Information Item
Discussion:
The 504 features were released on November 1st, 2022. The ESPD affiliate met to discuss the new system and develop a presentation deck. Rita McKinney and Trevor Paschall have held 3 Zoom training sessions on the new features. There will be some changes to make to the 504 system as more people use it and find things which can make it work better and easier. It has been a positive experience for users so far.
Our contractor X-Eqt continues work on the updated code and database for SRS. This work will be ongoing throughout this school year and will be released next summer. We made updates to SRS’s ADVISER reporting system this year. Many of the errors our users experienced are related to the way records were generated last year and we should not see these same problems in the future. We will continue to update and improve this part of the system to reduce errors and the amount of manual entries that districts make. The ESPD affiliate had feedback for us about helpdesk procedures and we will continue to make adjustments to improve our customer experience.
