Information Item
Discussion:
Working with our SRS Advisory team, the development team has prepared two new forms: Consent for Outside Agency Involvement and Invitation to Meeting. These are being reviewed by KSB School Law and are planned for release as soon as the review is complete. We include other routine bug fixes in updates as needed. The project to update the database and software environment continues. We are only upgrading the building blocks of the software to their current versions to ensure security and our ability to maintain and update the system into the future. As such, we don't expect breaking changes or disruption to users of the system when the changes roll out. During the spring, it will be released on our staging servers for key user testing and with successful testing the updated version will roll out in early July, 2024. Additionally, we are reaching out to ESUs and SRS districts to ask for feedback on the system and which future needs and enhancements they would like to see.
