A teacher must navigate a cumbersome, multi-step paper-based process to finalize failing seniors, with strict deadlines and redundant parent calls, or the students graduate automatically.

PowerSchool can record final grades but the school requires separate paper forms and manual delivery to guidance counselors, creating an inconsistent workflow that bypasses existing digital tools.
