Local named facts include KICD, CBC Kenya, Kenya Shilling, January term. Instrument: holiday master as the only weekday map. Kenya Shilling tuition and transport; CBC Kenya stage changes should not silently clone fee structures. January term is the national default; international overlays must still share working days.

Homeroom and period marks still read that map. Late joiners must not be absent before they enrolled. Statutory attendance codes (where they exist) are local. Do not import Ofsted codes onto a CBSE campus by default. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
