Add the ability for students and teachers to be linked to multiple schools

Feature Suggestions

We have students who are linked to their main school but they are also enrolled at another school for a certain program. Currently, teachers at the second school who teach that program are not able to see their students because the student is only linked to one school. Visibility and access to the correct students is very important and we have many instances like this.

    More information about the root cause and potential solution:

    The issue is that when syncing multiple SIS integrations into one platform the unique id’s assigned to teachers and students will be different for each integration. Since students and teachers can only have one one unique id associated with their account, anything that doesn’t match isn’t syncing.

    A potential solution would be to add a check to match student and teachers based on their email address if no match is found based on unique id. So if there is an enrollment record from a different school, instead of showing no teacher because the teacher has an id tied to a different school’s SIS integration, do a request for the teacher information for the unmatched teacher to get the email address, then pull the SIS id tied to the teacher from Jobready (based on the same email address) and insert an enrollment record into our database using the SIS ID for the teacher that we have on file in place of the unmatched teacher ID.

    We would then do the same procedure for students.
