School counselors separate disruptive student pairs during scheduling, but students get themselves switched back together through the counseling office, and there is no flag or lock to prevent re-pairing them.

Workarounds Described

• Counselors manually switch classes for students who request to be together
• No automated flag or lock to prevent re-pairing separated students

Implied Software Gaps

• Software that can enforce separation rules and prevent unauthorized schedule changes
• A system that logs and alerts on attempts to override separation constraints

ClassCompose Guard

A module for school scheduling systems that enables administrators to create hard separation rules between specific students. These rules cannot be overridden by counselors unless elevated privileges and confirmations are provided, ensuring that classroom compositions align with behavioral and academic goals.
