Our students generally have one unstructured period during the day.  Although the student is not in a class, the student is none the less on campus.  In the case of an accountability event (fire, bomb scare, gas leak or just a drill) the school needs to be able to account for this student.  Currently, the student can not be marked as dismissed during an unstructured period (it will not save the dismissal), so in the case of an event the attendance reports will be inaccurate if the student has indeed been dismissed.
