Download in Airtable
Depending on your district, this part might not be needed. But, in my district we have to upload all of our service logs. In Airtable, you can do that by downloading your data to a PDF and then uploading it into your IEP system. This is also a great idea to download and save on a flash drive. You never know when you might need to refer back to something you did a few years ago. And, as far as I know, Airtable doesn’t delete bases – I’d hate to find out the hard way!
