Surveys
2026 Mentor Program Survey
General information
MPAAA is continuing this mentor program to allow staff new to pupil accounting, auditing, or data reporting the opportunity to ‘partner’ with an experienced colleague who can serve as a sounding board for questions and a guide through the intricacies of this profession!
We’ll be pairing folks based on three different criteria: location in the State, size of the district, and SIS software used. We’ll ask mentorees to assign ranks to each of these categories so they can be matched up on criteria that are most relevant in their eyes.
Process Plan
July 1 – email asking for volunteer Mentors AND mentorees
August 31 – Begin the process of matching mentors and mentees together.
September 4 - Notify Mentor/Mentee pairs so pairs can contact each other.
Program commitments:
Mentors. Those who agree to mentor are asked to:
- Get in touch with your mentee at least monthly
- Respond as quickly as practical to questions from your mentoree
- Be willing to say ‘I don’t know’ and suggest who they should contact when you are unsure of the answer to a question
NOTE: We were VERY short of mentors last year. PLEASE consider volunteering to help a fellow pupil accountant!
Mentees. Those wishing to be mentored are asked to:
- Understand that your mentor is working from the best of their knowledge, and to understand their answers are NOT the final authority
- Keep in regular contact with your mentor, even if things are going well!
- Let your mentor and MPAAA know when you are ready to end the mentor relationship.
