If Campus Human Resources is enabled, District Assignment information is maintained in the Personnel Master. See the following article for more information: Campus SIS Integration with Campus HR.
District Assignments are used when assigning course sections to teachers. Only teachers in the selected school who are employed during the date range can be assigned to sections.
A staff member’s employment record is organized into two areas - the district of employment and the school(s) to which the person is assigned.
District Assignments Editor
The available fields and data elements on the District Assignment editor vary from state to state. See the Localizations page for specific state information.
District Assignments Editor
The following fields are available on the District Assignments editor.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| School | Indicates at which school building the staff person is employed. |
| Department | Indicates the assigned area within the school where the staff person is assigned. The list is populated from the available Departments at the district. This is used for scheduling purposes. |
Start Date Required | Indicates the date the staff person began employment at the selected school. This is the very first date the staff member was employed at the school. Dates are entered in mmddyyyy format or the calendar icon may be used to select a date. |
| End Date | Indicates the date the staff person ended employment at the selected school. This is the very last date the staff member was employed at the school. Dates are entered in mmddyyyy format or the calendar icon may be used to select a date. A District Assignment record is considered active through midnight on the entered end date. For example, if the district assignment record is ended for a staff person as of September 19, the district assignment record is considered active until midnight on September 19. At 12:01am on September 20, the district assignment record is no longer active. |
| Title | Position name of the staff person. This list of titles is editable within the Attribute/Dictionary. See the Attribute Dictionary documentation for additional information. |
| Type | Indicates the position of the staff member. |
| FTE of Assignment | Indicates what portion of the employee’s FTE percent this particular district assignment represents. The field accepts both decimal and whole numbers (e.g., .5 or 50 to represent a half-time assignment). It is important for consistency and accuracy of reporting that the same numbering system is used for all employees (e.g. FTE of Assignment in decimal format for all employees). Not all states use this field. The District Employment editor also includes a FTE Percent field. |
| Assignment Code | The Assignment Code field is an auto-complete field that is dynamically searchable depending upon user-entered text. This information is populated by the values stored in the Attribute Dictionary. If an entered search request does not match any entries in the dictionary, a warning message displays indicating the user should modify the entered search results. |
| District Assignment Checkboxes | These checkboxes determine, in addition to appropriate tool rights, what access a user has to certain areas of the product. See the District Assignment Checkboxes section for more information. |
| Health License | Indicates the title of the health staff member. This value only pertains to staff with the Health checkbox marked. This field defaults to hidden. The display name and values populated in the dropdown can be modified in the Attribute/Dictionary at System Administration > Custom > Attribute/Dictionary > EmploymentAssignment > HealthLicense. See the Attribute Dictionary documentation for additional information. |
| Supervisors | Denotes the staff person as being a supervisor within the department. If a staff member is marked as a Supervisor on the District Assignment record, this field is available. |
| External LMS Exclude | When marked, prevents this record from being shared with external learning management systems, such as through OneRoster or a custom district configuration. |
| Teaching Mode | Indicates an alternative mode of instruction the staff person uses when teaching classes. |
| Exclude | When marked, the district assignments record is not included in state reporting. It's used in Ed-Fi reporting (Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Wyoming) and for other state reporting needs. |
District Assignments Checkboxes
A series of checkboxes display on the District Assignments tool that determine, in addition to the appropriate tool rights, what access a user has to certain areas of the product. The following defines what tool rights need to be given and when these checkboxes should be selected.
These checkboxes are used by other areas of the product (e.g., My Data, Emergency Messenger, Ad hoc Reporting) to differentiate between types of staff members.
In addition to the selections made on the District Assignments tool, appropriate tool rights need to be assigned.
