Records are excluded for any teacher with the Exclude from CR Winter field set to Yes.

If extracting basic Staff records from PowerSchool for the Winter Class Roster collection, ensure that all teaching staff have a value in the new field: S_TX_USR_X.E1377_Yrs_Prior_Teach_Exp. If left blank, the default output is 1.

    • Creditable Year of Service Indicator Code (E1721) is added to the output and appears just before the Teacher Incentive Allotment complex type.

    • E1722 Teacher Incentive Allotment Designation Code: the length of the field is updated from 2 to 20 characters to support multiple codes per teacher. Codes are stored as a comma-delimited list in S_TX_USR_X.E1722_Tch_Inc_Allot. Select all codes that apply.

      • (01) Active National Board Certified Teacher

      • (02) Active Teacher Incentive Allotment Designation

      • (03) LEA Submitted Designation Pending

    • Multiple records are output if applicable. If blank, the Teacher Incentive Allotment complex type is suppressed along with the Creditable Year of Service Indicator.

  • New Teacher School Association Complex Type

    • When the selected collection is TSDS Class Roster-Winter, an additional parameter is now available: Include the Teacher School Association Complex Type.

    • Set the option to Yes to include records for staff with no scheduled sections who have a non-NULL value for Teacher Incentive Allotment Designation Code (E1722) on the Staff Information page.

    • Qualifying teachers with multiple school assignments in PowerSchool are reported with a record for each school. District-level teachers are reported with a single record and the Campus ID is reported as the District ID with a suffix of 999.

    • Note: Staff are reported with either Teacher Section records or with at least one Teacher School Association record, but never both.

• Master Schedule, Staff and Student Enrollment Interchange Updates for Course Sequence Codes: The output of the Course Sequence Code element for trimester and quarter classes is updated to ensure that course sequences of 3/D3, 4/D4, or 5/D5 are reported for trimester classes taught in the year term and codes 6/D6, 7/D7, 8/D8, or 9/D9 are reported for quarter classes taught in the year term.
