like to have ethnic balancing based on demographic data. This would be an option along with the other two (class size and gender) in which a school could select which options were enabled and in what priority to use them.

Create a feature to help with building balanced classes for next year that include criteria like IEP/504, EL, High/Med/Low academically, behavior issues, etc.
