EMIS Reporting in FY15
Tammy Hrosch
EMIS Services Manager, MDECA
OAEP Fall Conference, October 24, 2014
In the Good Old Days…
• The majority of data was reported in two reporting periods,
October (K) and Yearend (N)
• In general, reporting periods did not overlap or reopen
• Closed used to mean closed
• There were times when there was no open reporting period
• We had an up-to-date EMIS manual
• We just got our head around the funding model
• We had a pretty good handle on what we were doing

EMIS Today…

•
•
•
•

Lots of reporting periods
Overlapping reporting periods
Supplemental reporting periods
Optional reporting periods
Reopened reporting periods

EMIS is in constant motion

•
•
•
•
Daily data submissions
Student Cross Reference
30 Day Rule

Misconceptions
• Student Cross Reference is the new “K”….NO!
• SCR data is relatively small and is used to populate the Student Cross Reference System
• Data submitted through the SCR is date stamped for the 30 Day Rule
• If I ignore this stuff it will go away…NO!
• Windows close quickly
• Corrective Action Plans are real!
• All reporting periods are changing in FY15…Not Quite.
• Graduate (G), March Follow-up (D), Financial (H)
and Five Year Forecast (P) are staying the same
for the most part

FY15 EMIS Changes
• Unlearning can be more difficult than learning
• Even some seasoned veteran EMIS Coordinators feel like newbies
6
It’s all about the approach…
•
•
•
•
•
Scared?
Worried?
Intimidated?
Frustrated?
Angry?
7
Stay in control of the situation…
•
•
•
•
•
Research
Ask Questions
Be proactive about data gathering and data entry
Know your data
Be organized and systematic

So many questions
• Do you know what reporting period we are in?
• Why SO many S’s?
• What data is reported when?
• What should I be working on?
• When is “soon”?
• What is my retirement date again?
9
What reporting period are we in?
• The new question is, “What reporting PERIODS are we in?”
• As of Thursday, October 23rd at noon these collections were open• Graduation (G) FY14
• Student Cross Reference (S)
• SOES Beginning of Year Student Collection (S)
• Five Year Forecast (P)
• E-Transcript Data Collection
10
Why so many S’s?
• “S” is for Student Data Elements. They are used in multiple EMIS Collections
some of which are open at the same time.
• Student Cross Reference (SCR)
• SOES Collections
• SOES Student Contact Collection
• Retention Collection
• Traditional District Collections
• Special Education Post Year End
• “Soon” also starts with “S”!!!
11
Supplemental Reporting Periods
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
BEWARE!
Read the Collection Release notes.
Ask questions!
Do NOT just blindly submit these collections
Supplemental Collections are usually optional
Used to collect corrected or additional data
Complete files must be reported not just corrected records
