SPSM-CA_21.12.1.0 Release Notes

Made minor text change from “Comprehensive Evaluation Process for English Learners (CEP-EL) and/or Emotional Disturbance (CEP-ED) is completed and attached to the signed, hard copy of the IEP and placed in the Special Education Container” to “Comprehensive Evaluation Process for English Learners (CEP-EL) and/or Emotional Disturbance (CEP-ED) will be completed and attached to the signed, hard copy of the IEP and placed in the Special Education Container.”

When the cover page indicates "Assessment Deemed not Necessary," the Assessment Signature page consent is no longer marked as required upon finalization.

• Modified the Assessment Plan Signature Page checkboxes to be editable in Review and Final mode.
• The Deems not Needed will appear in Draft and View mode, but it will not print.

• Modified the Assessment Plan, Digital Signature = On: when the page is marked as "No Response," the form should allow finalization and not require a signature date. 
• The signature area checkboxes are editable in Draft and Review mode.

• Modified CALPADS records to save again upon form finalization. We found that staff could create a service record, for example, without the cover page indicating the meeting date. It could cause the meeting identifier to be blank. 
• A script will run to correct any blank records with this update.

CALPADS Flash #214 change: 
PowerSchool Special Programs will no longer report Meeting Type 300 (Pending Initial Evaluation) when Profile, Special Education, Initial SE Eligibility Milestones area, Initial Evaluation Consent = Refused OR indicated as Student left district or Eligibility not completed.

Added a new profile named CALPADS504Programs. This field is populated from the district's scheduled task set up (Maintain CALPADS504Programs). This information is uploaded to PowerSchool SIS, S_CA_STU_CALPADSPrograms_C]Programs_C for reporting CALPADS EOY Sprint 2 via Data Integration.

Exiting students from Special Education, the district, or both are now removed from Staff Caseloads the day after the end date entered in the profile.

Removed IEP, Education Setting section, Other Agency Services: 
When the Department of Rehabilitation is selected Eligible, the text "Has student successfully completed a minimum of 120 hours of work-based learning experiences for grades 9 through 12 Yes No" is no longer needed and has been removed.

Modified the optional text boxes to display the entire section, even when the staff only enters data into the second text box instead of the first.

Regardless of service type, any service will generate a message "Cannot have two services with the same Service, Start Date, End Date, and Location (Environment) under Special Education and Related Services."

Modified the Signature Page to enable the "No Parent Response" checkbox to be editable in Draft and Review mode and not look for a signature date for this selection.

Modified the Safeguard area to display Parent/Guardian request for additional time and IEP not completed due to time constraints when Not Eligibility or Exiting is selected on the IEP cover page.

When the Participation in State/District Assessment, Question B = Yes,
the Assessment Type drop-down list will now only display Alternate Accommodation type tests when this checkbox is selected instead of all tests.

• Service Plan, Signature section now limits the checkbox selection to a single selection.
• The corresponding Initials field and Parent, DOS Representative, or Date fields are required for finalization. If No Response, Final Attempt, or both are selected, the parent initials or date is not required.
