See the Uploading Files section of the MT Data Upload article for detailed information about importing records via the MT Data Upload tool.
The Retrieve New Student State ID File option is only relevant to Student Demographic uploads. Please ignore this option when uploading staff data.
Upload Logic
This report can run against a district’s active year as well as any prior year and in both District Edition and State Edition against District Edition data.
Staff data is compared to existing data to determine when to create a new course record. When a section already has staff history associated, data is NOT imported. Data must match exactly on the following in order to successfully import:
- District Number
- School Number
- Calendar Number
- Course Number
- Section Code
