We have a nine period day. A teacher is assigned to a room as his HOMEROOM and has 5 classes to teach. The other 4 periods are assigned to two other courses, and that specific room is listed in the course record as the only resource for those two classes. Generate Master Schedule is not only NOT placing those additional courses in that room, it also is bumping the homeroom assigned teacher out of his room for other classes. I looked this up in the Knowledgebase (BB360614) which reads as follows: [blue](Homeroom)Teachers are not given priority of other teachers when scheduling for a room unless the room is designated as the teacher's homeroom . . . AND the room record is set to schedule only homeroom teachers in the room. . . . In order to make sure teachers are scheduled in their rooms before any other teacher is scheduled in the room, schedule the teacher's classes [b]MANUALLY[/b] for the room.[/blue] (CAPS are my editorializing). So what is the point of assigning a homeroom? Does this not seem to defeat the whole purpose of having a program to do scheduling? The purpose of the automatic scheduler, I would think, is to determine which of the nine periods are the best for that homeroom teacher's 5 classes, the periods with the least conflicts. If I have to schedule his classes manually I would just be shooting in the dark. Logic tells me that the heirarchy of scheduling should be 1) the homeroom teacher, 2) classes specifically asigned to that room, 3) other classes if space is left over. Am I just nuts? Am I missing something? Any ideas, folks? Director of Academic Computing Services Pope John XXIII High School Sparta NJ 07871 [i]--- Edited at 5/29/2007 9:22:26 AM by Anthony Celentano[/i]
