Hi, Schilling - NS records need to be updated in both the parent and authoritative zones. The edu. parent is operated by Educause (and Verisign). The cps.edu hostmaster can request the nameserver addition here: https://net.educause.edu/
It is best practice for both listings of nameservers to match. In addition to adding ns2.cps.k12.il.us. you'll likely wish to add ns2.illinois.net. best, - - Mitchell Merit Network, Inc.
