Helpful Tips
- If you have not done so already, we highly recommend signing up to receive the Ed-Fi Newsletter. You can do so by going to the MDE Site here and clicking on “Subscribe to the Ed-Fi Updates newsletter” found at the top.
- When working on your comparison report be sure to do a MARSS upload so you have current data to work with.
- If Region 1 uploads your files, please email marss@region1.k12.mn.us and let us know that the files on the FTP site are for your comparison report and no release will be needed.
- Please make sure you submit clean files before the deadline, or MDE will take previous uploads. There is no way for us to tell them one upload is for comparison and one upload is for the deadline.
- If you need assistance with how to run a comparison report or how to run your Ed-Fi data through MARSS WES, please reach out to ed-fi.mde@state.mn.us . Kari Johnson has been hosting one-on-ones with districts to go through these processes.
