The approach to scheduling yard duty is:
- Defining yard duty structures (on page ) taking into account:
- new teachers
- part-time teachers
- changes to the availability of full-time teachers; particularly, before and after school.
- Use AutoPlace to schedule yard duty. See Scheduling yard duty rosters (on page ).
- Review rosters (on page ), including:
- Previewing the Yard Duty Cross Check report (on page )
- Resolving unallocated cells on the yard duty roster (on page ).
- Rerun AutoPlace and analyse the roster:
- If all cells are allocated, review the Yard Duty Cross Check report to ensure equitable division of yard duty allocations.
- Reduce or increase maximum duration for individual teachers to resolve small errors.
- Output results so the teachers know when they are rostered on for yard duty. See Outputting yard duty rosters (on page ).
- Change teachers allocated to yard duty, taking into account swaps they have organised. See Changing yard duty rosters (on page ).
