To ensure accurate reporting to the Mississippi State Operational Data Store (ODS), the Student Information System must correctly publish the Classroom Position Type for all instructional staff assigned to a section. This includes Lead Teachers, Proctors, Paraprofessionals/Teacher Aides, and any additional co-teaching roles.
The system uses the Co-Teaching Roles assigned to section staff members, with each role linked to a specific Reference Code. These roles must be configured under System Management > Security > User Roles.
