Generation - StaffAssociation Interchange Data
Jason Hoekstra
This section outlines the StaffAssociation Interchange generation rules.
Input & Precursors
This document can be generated independently of other interchange files by providing input parameters (e.g., number of students, ethnicity and gender percentages, etc.), or as part of a generation run including Education Organizations.
Entities & Elements
Interchange-StaffAssociation.xsd contains the following entities:
- Staff
- StaffEdOrgEmploymentAssociation
- StaffEdOrgAssignmentAssociation
- StaffSchoolAssociation
- StaffSectionAssociation
- LeaveEvent

General Methodology
Staff expertise requirements are built using the data defined in the MasterSchedule.Section CSV input file. In this way we ensure the Staff generation process will create the correct number of staff with the correct qualifications to teach all sections defined in MasterSchedule.
