How Special Programs Improves Reporting Compliance at Oxford Public Schools 

Kadion Phillips of Massachusetts’ Oxford Public Schools discusses how PowerSchool Special Programs has helped support students with special needs by making it easier for staff to keep up with state reporting compliance. The product simplifies their documentation and reporting requirements when working with both district administration and state agencies. Special Programs also helps close the loop between staff, parents, and students when supporting 504s and IEPs.  

In the video, Kadion also talks about how integration between PowerSchool Special Programs and PowerSchool SIS gives the district reliable, accurate data they can count on, which has helped drive staff adoption. Before, staff within multiple departments were entering the same information about students. “Sometimes the data wasn’t correct, especially around reporting time,” he says. “We’d be going back and forth between departments to see which data was more correct at the time. The integration between PowerSchool SIS and Special Programs has definitely helped us streamline the process.”
