    SUBJECT:
    2008 DOE Information Database Workshop
     
    To promote the goal of providing Quality Efficient Services in fulfillment of its mission, the Florida
    Department of Education will conduct its annual database workshop June 17 – 19, 2008, at the Florida
    Hotel & Conference Center, 1500 Sand Lake Road, Orlando. 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 on-line at
    . This will allow us to
    provide nametags and have a head count of attendees.
     
    Additional hotel and meeting information are also available online. If you have any questions or need
    further assistance, please contact Arlene Roberts at arlene.roberts@fldoe.org, or Shel DuBose,
    sheryl.dubose@fldoe.org, or call (850) 245-0400 or SC 205-0400. A tentative agenda will post in the
    next couple of weeks. Remember that you need to view the tentative agenda periodically for updates and
    changes. The
    final agenda
    will post on
    June 6, 2008
    .
     
    We look forward to a good turnout this year. Last year, more than 750 district-level and school-level
    representatives participated. With your participation, this will be another productive and successful
    workshop.
