Announcements
-
October EPS reporting and Staff Certification are both due 10/30/24.
-
In validating our dropout reporting we discovered an issue with how the report was calculating districts without expected return grades. As such a large quantity of students were being reported at the Maine DOE level when they should not have been. Due to this issue we decertified all districts so that the fix could be implemented on 10/22/24. Please review your report and re-certify as soon as possible.
Current System Issues
Synergy
-
Synergy currently is validating against a students age as-of the SPED Start Date, therefore students using historical Start Dates will likely not be accepted when entered into SPED Records.
-
- If you encounter this error it can be resolved by using the current year enrollment start date instead of the historical start date.

NEO
- Restraint and Seclusion
- RAS is currently open for 2025 which means anyone entering data for 2024 is entering it into the wrong year. -Fix Pending 10/28/24
- We will be re-opening 2024 on 11/1/24 until 11/8/24 so that districts can input their RAS data into the correct year. A notice about this is also going out the SPED Directors via our ListServ emails.

- Student Reports
- Currently 24-25 Attendance is not loading, which is also effecting Truancy data loading since it relies on attendance. -Resolved 10/24/24
-
There is currently an issue with NEO processing the open date for attendance. As a result Truancy is not working either. Please continue to upload your attendance into Synergy. If need be Q1 data can be reviewed at the same time as Q2 reviews.
