SPSM-WA_26.11.0.0 Release Notes

SPEDSM-150185

Smart Referral Validation

To prevent inaccurate Childfind records, the system now automatically disables the "Initial" referral type and "Initial Evaluation" consent options for students who are already identified with an active IEP (IS_IEP = TRUE). This ensures that reevaluations are correctly categorized and prevents historical data from being accidentally overwritten.

SPEDSM-150186

Smart Validation for Evaluation Types

To prevent state compliance reporting errors, we've added a safeguard to the Evaluation Report (EVALRPT) that automatically disables the "Initial Evaluation" option for students who already have an active IEP, ensuring reevaluations are correctly identified in the system of record.

SPEDSM-150523

Updated Evaluation Conclusions & Documentation

To ensure compliance with OSPI Rev. 8/2026, we've updated the Evaluation Report (EVALRPT) and Eligibility Determination (Form 5a) with a new, comprehensive prompt for the "Conclusions" section that guides teams to summarize findings, strengths, and educational implications more effectively.

SPEDSM-150525

Updated OSPI 2026 Group Signatures & PDF Layouts

To ensure full compliance with the OSPI Rev. 8/2026 standards, we've updated the Evaluation Report (EVALRPT) and Eligibility Determination (Form 5a) with the new certification statement and a refined PDF layout engine for perfect 6-page exports, all while maintaining full backward compatibility for your historical records.

SPEDSM-150987

Automated Signature Date Tracking

To ensure compliance and accurate record-keeping, we updated the Evaluation Report (EVALRPT) so that the teacher's signature date is now automatically captured and displayed on the IDAR section when a digital signature is completed, even if the document is in "Review" status.

SPEDSM-149251

Accurate BIP Alert Visibility

To ensure Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP) alerts display correctly for eligible students, we updated the calculation logic to reference the active Washington-specific exit date field instead of an unpopulated core field.

SPEDSM-150387

Improved Eligibility Recommendations Display

To ensure clarity in student evaluations, we fixed an issue where the "Not Recommended" status would appear blank when both "No Recommendation" and "Goal Area" were selected; it now correctly displays the "Not Recommended" value in both edit and view modes.
