K12.ME.US

The K12.ME.US domain is for kindergarten through 12th grade schools and school districts in Maine. Registrations under this domain are available to any organization who can show they are in Maine and are either a school district or a school.

We do not currently charge fees for registration under this domain and do not have any current plans to charge fees.

Registrations under this domain must follow the conventions of RFC 1480. Examples follow:

School Districts

<district-name>.k12.me.us

The district name may be the Maine RSU, SAD, CSD or Union number, a locality name or the local name for the district. For example: rsu0.k12.me.us, sad0.k12.me.us, msad0.k12.me.us, u0.k12.me.us, east-nowhere.k12.me.us, puckerbrush-valley.k12.me.us.

Schools

<school-name>.<district-name>.k12.me.us
<school-name>.<locality-name>.k12.me.us
<school-name>.PVT.k12.me.us (private schools).

A public school will normally register under its school district name. In some cases a public school is not part of a district and in those cases may register under its locality name. Private schools use PVT instead of the district name. Some examples: hs.rsu0.k12.me.us, my-academy.pvt.k12.me.us, middle-school.nowhere.k12.me.us.
