Schools/School Info > Edit School

For AzEDS reporting of Tuitioned-Out students, it will be necessary to create a separate Tuitioned-Out school (or schools) to house your tuitioned-out students. Tuitioned-Out students can either be placed in separate schools within PowerSchool (one school for each separate entity), or can be placed in a single PowerSchool school (overriding the School EntityID at the student level). See Knowledgebase article 75918 located on PowerSource for more information on Tuitioned-Out schools and students.

Note: Typically Districts will use the Separate Schools model for their Head Start programs and the Single School model for their Private Care Facility students.

AOI Schools require specific setup steps for accurate AzEDS reporting. See the Arizona Online Instruction (AOI) Information Page located on PowerSource for more information regarding AOI School and Student setup requirements.

Note: At least one final grade is required for each class upon class completion, but more may be reported if desired. For instance, year-long high school courses may receive two final grades, an S1 and S2 grade.

Use the Sub-district Configuration only if your organization runs a single version of PowerSchool with multiple districts.  You can use this option to create CST_Subdistricts and CST_SchoolSubDistricts database tables to store sub-district data.

Each sub-district created should correspond to an LEA Reporting District (a single LEA entity). If using sub-district functionality, it is recommended that ALL schools be associated with a sub-district (except the graduated students school), even if there is only one school in the district (sub-district).
