Breaking Changes

New Features

Bug Fixes

Plans Page

• Fixed an issue where a user is unable to modify the Bump/Extend increment value in the Lesson Actions because the bump/extend is being triggered prematurely. (SE-1704)

Lesson Banks Page

• Fixed an issue where importing or adding a lesson caused the view to auto‑scroll even when the lesson did not meet the active search or standards filters. (SE-1848)

Students Page

• Fixed an issue that occurred when a District Administrator (whose primary school differed from the student’s school) opened a student record that had tags created in another school. The tags appeared gray and the editor threw an error. (SE-1125)

Improvements

• A plus button is now displayed in the toolbar even if no lesson bank is selected in the Lesson Banks page. Clicking on the button opens a menu that allow users to add a bank. (Success, SE-1762)
• Teachers are now able to filter lesson banks using standards. And also, the search bar text is now matched against lesson standard id, lesson standard description, unit title, unit standard id, and unit standard description. (Uservoice, SE-1734)
• Teachers can now apply any lesson status to all lessons scheduled for a given day. (Uservoice, SE-1777)
• Users can now filter attachments for View Links. (Uservoice, SE-1778)
• We have successfully completed the migration of our primary database from Amazon RDS to Amazon Aurora Serverless. This change provides automatic, on‑demand scaling that instantly matches capacity to workload spikes, eliminating manual instance resizing and reducing over‑provisioning costs. Aurora Serverless also brings higher availability with built‑in fault tolerance and faster failover, while its pay‑as‑you‑go pricing means we are billed only for the compute and storage we actually use. As a result, the application now enjoys lower operational overhead, improved performance during peak traffic, and a more cost‑effective, resilient data layer. (SE-543, SE-1860, SE-1873 )
• The lesson search page now supports advanced filtering options. Users can narrow results by subject, year, deleted lessons, and date range. (Uservoice, SE-1692)

Other Changes

• Fixed an issue where an incorrect price is displayed on the Subscription Renewal page upon clicking on the link in the Renewal Reminder email. (SE-1710)
• Fixed an isolated issue where a teacher could not login because of improper validation related to classes. (SE-1707)
• Fixed several problems that surfaced after completing the migration to Aurora Serverless, ensuring stable connections, correct data integrity, and seamless operation across all environments. (SE-1875, SE-1878, SE-1886, SE-1934, SE-1892)
