Ensure students are assigned a geocode [Geocode Map method only]

On a system that employs the Geocode Map [>>] as its year-end transfer method, the administrator should ensure that every student is assigned a geocode. This enables PowerSchool SMS to transfer each student to the appropriate school. Note: On a system that employs Address Validation, PowerSchool SMS assigns geocodes automatically—the administrator cannot assign geocodes. Refer to the Address Validation Guide.
