Public Districts and ESUs

If the district met M.O.E. Compliance, but not in all four methods, the district would need to submit potential exceptions and M.O.E. Adjustments to lower target levels for future years.  Located in the Legacy NDE Portal within the Data Collections tab, the collection is called “IDEA MOE for Compliance Standard”.
