Enhancements

Deleted Inactive Students with Balances

Added improvements to the system to more elegantly handle the merging of students with balances who have returned to the District after being removed from DataCenter (upon the 2nd End of Year process where a student remains inactive).

MySchoolBucks Balance Transfer

Parents have the ability to transfer money between students in MySchoolBucks. You can see balance changes by time and date in the following reports:
Student Account Statement
Online Payments

MySchoolBucks Support for designating funds for “Meals Only”

Districts now have the option in Newton MSB Setup to synchronize the spending and charge limits set in Newton with Meal Controls set in MySchoolBucks.
(info) Note: In MySchoolBucks, if the option to allow payments to be designated for Meals Only is selected, the Use Unallocated-Cash Only option should be disabled. If this setting is not disabled, payments will be placed in Newton's unallocated funds for a customer.

Misc School Counts Improvements

  • Misc School Counts Setup - Any Misc. School Count data that has been established and contains a non-zero value from a previous operating day may not be modified in the Misc School Count Maintenance screen with the exception of the Description.

  • Misc School Counts Posting - If a Misc School Count has been inactivated and non-zero counts exist, the description of the Misc School Counts shall in (inactive) in the posting screen. Additionally, the user is able to modify previously existing counts.

These changes are to maintain the integrity of the data and provide accurate reporting.

We have updated the Outdated Workstation Report to call out all machines that are recommended to be updated to .NET Framework 4.8.
(warning) Note: This upgrade will be necessary for any district that wants to use the latest upgrades.
