Colorado Springs School District 11 helped with
a new custom configuration of Special Programs product now
available for districts across the state
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, today announced the
launch of a unique configuration of PowerSchool Special Programs
for the state of Colorado. Colorado Springs School District 11
(D11) in Colorado Springs, CO successfully utilized Special
Programs, part of the Student Information Cloud, to meet its
special programs requirements and to benefit one of its key student
populations. D11 helped build the new Colorado solution with
PowerSchool to ensure it met the district’s special education
services needs. This PowerSchool solution enables D11, and
potentially dozens of other Colorado school districts, to identify,
create, track, monitor, and provide special education students and
staff with the resources they need to succeed.
“Our goal of helping each student reach their potential would
not be possible without the functionality provided by our
PowerSchool platform, and our PowerSchool ecosystem streamlines
much of the work, eases navigation for students and staff, and
facilitates much of the heavy lifting in integrating PowerSchool’s
apps,” said Tom Hunt, Director, Digital Solutions, Colorado Springs
School District 11. “We’re excited to partner with PowerSchool on
our Special Programs implementation, which is unique to District
11, and proud that PowerSchool is scaling it up for use by other
Colorado districts, thus enhancing the work done by staff and
teachers in ways that could not have previously been imagined.”
Special Programs provides comprehensive state-compliant special
education forms with built-in business rules, workflows, and
reports. In addition to the robust special education functionality
Special Programs provides D11, the district has gone beyond the
traditional Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and 504 plans by
creating custom, effective supports for its Gifted and English
Learner students. This allows for process enhancements, improved
functionality, and staff and teacher time savings.
Special Programs can also streamline work for parents and staff
and help address equity concerns with comprehensive digital
signature capabilities, multiple language translation, and
automated delivery of supports to parent and student portals,
including the ability for gifted students to edit their own
advanced learning plans. These key student supports are all in one
place with data that follows the student and supports that are
tailored to the district.
D11 uses other PowerSchool products that span the Student
Information, Student Success, Educator Recruitment, and
Personalized Learning Clouds, including PowerSchool Student
Information System (SIS), PowerSchool Attendance Intervention,
PowerSchool Ecollect Forms, PowerSchool Enrollment, PowerSchool
Document Management, PowerSchool SmartFind Express, PowerSchool
Schoology Learning, PowerSchool Performance Matters, PowerSchool
Naviance CCLR, PowerSchool Student Analytics, PowerSchool Perform,
PowerSchool Professional Learning, PowerSchool Behavior Support,
and PowerSchool Connected Intelligence K-12.
Colorado Springs School District 11 (D11) serves over 22,000
students in Colorado Springs, CO, and recently celebrated its 150th
anniversary. D11 has a combined 58 schools and alternative
educational opportunities, including 30 elementary schools, nine
elementary schools, four high schools, six charter schools, an
online academy, and eight Opportunity Academies.
