
Issue: Rooms with no capacity (zero student stations) have been

Number of Rooms Available



Corrective Action: No Corrective Action.
This listing provides District staff with the data to determine if additional
students/programs/teachers could be placed in a school.
Generally, to account for special use rooms, the lowest number of
rooms available is divided by 2 to equal the number of potential rooms
available for use.
Number of Rooms Available


Issue: Rooms scheduled should only have an E or F room utilization
code. Each period is listed here with the total number of students.
Corrective Action: Go to the TERMS C01 panel and remove codes
from scheduled rooms (except ESE and Fee-paid) and review the data
by period. If periods are listed that exceed compliance, a resolution will
need to be determined.

Elementary PK Report

Issue: Non-ESE Pk classes are listed.

Corrective Action: ONLY classes that are ESE classrooms should be
listed. They should have an “E” Room Utilization code in the TERMS C01
panel. If not ESE, change the period ending to ’88’ in the TERMS C17 panel.
Elementary Over/Under Report

Issue: Classes exist in which
leveling can take place or are
shaded red.

Corrective Action: Review

student placement to see if
there is a classroom that is
under compliance within the
Level
same grade. If a classroom is
over compliance, ensure that
there is not a double scheduled
room.

Issue: Courses in which
there are both (under) and
enrolled sections
within the same period and
course number are listed.


Corrective Action:
