# MinuteGrid

> Turn a caseload of service minutes into a weekly pull-out schedule that respects classroom blocks, lunch, specials and who cannot be grouped. Free, no sign up, and it runs in your browser.

MinuteGrid is a browser only scheduler for school based service providers: speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, resource teachers and case managers. It turns each student's service minutes (per week or per month) into a weekly pull-out schedule on a 15 minute grid, never breaks a hard rule (the provider's blocks, class blocks marked never, never group with, session length, group size, allowed days, buildings), and lists every unplaced session with its reason. It asks only for initials or a nickname for each student.

## Tool

## What it is not

- Not affiliated: MinuteGrid is not affiliated with any school district, state education agency, or professional association.
- Not a decision maker: it does not decide a student's services; it schedules the minutes the provider types.
- Not a student information system: no names, records, goals or disability categories are asked for, and nothing is uploaded.
- Not an attendance or notes tracker.
- Not legal advice: the guides cite federal rules with review dates, and district policy governs make-up sessions.
