Core Years API doesn't match value for API's that use Years as a filter or Years and Term in UI

Has anyone else come across a situation where they executed the “Core Years” API to pull back the “school_year_label" to then pass the value into another API to filter and realize they are not the same?

Here is the response when running the “Core Years” API:

I then ran the “Dorms” API which allows for you to pass in the school year

If you note, the filter has spaces! I went to check how the UI was showing the data under Settings > School Information > Years and Terms, and it also has spaces. Why would the Core Year API not include spaces?

    In this case, the Dorms endpoint parameter is incorrect and will need to be corrected. I will add it to our backlog and get that corrected.

    This has been updated. The school year parameter should accept the label with or without spaces now. Thanks for pointing out that inconsistency.
