The primary generalized need for the Maine Education Data Management System (MEDMS) in the Maine Department of Education (Department) and in School Administrative Units (SAU’s) is for a State level data management system that provides the Department and School Units with the capability to collect, analyze and report data to meet State and Federal requirements.  

The following objectives will be met by MEDMS:

1. Implement a data management system.
2. Establish a means of electronically reporting school, staff and student data from School Units to the Department of Education.
3. Establish a means for the Maine Department of Education to report required State and Federal data.
4. Reduce the number of reports that are submitted to the Department of Education from School Units.
5. Reduce the reporting workload for School Units and the Department of Education.
6. Provide centrally hosted student information system functionality for use by local School Units.

Infinite Campus, Inc. is working with the Department of Education in meeting the above mentioned outcomes.
