Action required: Complete the intervention manually to avoid auto-closure. |
MTSS Interventions | Delete interventions with related data | Global admins can now delete interventions even if those interventions have related data. To prevent accidental deletions, users must type "delete" in the confirmation dialog before proceeding. |
MTSS Interventions | Enhanced district navigation for global admins | A new district dropdown in MTSS Interventions allows global admins to easily switch between districts. Selecting a district refreshes the page with data specific to that district. The new feature improves efficiency and navigation across multiple districts. |
MTSS Interventions | Enhanced pagination for student and intervention plan listings | We’ve enhanced the pagination of the Student Overview, Attendance, Observation, Goals, and Intervention Plan to display 15, 30, or 50 results per page. The default is set to 15. The enhancement allows for consistent navigation across tabs with synced page selection and quick access via manual input or pagination arrows. |
MTSS Interventions | Improved notes navigation | We‘ve added pagination to the Notes section to make it easier to switch between pages and adjust the number of notes per page (10, 20, or 30). Pagination is hidden if only one page exists or if filtered results are fewer than the selected page size. |

MTSS Interventions | Inactive students can no longer be added to interventions | Inactive students are now restricted from being added through any feature to MTSS Interventions, ensuring consistency in student management. |
MTSS Interventions, Student Support Resources | New state-level option | State admins in multi-district tenants now have a State-Level option to make student support resources available across all districts. When this option is selected, the resource is visible across all districts but can't be edited or deleted by other users and the Public/Private settings are disabled. If a resource is used in an intervention, the State-level checkbox cannot be updated. |
MTSS Interventions | New "Student Name or ID" filter | We’ve merged the Student Name and Student ID filters into a single “Student Name or ID” filter, where users can search using either a name or an ID in the same filter. Note: This update does not apply to the District Manager role. |

MTSS Interventions
| Student avatars in Intervention Listing | We’ve enhanced the intervention listing page by displaying student avatars in Student column, making it easier to identify students in an intervention. For larger groups, a "+n" indicator will summarize the count, with a dropdown to review all students. If no students are linked, the column displays "0." To improve the loading experience, skeleton loaders are now displayed while the student data is fetched. |
MTSS Interventions | Today's interventions moved to All Interventions list | Removed the “Today's Interventions” section and moved those interventions to the All Interventions list. Users can use the new “Today’s” filter to review today’s interventions. |
MTSS Interventions | Updated options to delete an intervention | Removed the Delete Intervention option from the intervention details page. Now, the user can only delete an intervention from the Manage Intervention page. |
MTSS Interventions

---|---|---|
Academics Analytics | Updated Standards logic to handle lower- and uppercase scale codes | Updated the extract logic to convert SCALE_CODES to uppercase when received as a lowercase character. This change requires all SCALE_CODES to have a single character value and no longer support a lowercase “p” and an uppercase “P” as different SCALE_CODES. Customers should confirm all SCALE_CODES are unique characters from the upper-case alphabet or a different, unique non-case character. |
Classroom | Teachers with courses at multiple schools | When teachers were removed from sections, access to those sections was not always removed. This has been corrected. |
Enrollment Analytics | Fixed incorrect school filter | The connector logic for ETLs has been updated to better handle when a School_ID does not match the min_school_year field and the Reporting Indicator setup in the district configuration, which resulted in two sets of school year data not matching. This was corrected to correctly display the proper schools and school years' data. |
