* (Asterisk) indicates that the SIF code mappings are created by the PowerSchool SIF Agent and not each district.
** The PowerSchool SIF Agent automatically sends the maximum allowed minutes for a PT day (360) regardless of the applied bell schedule.
Note: PowerSchool sends 9999 for any other district-created code that it cannot map using the rules above.
