School Track Setup Form

The School Track Setup Form is used to maintain the school tracks for the school entries in CARE. The school track feature allows CARE Administrators to assign a vacation schedule at the "school level" in addition or instead of the "district level". Note: Each school may have one or more tracks.

School tracks are assigned to children on the Child Form: School Page.
