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