The following two Maine DOE Data Management Reports will open soon.

Maine School Approval:

Maine Schools is the process by which the Maine Department of Education (DOE) collects the organization’s information about Maine school administrative units (SAUs) and schools for the upcoming school year. Maine School Approval provides Maine DOE with the attestation from SAUs for meeting all Maine statutory requirements. This report offers an opportunity to update the SAU and school contact information to ensure that Maine DOE has the most current information. Student enrollments cannot be uploaded/entered into Synergy until Maine Schools is complete.

• Open Date: 5/15,

Updates in Synergy and NEO Staff will not be available without the completion of this report as this report informs the setup of schools in these systems for the coming school year.
