SPSM-MS_21.3.1.0 Release Notes

Fixed an issue with the ESY Section. When revising an IEP finalized before the February release, the section action to enter the "Document the basis for the decision" will no longer appear.

Updated the PAG field within the ESY section to no longer be a required field.

Fixed an issue with the BIP section within Special Considerations to save without an error. Previously, if "Has a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) based on a Functional Behavioral Assessment been developed" had No selected, the section displayed a message requiring the "Date Developed" and "Implementation Date" fields to be filled.

Updated the MET Documentation Form. When selecting "Reevaluation," the "Language/Speech Dismissal" checkbox no longer requires the second checkbox to be selected. The three checkboxes will appear under the "Recommendation of Team for Reevaluations" section.
