Please note that the above link will allow school personnel to access only their completed 2006-07 incidence of prohibited behavior data.

Beginning with the 2007-08 school year, and on a regular basis throughout the year, schools are required to report incidence of prohibited behavior data directly to the MEDMS Safe & Drug-Free Schools Module.  MEDMS is managed by the Maine Department of Education.  You will use your MEDMS password to enter data into the MEDMS Safe & Drug Free Schools Module.

Here is a link to the MEDMS login page:

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SDFSCA DATA COLLECTION PROJECT: The Maine Safe and Drug-Free Schools Data Collection Project is a partnership between Maine's Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services Office of Substance Abuse (OSA), the Maine Department of Education (DOE), and Research Triangle Institute (RTI). Created to enhance the state's capacity to gather school and district data on alcohol, tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) and violence incidence and prevalence, as well as related prevention programs; the project was funded by a two-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education's (USED) Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) Program from 1998-2000. A one-year extension of the grant allowed RTI and Maine to prepare the system for management and operation by OSA and Maine's Bureau of Information Services (BIS). Beginning in July 2001, the system became fully managed by OSA and BIS, with technical assistance provided by RTI during 2001 and 2002.

Specifically, the data collection system is designed to (1) assist all local education agencies (LEAs) in providing data on youth violence, substance use, and related prevention activities; (2) improve the quality and completeness of data reported by schools and LEAs; (3) provide an integrated reporting system to meet federal reporting requirements for SDFSCA and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA); and (4) address OSA's federal, state, and local data reporting and evaluation needs. It is believed by program staff that with more accurate data collection and more thorough data utilization, schools and districts will be better able to assess and quantify their specific needs, and subsequently more effectively determine the impact of their prevention efforts. Through such efforts, it is hoped that the costs of drug abuse and violence in this state, both in terms of resources and human suffering, will be lessened.
