"SEARCH THE DIRECTORY"

- A-Z Topic List - Directory Search

The purpose of the Directory Search is to provide users access to customized directory information. Some of the features of the Directory Search are: Search for ESU's, Districts or Schools. Allow a search for specific types, kinds of schools or classes of districts. Search for staff assigned to specific positions, subject areas, Schools, Districts, and ESU's. Allow the user to create data files or reports. There are two search areas in this system: 1) Quick Lists ? provides you with a "most" requested list of districts and school information. 2) Custom Search ? allows you to generate a more specific, narrower list of information for districts, schools and staff.

For questions or suggestions regarding this system, contact Kathy Heskett, NDE Data Center. e-mail: kathy.heskett@, phone: (402) 471-4738.
