Add a summary count of Attendance Note code usage - similar to the AL code counts on this page already.
This would be useful for attendance clerks to quickly see how often a particular code has been used for a student.
Specifically, parents are allowed up to 10 excused absences before a doctor's note is required. Any instances in which a doctors note is provided do not count against that 10 allowance. Having the summary count would allow for quick check if the allowance of 10 excused (non-physician noted) has been exhausted.

The Discipline Letters are still pulling the [Disposition] value from ADS.DS which is no longer used.
The Discipline Letter template has a "Disc Text 4" section that includes the various dispositions for the incident.
Having letters generate with blank Disposition descriptions makes the letter confusing to parents.
How can a feature that is part of the core functioning of the application go so long without being addressed?For reference - Support Ticket: 407926

Stop logging a CON.ELV entry in the CALPADS log that has both the Old and New values as blank.
We end up with CALPADS logs that look like this.

This would be great! We typically only grant groups to users and not direct permissions. We currently have to add calendar reminders for ourselves to remove temporary groups from users.

Further, the flowchart algorithm currently includes "has portal access" as a determiner for being included as a reported contact. We have had a case when a grandmother that does not live with the student, but had portal access was included in the SINF as a guardian. We do not believe that simply having been granted portal access should qualify as being a reportable guardian to CALPADS.

Additional thoughts now that CALPADS has switched to the SINF file format with multiple guardian fields.
The education level is required for reported guardians. The reported education level is then used as a factor for determining socio-economic disadvantaged status. When multiple guardians are reported, if one of the guardians have the 15 - Decline status ... then the student will automatically not qualify. However, IF only one guardian is reported then ONLY that guardian's ed level would be required.
The flowchart based algorithm can include unexpected/undesired contacts as part of the reported guardians. This can cause SINF submission errors and worse - possibly incorrect socio-economic status determination.

A common practice I am finding is that the school clerks are creating a seperate google worksheet, to keep track of various notes and parent engagement activities.
Having a comments field and possibly a follow up date may be useful to aid our staff in managing their engagement with the guardians while the enrollment is pending final enrollment.
