Staff Demographics
This view captures the core demographic record for teachers and staff. For each staff member in the district in the current year, the layout provides the School Name, Teacher Number, Staff Name, Gender, Unique Person ID, Last Publish Date, and the Publishing ID.
Each staff member must first have an assigned Unique Person Identifier (Unique ID) in order for the staff record to be published; the Ed-Fi publishing process automatically requests a Unique ID when needed. In turn, the publishing of all other staff-related Ed-Fi data is dependent on the successful publishing of the staff record; as needed, use the Publishing Errors data view to identify and resolve any issues.
