Printable references

The online guide is the current and authoritative version. Select Print this page for this Quick Start, or open the shared Accordion Agenda Quick Start when training agenda administrators. The print dialog can also save a PDF. We are considering prepared accessible PDFs for short references—not duplicate copies of every complete guide. Reviewer feedback about that approach is welcome.

District Administrator role requests

Only schoolboard.net Support can add, delete, or modify a District Administrator role assignment, including removing the role from an account. Submit every request in writing by email to schoolboard.net Support. There is no system limit, but schoolboard.net recommends only two or three District Administrators per district.
