Here are the latest changes, updates, and new features for Blackbaud’s K–12 education management portfolio for June 20, 2023.

Learning resources

Annual procedures

As the end of the academic year nears, admins should prepare to complete their annual procedures. To get started, view the online help. Platform managers can also access this help topic from the Tasks section of their Home page in Core.

Webinar: MFA for BBID

To learn more about multi-factor authentication for Blackbaud ID, join an upcoming webinar. Recordings will be available on demand after each webinar event. Platform managers can also access the registration page for these webinars from their Core homepage.

Academics

Text formatting in assessments

When creating assessments, teachers now have superscript, subscript, underline, and strikethrough options to format text in the introduction, questions, and answers.

All students to resume assessments independently

Enabling Allow students to resume independently on an assessment now allows students to resume the assessment regardless of how their connection was interrupted. Prior to this change, students could only resume an assessment if they selected Close to exit.

Blackbaud Financial Aid Management

Delete session years

To assist schools in complying with US privacy laws, Advanced School Users can now delete session years in accordance with their school's data retention and deletion policies. The two most recent years are not eligible for deletion. Deleting a session year permanently and irreversibly removes all family application data and documents for the year.
  1. From Settings, select Manage School Years.
  2. Under School Years Eligible for Deletion, select the context menu next to the session > Delete.
  3. A message states that your request has been received and it may take up to 24 hours for all data to be deleted.
