Maine Schools Webinar
April 30th @ 10am
Maine Schools is the process by which Maine DoE collects the organization information about Maine LEA's and Schools for the upcoming school year. Maine School Approval provides MDOE the attestation from districts that all Maine statutory requirements are being met by each LEA. This report offers an opportunity to update the LEA & school contact information to ensure that MDOE has the most current information. Student enrollments cannot be uploaded/entered into Synergy until Maine Schools is complete. This webinar will review the requirements for the Maine Schools process.
