For some reason I just can't quite bring myself to welcome a state in the blog as soon as they sign on with us. I know there's just too much difficult work ahead of us to feel chipper. But after a couple months, once things are more or less going and things have calmed down a bit, my confidence buoys back up. We signed with Kansas back in August and it has been all-hands-on-deck ever since, especially with Arizona still settling in. But we've got them putting COEs in at this point, we've got their legacy data loaded, and we're working on getting their federal reporting and MSIX connectivity squared a way. There's still a lot of work left to do, but it's getting more calm.

Doug Boline and all the folks in Kansas have been a joy to work with and we look forward to serving the Kansas MEP for many years yet to come.

Again, as always, thanks to all the states who have given us a bit of extra slack and understanding this year. It has been the busiest year in MS/EdD's history.

Happy Halloween!
