With PowerSchool Special Education it’s so easy to manage caseloads—we’re talking a few clicks to create our caseload sheets and then all they have to do is type in how much special-ed time those students are getting, and everything else is calculated for them. Our educators love that. Our count process is so much less stressful for everybody now.
