Release Notes – Level Data

September 

Grow 

• TEA / IIA — Mapping Decisions Finalized, Full Workflow Validated: Remaining TEA IIA implementation decisions were resolved and the complete Grow-to-Texas-Exchange workflow was documented and validated end-to-end. Pilot district testing with the Texas Education Exchange is the remaining step before Grow appears on TEA’s published list of IIA-integrated vendors, targeted for the October onboarding wave. 

ROI 

• Summaries/Scorecard Student Link: Drill downs to the student level in Executive Summaries. Hyperlink student names to open up their Student Scorecards directly in the Summaries window. Enables deep analysis even within high-level summaries 

• Scorecard Trends: Chart any student’s performance on any assessment within Student Scorecard. Click an assessment name within a scorecard to generate a line chart showing the last 2 years of available data, plotted against proficiency benchmarks 

Integrations, Validation, and Reporting 

• RTR: Chronic Absenteeism Absence Exclusions: Allow users to filter out certain absence codes from the Chronic Absenteeism report, enabling analysis on certain types of attendance (e.g. exclude excused absences or filter on just suspensions) 

August 

Brolly 

• Brolly 504 Reports: Added several new 504-related reports, including: 

• • Supports Detail – Detailed support log entries group by student and support

Grow 

• TEA / Instructional Insights App (IIA) Integration — Development Complete — The full engineering work for Grow’s Ed-Fi integration with the Texas Education Exchange was completed in August. This enables onboarded LIFT-participating Texas districts to have Grow observation and coaching data automatically sync to the Exchange without manual export. 

ROI 

• Email Share Executive Summaries – Send email notifications to selected users to view any configuration of executive summary. Users receive a link via email that automatically opens the report with the sender’s parameters entered.

• Executive Summary Charting – Sparklines, bar distributions, and line charts added to executive summaries, providing a visual layer to data-heavy reports 

 

Integrations, Validation, and Reporting 

• Validation Summary Streamlined Runs – New flag that enables users to run the Validation Summary only on rule categories linked to state reporting, excluding categories like contacts that can take up to half an hour to run. Drastically improves the speed of Validation Summary rule runs 

July 

Brolly 

• Brolly 504 – Extends Brolly to Section 504 accommodation documentation and progress monitoring. Sync students’ 504 Accommodations/Modifications enabling users to track accommodation/modification delivery and 504 plan progress.

Never overwrites user-entered text. Off by default; requires Goal Creator. 

• Report Translations – Brolly IEP Progress Monitoring by Goal Report now available in Spanish 

Grow

• Meeting Types — Configurable Dropdown Field — A new “Configurable Dropdown” field type is now available in the Meeting Type builder, allowing districts to add custom single-select dropdown menus as meeting fields. 

• Meeting Type Builder — Required Fields for Participants — Meeting type fields can now be marked as required for participants, ensuring that key information is captured before a meeting record can be submitted. 

• Scoring & Calculations — Role-Based Permissions — Administrators can now control which roles have access to scoring configuration and evaluation scores, providing more granular control over who can view or modify evaluation data. 

• Action Item Bank — Usability Improvements — The Action Item Bank presets list received navigation and search improvements, making it easier for coaches and administrators to manage a large library of preset action items. 

 

ROI 

• Email Engagement Tracking Dashboard – Major new page within ROI giving District Admins full visibility into ROI emails sent and received across the platform. Click tracking, open metrics, and login stats give District admins a powerful tool to monitor engagement across their district. Geared towards resolving the frequent disconnect between ROI’s buyers and champions, and the day-to-day users of the platform 

• ACE Share/Export Tools – Export “All” section reports job generates a single combined PDF with all section reports, allowing District Admins to push valuable ACE insights to teachers without having to export 50 reports. 

Integrations, Validation, and Reporting

June 

Brolly 

• TierScore AI-Assisted Scoring (Texas only) – Auto-suggests Tier of Intensity ratings from synced IEP data with cited evidence (cuts assessment time from ~45 to ~5 minutes); “Re-Analyze with Al” reads narrative IEP text for harder-to-capture factors (e.g., staffing, equipment) and cites supporting text. Never overwrites existing manual ratings. 

• AI-Insights for Goal Progress – Generates a plain-language progress summary, trend/pace read (Improving/Variable/Declining, On Track/At Risk), key patterns from assessment data and teacher notes, and categorized recommendations. One-click copy for reports, emails, and notes. Off by default; System Admin enables per district. 

Grow 

• AI-Assisted Observation Insights — Coaches can now open an AI Insights modal directly from any observation form indicator. The modal surfaces a performance overview for that specific indicator. Districts can enable or disable the feature at the district level under System Settings > AI Settings. 

• Scheduled Exports — Admins and coaches can now schedule recurring exports on report pages, choosing the frequency, format, and recipients once and letting Grow handle the rest. All schedules are managed from a central “My Scheduled Exports” view, with scheduled export support extended to all remaining report pages. District admins can enable or disable the feature via System Settings. 

• Okta SSO: Grow now supports Okta as a SAML identity provider, joining existing SSO options (Azure, ADFS, ClassLink). Districts using Okta can authenticate directly from their SSO portal without a separate Grow login. 

• Training Modules: Districts can now build and assign structured training content directly in Grow as part of PLU Events. Modules support video embeds, file uploads, external links, rich text, and section headers. Completion requirements are configurable (view-only, acknowledgment, or quiz), with sequential completion controls, role-based visibility, and full progress tracking from the PLU Event registrant roster. When a content section is edited after participants have started, admins can notify affected participants and optionally reset their progress on that section. 

• Evaluation Scoring & Calculations (Sumter): A new Scoring & Calculations section is available under Config for districts using Grow’s evaluation features. Includes role-based permission controls to govern who can view or modify scoring configuration and evaluation scores, an evaluation scores widget on the teacher profile page, and the ability for admins to reorder the widget via drag-and-drop when profile layout customization is enabled. Off by default; enabled by Customer Success. 

• Completed Meetings Count Toward Coaching Cycles: Completed meetings now count as completed cycle items immediately upon completion, regardless of their scheduled date. Previously, meetings only counted once their scheduled date had passed. 

• Performance Dashboard — Reorder Multiple Dashboards: District administrators can now drag and reorder the sequence of Performance Dashboard configurations directly on the setup page. 

• Angular 19 Upgrade: Grow’s frontend framework was upgraded from Angular 17 to Angular 19. This is an internal technical improvement that reduces build times and lays the groundwork for future performance enhancements — no change to existing functionality. 

ROI 

• Email Notifications: Share AI Insights via email to other users, subscribe to monthly AI Insights ‘digests’ – providing a way for users who are not regularly logging in to stay connected to valuable ROI insights 

• Strategic Objective Metrics: Attached real-time metrics to objectives to track proficiency, usage, or growth, enabling users to track progress against objective goals at a glance. Metrics automatically update as new data is imported. 

Integrations, Validation, and Reporting 

• Integration Connector Portal: Centralized view of all system integrations and data pipelines  

• Credential Management: Secure acquisition of usernames, passwords, keys, and secrets; integrates with internal secret storage
