School Zone Scheduler Improvements
The School Zone Schedule editing interface for both individual school zones and community schedules needs improvements. First and foremost, we should be able to import an ICS file, many school districts make them available to download/subscribe. This would drastically reduce the workload on map editors when it comes to updating the schedules each year, and if the right logic was applied, we could just subscribe the schedule in WME and the backend could look for student holidays, with editors able to verify those days.
The above would drastically reduce the need the need for the next part, which is the calendar picker. If I choose a start date in December, the end date should display December, and not the current month. Doing a range on a single calendar vs two calendar pickers would be ideal. Also having logic that looks at the previous date picked when adding a new date and starting in the same month would eliminate the need to click a bunch of times or type in the dates.

Great ideas for adding the hundreds of thousands of school zones.

Agree that interface needs to be improved. In particular, the entry and editing of community schedules. The process needs to evolve into a UI that is straightforward and on one screen. The Waze road closure in WME would be a good model. Then, the display/filtering of the available schedules improved. The naming process and display (including the COUNTRY/STATE) needs to be simplified and controlled by the module.
