SPEDSM-64752

IPP, ISP-A,B, and C Forms

We’ve made improvements to the Signature Page in the IPP and ISP (A, B, C) documents to simplify and standardize staff position entry.

What’s Changed:

  • If a staff member does not have a position linked to their name, you will now see a drop-down list to select the position instead of a plain text box.

  • We’ve added an "Other" option in the position list. If selected, a text box will appear where you can manually enter the position.

    • This update also applies to non-lookup staff entries — a drop-down will now be available instead of a simple text field.
