Districts may create multiple templates covering specific requirements. For example, different Templates by Subject (ELA, Math, Science, etc.), Grade levels or Special Education needs can be customized and applied to those specific students. Multiple Accommodation Profiles may be enabled, by Subject, for each student and will carry over from year to year.

TestHound is a web-based application which some districts use to set up and store accommodations for their students. Districts in Texas that use TestHound can enable imports of student accommodations from TestHound into SchoolCity accommodation profiles. The accommodation profile settings can be changed in the TestHound system once the data import feed is in place and will be updated in SchoolCity on a nightly basis.

Students will have their TestHound accommodations loaded into the respective SchoolCity accommodations profile (see mapping below).
