3.1.5. SRS Staff Report
Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Discussion:
SRS In December, the SRS team welcomed Rita McKinney to our staff as the new helpdesk specialist. With Rita and Trevor’s assistance, the helpdesk is caught up with tickets and normally all tickets have a response the same day or within 1 day of being submitted. The SRS team released an update in December which included a compliance update to the IFSP form and corrected a number of small issues with the operation of the system, from printing anomalies, data validation fixes and improvements to the student search/list portion of the software. The input from helpdesk tickets has been used to prioritize and inform these updates. The team is working toward a contract with a partner to help optimize the SRS database. The database improvements will make the system perform faster as well as providing a solid foundation for updating SRS, 504, and making future enhancements. Technology Team The technology team is continuing work on software improvements for the Project PARA and NVIS applications. Project PARA is planned for soft release (new registrations only) beginning in February, 2022 and NVIS by April 1, 2022.
