“MASFPS has been instrumental to my role in understanding the state and federal programs for our school district. This is my third year learning with MASFPS, and I am planning on returning next year. Every year, I learn something new and improve my district systems around state and federal programming. Thank you"!”

“The Directors’ Workshop Series has been so beneficial to my professional learning this year! There is always meaningful and relevant content, great presentations, and a wonderful group of people that will always help troubleshoot numbers, language, directions, etc. I would highly recommend this professional learning series to anyone who works with State or Federal Programs. ”
“The MASFPS New Directors Workshop Series has been incredibly helpful! The series provides an organized curriculum with general updates, how to use the MEGS website as well as in-depth focus on rotating topics such as English Learners and Parent and Family Engagement. It has been a huge part of my learning. Thank you! ”
