1. Texas - Fix years in US Schools utility

   The Years in US Schools utility has never worked correctly. Not once. We need someone to revisit the flawed programming logic behind it. This should be a simple process and it is a nightmare every year. This was not a problem in either of the prior systems we utilized. We are tired of hand-correcting student records because the utility skips them. First, the utility should allow you to update blank years with zeros before running. It does not, and then it skips records with a blank year. Second, the utility should allow you to disregard the last updated year when running the increment process. It does not, and then skips records that have already been updated this year. Both of these items routinely cause the utility to skip records and we end up with a mess each time. Once the staff manually correct the records, then the utility will skip them again next year, creating a cascading effect where you will never be able to stop updating the years in US schools manually. We need this fixed so it works the way it should, and not another explanation of why it doesn't work, which is what we get every year when it creates a giant mess and we have to manually correct our students.
