Deactivate a School

Overview​

Use Deactivate to mark a school as inactive in the District/Division area. This page is helpful when you need to remove a school from active workflows, such as when a school closes or is no longer participating in Work Based Learning.

Permissions / Access​

Who can perform this action?

  • WBL administrator
  • School administrator

Work Based Learning -> District/Division -> Schools -> Deactivate School

Steps​

  1. Select the Work Based Learning tab.
  2. Choose the District/Division area and select the target district or division.
  3. Click the Schools tab.
  4. Locate the school in the list using the search field or filter controls.
  5. Click Deactivate on the school's card.
  6. Click OK on the pop-up message.

Result​

  • The school is marked as inactive.
  • The school is removed from active school lists and workflows.
  • Historical records for the school are retained for reporting purposes.
  • Existing student assignments or experience records may be affected — verify the impact before confirming deactivation.

Notes / Tips​

  • Deactivating a school cannot be immediately reversed — confirm the action is necessary before proceeding.
  • Review any active students or ongoing experiences associated with the school before deactivation.
  • Deactivated schools may still appear in historical reports and records.

Troubleshooting​

Common issue: The Deactivate button does not appear or is disabled.

Solution: Confirm you have the required permissions (Department Manager or Company Manager) and that the school is active. Some schools may have restrictions preventing deactivation.

Common issue: Deactivation fails due to active records.

Solution: Review and resolve any outstanding student assignments, experiences, or pending approvals before attempting deactivation again.
