Description
Original ticket from lloydleebarber edited to provide a summary and remove unnecessary details.
Ed-Fi does not document the definitions of descriptors and therefore some of the semantics can be unclear. This seems to be the case with Calendar Event Type, where it was unclear how to map from Ed-Fi's default descriptors to agency defined values.
From the original ticket description (see ticket history for original):
We have a data analyst that is helping write the descriptor mappings between Infinite Campus and Ed-Fi. I have provided a first pass for him to see how our values might be mapped to Ed-Fi descriptor values. The issue isn’t what those Ed-Fi values are, but what do they mean.
Here is a mapping table of what I am talking about…he’s having trouble mapping some of them because he doesn’t know what Teacher Only Day means, for example.
See below
Ed-Fi Value MNPS Value 1 - Emergency day 2 - Holiday CH - Holiday - Christmas
OH - Holiday - Other
SH - Holiday - Spring Break3 - Instructional day Normal School Day

OS - Discretionary - In Service
SP - Stockpile - Professional Development9 - Weather day SI - Stockpile Inclement Weather
For example: What does Student late arrival/early dismissal day mean in Ed-Fi data terms?
Note that Ed-Fi historically aligned/derived its values from the CEDS Calendar Event Type - https://ceds.ed.gov/CEDSElementDetails.aspx?TermId=11596
