See subject, page 13 at http://www.lsv.ens-cachan.fr/%7Emarkey/BibTeX/doc/ttb_en.pdf, and line 60 in biblatex_check.py

The biblatex documentation reads:

mastersthesis Similar to @thesis except that the type field is optional and defaults to the
localized term ‘Master’s thesis’. You may still use the type field to override that.

Thesis is listed as:

Required fields: author, title, type, institution, year/date

I don't see reference to a school field, however it looks like BibTex uses school instead of institution.

Perhaps support could be added for school or institution to all types that currently expect institution

Found in the documentation: '''Traditional BibTeX uses the field name school for theses, which is supported as an alias. See also §§ 2.2.5 and 2.3.4.'''
