Mainframe Modernization Project Update

Division of School Finance

In partnership with Minnesota Information Technology (MNIT) and an outside vendor, the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is currently in the process of converting all school finance mainframe system applications and databases to a new, more modern language and platforms. This project includes many of the applications used by the School Finance Division to calculate and distribute aids and levies, and process student, transportation and financial data collected from school districts, charter schools and other local educational agencies (LEA). As most of these 28 systems are interconnected, the goal of this project is to convert them all as a group and retire the old mainframe systems at the end of a transition period. The new system is scheduled to launch in February 2020. For more information on what this will mean for LEAs, please read the Mainframe Modernization Project Update document found on the School Finance main page.
