2026 DOE Data Team Summer Training

The Maine Department of Education Data Team is hosting a 2026 Summer Training at 6 locations across the state. This training will be an opportunity for School Administrative Units (SAUs) to learn about the new Maine DOE student data collection system. This year's training will focus on the new Connect system, and will include navigation as well as reporting requirements. Participants are asked to come prepared with data to input into Connect, including developed upload formats or schools interoperability framework (SIF) configured with local student information system (SIS). Resources for configuring SIF and developing files are available on the MEDMS Support - Student Data Entry & Report Webpage. Due to 2026-2027 changes mainly impacting student data collections, this year's Summer Training will mainly focus on student data and student data collection processes.
