Address validation

Google Maps™, a visual mapping service, is available to the District Administrator for various tasks, depending on the year-end transfer method employed by the district:

For a district that employs the Projected School Map Year-End Transfer Method, the District Administrator can ensure student addresses are valid (one or more at a time) and create district and school boundaries. The administrator can also validate student addresses against the defined boundaries.

For a district that employs the Geocode Map Year-End Transfer Method, the District Administrator has the option of using automatic address validation, Google Maps address validation, or both.

For further information, see the PowerSchool SMS Address and Boundary Validation Guide (formerly the PDF document

Address Validation Guide) available from https://support.powerschool.com.
