Do you only get this when you assign a homeroom? Homerooms don't do anything currently, so the quickest fix would be to remove those steps.

I am trying to reprouce this issue from a newly installed system on a testbed computer. It seems this issue is related to how you select weekday / holiday during schoolyear creation. I need further testing to verify if this happens when I define a time table beyond the working days. For the coherence of the system it should not allow me to define time table on non-weekdays if it cannot handle such case.

I will report back to you when I am in the office to be available to test whether or not it is caused by assign a homeroom. Homeroome is a new word to me, a look at wikipedia made me believe homeroom = the event that appear in journal. (it says so at the second sentance on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeroom). I didn't realize it was not implemented.

I suspect the mismatch between days in the year and the timetable is causing the problem.

For reference, if you set a homeroom, (when it is (re-)implemented), the attendance for the homeroom period is used to determine if the student was in attendance for the *day*, as opposed to just that period. This isn't relevant in post-secondary or lots of other cases, but in US schools, at least, it is an important legal requirement.

If I could successfully reproduce this problem by replacing step 6), from
    'answer "yes" to "Do you check student attendance for the day in a homeroom period or equivalent?"'
to
    'answer "no"...'
then does your suspect still holds?

Yes... when I first looked at the bug the first thing that jumped out at me was the homeroom thing, since I knew it was something that we hadn't really paid attention to in a long time.

Just to be clear -- I DON'T think the homeroom thing is the issue now. ;-)
