An early version of the updated software has been installed on a staging server and is going through internal testing with our team.

A sub-committee is working on updating the IEP services tab to address needs found during file reviews, to improve the recording of accommodations and supports, and ADVISER reporting data. Rita McKinney (SRS helpdesk and communications specialist) and Scott Isaacson presented a session at the NDE data conference April 16th-17th, 2024. The SRS team has met with 30+ districts in Zoom sessions to hear their feedback on the software, and has collected feedback from 40+ through a Google feedback form.
