EducationScheduling & Attendance3MediumSpecials Teacher$ implied
A specials teacher loses prep periods when classroom teachers forget to bring their classes, and there is no reliable way to remind or track these scheduled sessions.
Current methods rely on teacher memory and manual reminders; there is no automated system to alert teachers of upcoming specials or to notify the specials teacher when a class is absent.
