Add/Edit District Terms

Setting your district term(s) in Tech Admin is an important piece to controlling the user and class data that is loaded and used for each school year. Students’ grade levels and class associations are attached to a district term. These associations drive many things inside Benchmark Universe.

District terms can be added or edited by a credentialed Technical/District Administrator in the district. School Administrator are not granted this ability.

A valid district term must be added and active before a new school year’s data can be loaded into the system. District term start and end dates cannot overlap with a previous or future district term. A message will appear if a district term is invalid or missing information.
