Week of May 18–24, 2026

Per-Section Attendance Analysis The AI Analyst can now break down attendance data by individual class section, not just at the school or district level. Staff can ask questions like "Which 3rd-period classes have the highest absence rates?" to pinpoint attendance issues tied to specific sections or times of day.

Term-Scoped Behavior Data Behavior queries in the AI Analyst now respect the academic term you're asking about. The Analyst will also clarify when there's a mismatch between the term type and available data—so you'll get more accurate answers and the system won't silently mix data across terms.

Smarter Suggested Questions The AI Analyst now surfaces a richer, categorized set of suggested questions spanning attendance, academics, behavior, and more. New users and busy administrators get instant inspiration for high-value queries without needing to know exactly how to ask.

MSSA & iMSSA Benchmark Roster The Benchmarks page now supports Maryland School Survey of Academics (MSSA) and interim MSSA (iMSSA) data, including composite and strand-level tier views. Maryland districts can now see benchmark scores, tiers, and student rosters directly inside Edia—no more toggling to a separate system.

aimswebPlus Score Integration aimswebPlus benchmark scores are now imported and displayed in the Benchmarks view alongside other assessment vendors. Districts using aimswebPlus for progress monitoring can view all their benchmark data in one place.

Longer Custom Widget Prompts The character limit for custom dashboard widget prompts has been increased, allowing for more detailed and nuanced questions when creating custom AI-powered widgets.

Solution Tree Behavior Templates Three new built-in intervention templates aligned to the Solution Tree MTSS framework are now available:

Intervention teams can launch research-based, Solution Tree-aligned behavior plans in a few clicks—complete with suggested goals, structured steps, and progress-monitoring guidance—instead of building from scratch.

Personal Finance Standards (NSPFE) Edia now supports the National Standards for Personal Finance Education, covering domains like Earning Income, Saving, Spending, Investing, Managing Credit, and Managing Risk across grades 4, 8, and 12. Schools teaching personal finance can assign standards-aligned practice, run diagnostics, and track student mastery using a nationally recognized framework.

New Stem-and-Leaf Plot Answer Type Students can now create and interact with stem-and-leaf plots directly—adding and removing rows and entering leaf values as chip tokens. Data representation problems are now more interactive and true-to-format, giving students authentic practice constructing plots rather than just reading them.

K–2 Math Content Refresh Significant updates across K–2 problem sets, including counting, place value, addition/subtraction fluency, comparing numbers, intro to geometry, measurement and data representations, and financial literacy.

Improved AI Understanding of Number Lines The AI tutor can now interpret number line visuals when helping students. When students work on number line problems, the AI can provide more accurate hints and feedback because it understands the visual representation, not just the text.

Attendance Bot Respects "No Doctor's Note" Setting The attendance bot will no longer ask families for a doctor's note when the school has disabled that requirement. The bot's behavior now matches each school's actual attendance policy, so families won't receive confusing or incorrect requests.

Attendance Sync Reliability Improvements Multiple fixes prevent district attendance syncs from getting stuck during data imports, keeping attendance data current without manual intervention—even during large or complex sync operations.

In-App Support Chat A new Intercom-powered support chat widget is now available directly inside Edia for teachers and administrators. When you need help, you can reach the Edia support team without leaving the app.
