EZ Query SIS Student Search• (PBSIS-11556) With the release of ProgressBook Suite v20.5.0, when you had a district
in context and selected no schools or more than one school on the Select Schools tab, on the Filter Criteria tab Enrollment subtab, duplicate student status codes for each building displayed (e.g., 4 ACTIVE RES statuses when 4 building are selected). Now, in this circumstance, no duplicate student statuses display.
