Issue

The Initialize Attendance process does not include Teacher Only days with waiver minutes as valid Term (TRM) start or end dates.



NOTE: For PEIMS state reporting, any Calendar (DAY) dates contributing to Operational, Instructional, or Waiver minutes must be included within both the school calendar range and the begin/end dates of each Six-Week Attendance Reporting Period (ARP).

If a Teacher Only day with Staff Development Waiver Minutes is present, the date must be included in both the CalendarDate and ReportingPeriodExt entities for accurate state reporting. These dates must also be reflected in the Term (TRM) date range to ensure correct attendance and calendar minutes calculations.
