Updating your school's Ed-Fi settings in jmc Office is crucial for establishing seamless communication with the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE). By configuring the Ed-Fi settings, entering your school's "Client Key" and "Client Secret," and enabling Ed-Fi interchanges, you can ensure a reliable and secure data exchange between your school's jmc site and the MDE. The updated settings allow for efficient sharing of data and compliance with state reporting requirements.
