Organizing schools and programs

[LBRB Training Coordinator]

Each school you create will appear as a radio button for every semester whether or not there are any programs or participants.  Schools should be considered permanent entities, and they are therefore typically created during the initial site configuration, or added as needed later on.  Think of a hierarchy where classes are run at a given school, and the class offerings change from semester to semester.

If you're running a sports program:  the analogy to a school is your program, and the analogy to a semester is your season.  Creating a program named "Fall 20xx" will create problems later on, because that will never go away.  A better choice for a program would be:  "Girls Lacrosse".  You would then create a season named "Fall 20xx".  The sports analogy for classes is teams, so organize your teams under the respective season.  Thus, you might have "3rd/4th Grade" and "5th/5th Grade" as teams under the Fall 20xx season in Girls Lacrosse.
