The Florida Department of Education will conduct its annual database workshop on June 17, 18, and 19, 2008 at The Florida Hotel & Convention Center. This year, we will cover updates in procedures and requirements related to the DOE Information Database system.

In addition, the workshop will provide an overview of the state’s current student, staff, and finance database requirements for both technical and program staff in your district. This year we will be working in partnership with the Office of Independent Education and Parental Choice to offer training to district and charter school staff. Issues specific to charter schools will be addressed in additional breakout sessions which will be available to all interested participants.

All registrations must be completed below.

Please register only once; enter your name as you want it to be printed on your nametag. Check the spelling AND punctuation of your name AND your e-mail address! If your district requires confirmation, please print the screen showing your registration confirmation which will appear immediately after you submit your registration. We will not be able to duplicate this screen. You will also receive a confirmation e-mail once you have registered. Contact Becky Spencer, becky.spencer@fldoe.org, or Shel DuBose, sheryl.dubose@fldoe.org, regarding questions or changes to your registration. If you are unable to attend, please send an e-mail to Becky cancelling your registration. If someone else is going in place of you, they need to do the on-line registration. If the on-line registration is already closed, please send your information via e-mail to Becky.

We look forward to a good turnout this year. Last year, more than 700 district-level and school-level representatives participated. With your participation, this will be another productive and successful workshop.
