Option to extract teacher course shell in the survey when there is a vacant position with a sub
Currently, when a class in Skyward is assigned a vacancy, no teacher course record is generated in the survey extract. In many cases, these vacancies are being covered by substitute teachers; however, without an associated teacher record, districts may experience funding impacts due to the absence of a teacher assignment on the reported course.
To address this issue, districts currently rely on a manual workaround that requires creating substitute teacher course records for each vacant section in the Maintain. This process is extremely time-consuming, particularly when multiple vacancies exist within a school, as staff must recreate the entire teacher course record for every affected section.
If a configuration option could be implemented to generate a shell teacher course record in the extract for vacant sections, districts would have the ability to simply update the substitute teacher information in Maintain rather than manually building the entire record from scratch. This would significantly reduce the administrative burden on district staff while also minimizing the risk of data entry errors and funding loss.
