The MN Department of Education (MDE) application called ECSE Outcomes collects progress on Children in Special Education.

The new report view of transactional data reported to the state will give users and state employees a chronological view of all early childhood program participation in Early Childhood Special Education and other public programs.

The successful responder will supply one Java web application developer to work directly with existing IT management and MN.IT Services staff onsite in Roseville, MN at 1500 W HWY 36 to implement the new web application as described above. The success of this engagement is dependent on frequent interaction with other member the IT project team and the business area to communicate requirements, update status, validate implementation, and organize system integration and deployment.
