Locations Profile | PowerSchool Special Programs

The Locations Profile refers to the structured record of physical sites where students receive services or instruction. These are typically schools, early childhood centers, therapeutic service sites, or off-campus placements.

A Locations Profile captures essential details about each site where educational or SpED services may be delivered. Each location is a formal, identifiable entity within the system that:

Is assigned to students.
Hosts service providers and teachers.
It is tracked for funding, reporting, and compliance.
