MAEFAIRS is open for TFS and Budget Reporting

MAEFAIRS is now available to report information for the FY2021 Trustees Financial Summary (TFS) and FY2022 Budget. Please click on the following link for access: MAEFAIRS

Once you have logged in successfully, follow the steps below to access TFS/Budget:

  1. Click on the Data Entry tab
  2. Hover your curser down to the Trustee Financial Summary (TFS). Another menu box will slide open. Choose Step 1: Prefilled Data Verification (Districts Only).
  3. Highlight your district or click on the Select All Districts button, then click on the Print to PDF button.

Once you have verified your information on the Prefilled Data Report, you may move on to the other TFS and Budget steps. Special education cooperatives may begin TFS data entry with Step 3 and not complete the Budget data entry.

A completed, printed, and signed copy of the FY 2021 TFS is due to the county superintendent by August 15, 2021. FY 2022 Budget reports are due to the county superintendent within 3 days after the budget adoption meeting 20-9-131 MCA. School districts must then submit both reports electronically to the Office of Public Instruction no later than September 15, 2021.
