Although some users may have the ability to delete a child, you rarely would use this feature. This is because once a child is deleted from the system that child and all of his or her related information will be permanently erased from the database. An instance in which a child may be deleted is if the child was inadvertently entered into the system twice. User must be given user permission to delete children.
Once a child is added to Galileo, they be dropped from a class or center. To do this you will need to have been given the user permission to enroll and drop children at the agency level or allow users to enroll and drop children at the center level. If you have a student who has officially dropped from your agency, center, or class you may drop them from your center and/or class. Deleting a child permanently deletes all data for that child, including all assessment data.
