Add students to the database. Remove inactive students from the database.

Test Plan Browser Testing:     Test the websites work for IE 8, Firefox, and Safari.   Load Process Test:     Mock up Ten Day Lists, and ensure successful data loading. Load Testing:      A selection of currently enrolled students will attempt to access that website at the same time. This will also be a large browser test, and a test of the load process, as any student logging in will be loaded via a Mock Ten Day List.
