Unexcused Absence should not be hardwired into the system

Due to the fact that we would like our Administration and Attendance personnel to be the ones to determine if an attendance is unexcused and we would like that to work within conduct to send out infractions as needed, we need to ask teachers to not use the Unexcused Absence. But, that is currently one of only two attendance buttons that are hardwired to be visible to faculty. Sure, we can work around it by renaming it, but it should be something, as with all the other attendance, that we can choose if our faculty see.

    We have a similar issue. Our teachers have the option to choose "tardy unexcused," which will trigger an infraction to be sent for approval. However, teacher may choose late if they're not sure if it's excused or not. Then our conduct manager has to change the entry to tardy unexcused. In this case, the tardy unexcused doesn't get recorded as an infraction. The conduct manager then has to go in an add an infraction for each student. We would like the infraction to record even if it's changed after the initial entry.
