An early version of the updated software has been installed on a staging server and is going through internal testing with our team. It will then be available for key user testing and with successful testing the updated version will roll out in early July, 2024. This work is on track for the July release. 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. Future/roadmap items for SRS include: 1. Electronic signatures 2. Synchronization with SIS, automation to improve ADVISER reporting 3. Make data entry screens and printed forms look the same (as much as possible) 4. Spanish translation and other languages - companion guide?
