Organization
1. An “Emergency Health/Transportation Email” field has been added to the school setup page. There is also a preference on this same page, titled “send an email to the ‘Emergency Health/Transportation Email’ when the ‘Emergency Health/Transportation Information (2019)’ form is finalized.” When there is at least one email address listed and the checkbox for the preference is checked, the email address will receive an automatic email from SpEd Forms when a student’s Emergency Health/Transportation Information (2019) form has been finalized. This is meant to get transportation information to the correct transportation department.
