For the last few years, Schools in the Kindergarten through grade 12 range have been required to register under the .US TLD (Top Level Domain). The convention for public schools is names of the form: school.district.K12.ME.US. Where school is some designation for the particular school and district is the name of the school district. Examples: DEERING.PORTLAND.K12.ME.US, TELSTAR.SAD44.K12.ME.US, RMG.U102.K12.ME.US. Naming conventions for hosts under these domains are up to these schools. Private schools have the choice of two different conventions. The first is much like the public schools, but uses PVT for the district name. Example: FOXCROFT.PVT.K12.ME.US, GOULD.PVT.K12.ME.US. Since private schools are considered businesses, they may also register under the locality. This leads to names of the form: school.locality.ME.US. Example: WESTWOOD.EAST-NOWHERE.ME.US.
