Delete Buildings

Buildings should only be deleted if they were created in error. Buildings that are no longer in use that still have historical students attached should be inactivated. Inactive buildings can be included in reports, but deleted buildings cannot.

A building can only be deleted if there are no students associated with that building; students will first need to be reassigned. If associated students only need to be reassigned to one other building, consider merging the buildings rather than reassigning students and deleting the building.
