Teacher role access in Chicago
scoping teacher access in school software in Chicago: role-scoped views of classes, not the whole ledger. ISBE, CPS, AP, IB. Data-minimisation duties are local. Role scope is how you operationalise them.

Teacher role access in Chicago
Chicago independents, Catholic schools, and CPS share a metro. ISBE context and CPS calendars are not interchangeable with independent September rhythms, even when they start the same month.
Snow days and polar-vortex closures belong on the holiday master. Independent fees in US Dollar. Local named facts include CPS, ISBE, US Dollar, snow days. Instrument: role-scoped views of classes, not the whole ledger. US Dollar independent tuition; lunch and after-school named heads. September opening; snow days must be official working-day exceptions.
Small schools still need this. One admin wearing three hats is a person with three roles, not “everyone can see everything.” Data-minimisation duties are local. Role scope is how you operationalise them. 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.
