The Team Members tool lists the individuals who are part of a student's special education team, including counselors, case managers, family and service providers. The Role assigned to team members determines whether the student appears in the team member's Caseload. Members can be added through finding an existing person and linking them or by entering a person without consulting Census.

When adding team members, only add those who need access to the student in a special education context. Teachers who only need to know that a student has an IEP and do not need access to read it should not be added to the team. They will see an icon on the roster for students with IEPs.
