Logic and Validations

The following describes the logic and setup used in the Staff Credentials Import.

  • Each line should represent a staff member's education degree or highly qualified status. A staff person with more than one credential record will have a line for each.
  • Any employment credential record with an employment credential type of HQ or ED will be imported for staff members who have a Staff State ID and an active district employment record.
  • Staff matching logic verifies using the SAUID and the StaffStateID.
