Page A Teacher is now editable (Released February 2015):

The A page teacher is now editable anytime that the IEP status of the IEP is validated. In the past, the IEP had to be open for Review, Reveal or Amendment. This is no longer the case.  To add staff according to the building listed on the family page of the child’s IEP, navigate to the Add Staff tab.  Select Add from the Action drop down and Building from the Staff In drop down, then click Display.  This will display any staff that have an assignment at the attending building listed on the child’s family page.
