Resolved: New Schoolnet Items Missing Images
It was previously communicated that some of the new items added to Schoolnet this year were missing images. The affected items were removed from the system while we worked to correct the issue. All affected items have now been loaded back into the system with their images. To find any of the new items added this school year, search for a date added of 10/12/21. Please note: if teachers pulled any of the items with missing images into a test, they will need to remove these items and add them again.

NCEES System District Administrator Access Rights Changes
Attention: NCEES Leads with District Administrator system rights,
On Oct. 31, 2021, vendor PowerSchool will be setting both Assume Identity and Can Assign Access Rights to false for all staff assigned with System District Administrator Rights. This is the next step in creating the Central Office View Only Role (for Superintendents with NCEES DA rights). NCDPI is requesting each district to review and fill out the NCEES System District Administrator Access Rights request form for their NCEES System DA's access rights.
- For information about why this form is going out please view the article, NEW: NCEES Central Office View Only Role for Superintendent DA, in the NCEES Updates Weekly Bulletin, https://lnks.gd/2/ZW2Zpj.
- Please review the following information as this does affect ALL staff (not just Superintendents) that have the District Administrator system access in NCEES.
- Note: This form is to request updates to rights for staff in NCEES that already have been assigned NCEES system District Administrator Access and the district has approved they have additional rights for Assume Identity and/or Can Assign Access Rights to others.
- Please fill out 1 survey per district prior to Friday, Oct. 29th and NCDPI will give the requests to PS Support for enabling Assume Identity and/or ability to Assign Access Rights to the DA's your district requests to have those rights added back after the Feature Release 21.10.0.0 is implemented on 10/31/2021.
- The form will remain open after the update for districts to request DA assess rights as needed throughout the year.
- Specific to Charters - Charters do not have staff with Superintendent Roles. However, DPI does encourage charters to have designated a NCEES System District Administrator to manage the online tool for the district. Charters will need to fill out this form for the designated DA(s) that will need "Assume Identity" and/or "Can Assign Access Rights.
- If a Charter needs a NCEES District Administrator in your district, please submit that request through the ServiceNow Portal.
Click here for the NCEES District Administrator Guide. As these new settings are implemented NCDPI will update this guide and re-post to reflect the updates.
