State: open

From Chicago:
This would be fantastic but may be a bit much, as it has at least three parts:

1) Ability to connect & easily change a single or multiple school contact emails to a particular school name (Title: First Name: Last Name: Email address:
2) Comm. panel recipient search allowing "Schools" who have/do not have "Students signed up" etc.
3) Schools student attendance/signup roster invocation {{school.roster}} {{school.attendance}} etc.
(contacts name invocation would be nice, but less important {{school.contact_titleandlastname}} --> e.g. calls "Mr. ___")
Potential issue: Unknown gender - has happened before with odd names

This is one of two things which still requires a great deal of outreach administrative manpower - recently, the ability to split "generate list of users" to include "by school" was added but as of yet, in order to communicate this data w/ our schools, it's a manual copy/paste gmail-out process.
This would be valuable
during outreach for a program (updates on what kids have signed up so far),
right before a program (students to remind in person about attending program),
during a program (weekly updates on attendance -- see below for longer program attendance feature request)
after a program (summary of attendance, with final thank yous)
