Report Logic

Support staff who are actively employed by the district as of the entered Effective Date are included in the report.  

A District Assignment Title of one of the following codes needs to be assigned for the staff to report:

  • IAS - Instructional Aids
  • SAS - School Admin Support Staff
  • LMS - Library Media Support Staff
  • ADS - LEA Admin Support Staff
  • OTH - Other Support Staff.

The report looks at the Standard Code assigned to the Title in the Attribute/Dictionary. Verify these values are assigned to the EmploymentAssignment > Title attribute. It should look like this:

A staff person's District Assignment record would have the Title field populated with one of the appropriate values.
