Additional Setup for Charter Schools

Charter school organizations require additional setup so that the system can publish the district and school references correctly to the state.

1. Enable and configure the Sub-district feature in PowerSchool SIS State/Provincial Reporting.

2. Configure the Sub-district feature in the PowerSchool Data Exchange (DEX) framework.

This may or may not require separate keys/secrets for the districts that they support and depends on the state’s configuration.

Steps to Enable the Sub-district Feature

1. You need to notify your account executive that you will be enabling this feature for PowerSchool SIS State/Provincial Reporting.

2. You need to put in a support ticket to enable this feature in PowerSchool SIS State/Provincial Reporting.

Usually, this feature is enabled during PowerSchool SIS implementation.

Steps to Configure Sub-districts

1. Under District Management, District Setup, click on Sub-District Configuration.

2. Click on the New Sub-District button.
