Provincial Reporting 20.11.2.0 Release Notes
Important Notice for Provincial Reporting 20.11.2.0
As communicated in the November Focus Group meeting and in the PowerSchool Community article, the PowerSchool Compliance team continues to test the security and technology modifications made available in the recent PowerSchool SIS patches, and PowerSchool SIS 20.11.0.0. Testing has determined that events are taking up to two minutes to process under these versions, and when using previous versions of PowerSchool SIS users are unable to create diploma exam registrations. As a result, AB clients are advised to only install these releases in a Test environment. This restriction applies to all supported versions of PowerSchool SIS.
Similarly, AB clients are advised to avoid installing PowerSchool SIS 20.11.0.0. or any of the patches to previous versions (PowerSchool SIS 19.4.5.3, PowerSchool SIS 19.11.2.4, PowerSchool SIS 20.4.5.2) in their production environments until the Provincial Reporting 20.11.2.0 is approved for production environments.
