    If you have current students in the database as I do, what do you do with them if they leave early and do not graduate? For example, you may have a kindergartner who only stays for that year. Do you delete them from the database? I plan on keeping the parent in the database, keeping the student in their relations tab, but removing the student.

    We never delete a student record. We put an end date on the "Student" constituency and add a second constituency code "attended-did not graduate)" on the top row. This code would be different than a "non-grad alum" code in that you would not include it in alumni reports and mailings. Mark F.
