Speaking on behalf of a school that has had major problems with the 6.0.x line of releases I'm happy to say that after some testing (not a lot, but we are in emergency mode) all issues we've been having seem to be resolved in the 6.0.1.3 release that came out on October 10th

Reports by the Bundle

A few days ago PDS released its first ever bundle. The Custom Reports Bundle contains MANY of the reports you can find on PDS as well as new tabs for PowerSchool 6's tabbed reports page and some changes to the reports you already used. Several new reports were also added that can not yet be found anywhere else and some new dashboards are available that are still in experimental phases. We'd love to hear your feedback on this.

So normally the browser wars consist of IE vs. Firefox or IE vs. Safari. While I personally don't see any positive benefit in IE over any other browser, and find many negatives as I reprogram specifically for IE all the time, I get that people like IE and many people don't like change. Fine.

I know your using PowerSchool. Otherwise you are in the wrong place. I also know you use something else for fees. Help me decide.

PowerDataSolutions has added a new poll looking for what you think is missing from PowerSchool. The poll only gives you 5 options and no write in options so don't get too excited, but we would really like to know what you thought should be priorities. A link to the poll is below.
