@jilladams FYSA we haven't gotten final sign-off to publish all these new rates pages yet, so I don't have a definite date for when the redirects need to happen. The earliest we are looking at is the later part of next week (10/3-10/7).

[jilladams]

Thanks Randi. @davidconlon FYI this will be an injection but we have front-end capacity, so shouldn't be a problem.

[jilladams]

@RLHecht any news on this one?

[RLHecht]

@jilladams we got stakeholder feedback late last week so we are still making content changes. I should have a better sense after a meeting this afternoon and will post more here. Thanks!

[jilladams]

Beth confirmed this won't be ready this week. Punting back to Stretch, and adding to Sprint 69.

[jilladams]

@RLHecht @bethpottsVADEPO just checking in - any updates here re: education rates redirect?

[RLHecht]

@jilladams We are still on hold with the rates pages so there's nothing for Public Websites to handle at the moment with redirects. We are still working with stakeholders on several pages so there wouldn't be anything for you this sprint. Thanks for your patience with this one!

[RLHecht]

@jilladams We are getting a bit closer to publishing these rates pages though there are still some outstanding approvals from stakeholders. We may be able to get these live in the next couple weeks, so I wanted to get this redirect ticket back on your radar.

[jilladams]

Noted, just let us know when you're ready.

[RLHecht]

@jilladams We have a staging review set for 11/29 and are looking to publish the rates pages next week if all goes OK. Could you add this ticket into your next sprint?

[jilladams]

Yep! Whenever you're ready for it, we'll pull it in.

[RLHecht]

@jilladams our education rates pages are now live so these redirects are ready to go!

[jilladams]

Verified in prod.
