|
9. NEW BUSINESS
|
|
9.1. Consideration to Designate Richard Hanson as the Identified Official with Authority for the Le Sueur-Henderson School District.
Presenter:
Rich Hanson
Description:
The Minnesota Department of Education has instituted a new system for their External User Access Re-certification System. The External User Access System allows approved school district personnel to access MDE data and complete required reports. An example is the MARSS system that stores all student information we report to the State. Our District MARSS Coordinator inputs the information as students and exit the district and must have authorization to have access. This updated system should streamline granting access to the appropriate staff members. A new requirement is the School Board must grant authorization to the Superintendent. This will normally be done annually at the first July meeting, but since the new system is being implemented now, authorization must be granted now. Approval is recommended.
