Deleting Students
Who can do this with default capabilities?
School Network Administrators, School Network Staff, School Administrators
Note: Deleting a student record is not the same as permanently removing a student record when editing multiple students. If a student record has data attached to it, attempting to delete it will only deactivate it; permanently removing it will remove all traces of the record from the database.
If you are a school administrator, you can only delete students who are enrolled in your school; if you are assigned to more than one school, on the Home page, select your name and then select Change Role to select the school that you want to work with.
School Network personnel can delete a student who is enrolled in ay school. You cannot delete students who are not enrolled in a school.

You can recover students that have been deactivated instead of permanently deleted by either adding a student with the same name.
