Remember the Administration & Compliance Service (ACS) The Administration & Compliance Service (ACS) is jointly sponsored by MSBA, MASA, MASBO, and Education Minnesota, so school districts can be confident that it is designed strictly to benefit them. The ACS is an experienced leader in its field, having served school districts since 1999. School districts seeking assistance in dealing with the new 403(b) regulations would be wise to consider the ACS and can obtain more detailed information by contacting either Paige McNeal (phone: 763-552-6053; email: paige@ebcsolutions.com) or Duane Maupin (phone: 763-229-3491; email: duane@ebcsolutions.com).

Primary Election option approved by Gov. Pawlenty New legislation was signed into law May 12 that gives school boards an option on whether to hold a primary election.
If your board wants to be subject to the primary election system, the board will need to approve the Resolution Establishing a School District Primary Election System by June 1.
For the 2008 Primary Election System Resolution, click here
If your board does NOT want to be subject to the primary election system, do not pass the resolution. All candidates who file will be on the general election ballot.
If your board has already set filing dates for July 1-15 AND does not want to be subject to the primary election system, the board must revoke the filing date resolution before the July 1 filing period begins.
