Case Study: West Bloomfield School District achieves streamlined special education caseloads, faster compliance and reporting with PowerSchool Special Education

Special Education System Improves Student Outcomes in Detroit

PowerSchool partnered with West Bloomfield School District, a Detroit‑area district serving about 5,700 students, to address an inefficient special education workflow. The district’s old system left IEPs, progress monitoring, state B‑Sheet reporting, and communications disconnected, creating duplicate work, manual processes, and difficulty tracking caseloads and compliance.

Implementing PowerSchool Special Education delivered an intuitive, flexible platform with synced front‑ and back‑end data, easy caseload/B‑Sheet generation, reminders/alerts, smart‑fill forms, and diagnostic reporting. The district reports faster, less stressful count and paperwork processes, improved progress monitoring and communication, accurate state reporting, and significant time savings for staff.
