Release Notes

 ESI Release Notes - Fireworks (v) 4.9) - Release Date: August 1117, 2021 - Technology Services Knowledge Center - Technology Services Knowledge Center (atlassian.net)  

Advanced Student Search

Previously, when a student’s last name included an apostrophe and the apostrophe was included in the search criteria of the last name field, the results would not include the student because the system did not recognize the special character. This bug has been fixed as a part of the Fireworks release. Now, when searching for a student whose last name includes an apostrophe, the apostrophe can be used in the search criteria of the last name field to locate the student.

Transportation

Teachers complete the transportation form in Phoenix for a student when the IEP team determines transportation is required as a related service or when there is a change in transportation.  The regional secretary’s email address is entered on the form to route the notification. Regional secretaries will receive notification via email once the transportation form is completed and locked in an IEP, IEP Amendment or Transportation Change Event in Phoenix.  In ESI the transportation tab is completed by a regional secretary when notification has been received that an IEP,  IEP Amendment or Transportation Change Event has been locked in Phoenix.  Because there may be several days between the IEP team decision or transportation change and locking the event, it is very important the IEP case manager contacts the regional secretary as soon as possible and not wait until the event has been locked. Click here for the ESI/Transportation support documentation.
