Calculation Settings for Next Year

Use this optional feature to create a copy of the calculation settings for the next school year during the current year. After completion, change the calculations as needed for the next school year without affecting calculations for the current school year. Note that if this process is used, subsequent changes to the current year calculations will not be migrated to the next year calculations as part of the end-of-year process.

The next school year must already be created at the District Office in PowerSchool in order to use this feature.

• If the current standards names and hierarchy are finalized, you can make a copy as the standards list for next year. Post copying, the copy will be separate from the current year's standards, and any changes made to one of the sets will not affect the other.

  • If you do not use the Calculation Settings for Next Year feature, the standards will be created by default for the next school year as part of the end-of-year process based on the names and hierarchy in place when the end-of-year process is engaged.

• If there are existing records for next year, the process will not run and the standards list will not be copied to next year.
