[Powerschool] NSSRS & homebound students

[Brian Gibson]

I got this suggestion from a couple people and that is the way we are  
going to handle.  THANKS!!

Did anyone have a solution for Bev?  We are still needing that  
information also.   Please send that across this list when you get a  
chance.

Thanks,
