Question 1:
Where can I find the school MEDMS code or SAU MEDMS code?

Answer 1:
All MEDMS school and SAU codes can be found at http://www.maine.gov/education/medms/codelist.htm

Question 2:
What is the Department's definition of 1:1?

Answer 2:
The Department's definition of 1:1 is that each individual student is assigned a laptop for his/her academic work. This is in contrast to cart or classroom sets where a student uses a different device in each classroom, and sometimes a different device in the same class on any given day.

Question 3:
We are anticipating hiring a new teacher, or have just hired a new teacher and do not have a MEDMS ID for that teacher at this time. How should we note this on the MLTI Staff Roster Spreadsheet?

Answer 3:
Enter "TBD". When the name and MEDMS ID for the teacher is known, please email that information to mlti.project@maine.gov.

Question 4:
How do I find our staff MEDMS ID?

Answer 4:
Each School District has a designated person(s) with access to MEDMS. Once they log in, they can run a report. Go to the "Application" pull down menu, select "data download", click Go. On the "Action" pull down menu select Staff, click Go. Select the school year & appropriate SAU if applicable and click submit. This will download a report including your Staff MEDMS ID's. MEDMS Staff ID is in column "AR" with a header of "State ID"

Question 5:
I have a teacher who is not eligible according to your guidelines, but I think they should get a laptop? Can they?

Answer 5:
Report all of your staff that are eligible as well as those you believe should receive a device, as the State will look at all final staff totals and may be able to adjust the guidelines to include more teachers than the guidelines currently state. In addition, schools may choose to purchase additional staff seats at the cost indicated on the form.
