This release covers what happens after you look a district up. • Enrollment progress card: how much of the seven-step registration is left and what's next. Print it as a PDF for the district office, or share it with family. • Separate checklists per child: ticking a box for one child no longer ticks it for the other. • Works offline: districts you've opened are saved on the device. When a request fails the app now says so, instead of claiming the federal data doesn't exist. • Findable from the Home Screen: Spotlight-search "IEP" or "504" and land on the explanation; long-press the icon for district lookup or this month's dates; new Lock Screen widget. • School-tour question list: 18 questions in five categories, each with why it's worth asking. • Add key dates to your calendar, with a reminder a week ahead. Write-only, so the app can never read your calendar. • The AI counselor remembers: the conversation survives leaving the tab, questions can carry your child's grade and your state, and answers worth keeping are saved. • Accessibility: larger touch targets and text that scales properly at accessibility sizes.
