Primary PowerSchool Source Data
[Schools]
[Calendar_Day]
Selection Criteria
Records are published if the following criteria are met:
The school must not be marked as Excluded from State Reporting.
Publishing Logic:
calendarDate records will publish in-session days with the Calendar Event Descriptor value of "Instructional day" if the In-Session checkbox is checked in the school calendar (populating the Type field for in-session days is no longer required).
calendarDate records will now publish for non in-session days according to the following:
Non in-session days with a defined Type value (in the school calendar) will publish with the selected mapping value in the Calendar Event Descriptor Mapping field on the district-level New/Edit Calendar Membership Type page.
Non in-session days with a Type that is not mapped, in the Calendar Event Descriptor Mapping field, will publish with a Calendar Event Descriptor value of "Other".
Weekends and non in-session days that do not have a Type defined will publish with a Calendar Event Descriptor value of "Other".
