Sumbits is back. MBA experts Sean Cawby, Eric Schaitel, and Ryan Cockrem sit down (this time with coffee-instead-of-whiskey energy) and catch up on what's been happening while the microphones were off, then get into what's new in PowerSchool since they last joined us. They talk AI (from skepticism to daily tool), the new UI and navigation, security and SSO, data dictionary changes, page permissions, development workflows - along with a few opinions on what’s genuinely helpful versus what’s just different. The beards might be a little more gray, but the commits are still green. Sumbits is brought to you by MBA.
