What is the redesign?
Multi-year project to completely
redesign EMIS for Ohio schools
 Modified vertical reporting structure

Changes in how data gets from
NWOCA to ODE
 Current: Flat files submitted to ODE
 Future: XML-based structure built
upon SIF

What is SIF?
More information at
http://www.sifinfo.org/
 SIF = Schools Interoperability
Framework
 SIF enables diverse applications to
interact and share data related to
entities in the pK-12 instructional and
administrative environment.

Software Application (i.e. eSIS):
 Software program implemented within a school or district
SIF Data Object:
 Sets of information shared by software applications using
the rules of the SIF Specification
SIF Agent:
 A software program (written by a vendor) that serves as the
intermediary between the software application and the SIF
Zone
ZIS (Zone Integration Server):
 A software program that serves as the central
communications point in a SIF Zone

NWOCA is a pilot for the EMIS Redesign
 Pilot testing to begin December 2008
What does this mean next year?
 Districts will likely see very little direct
interaction with the SIF pilot.
 Aggregations and submissions will still be
processed in the same manner next year
 Districts WILL start to see changes in the
EMIS files and data structures.
What will be changing?
See FY09 EMIS Manual – Appendix Y
for more details
 Three new record types

Student Standing (FS)
 Student Attributes- Effective Date (FD)
 Student Attributes- No Date (FN)

Smaller Student Demographic (GI)
 No more Student Attendance (GK)

Present on FS and FD records
Provide continuous values for elements
where needed by ODE
New record when values change
Open versus Closed record
Report first day of school to end of
reporting period- cumulative for year
Example improvements: OE funding,
yearend attendance
Student Standing (FS)
Relationship of student to district
 Attending and Assigned Building
 How Received (Student Status)
 Sent Reason (A/H Indicator) x 2
 Received and Sent IRNs

14
Student Standing (FS)
Tuition Type
 Attendance Counts x 3
 Effective Dates
 Multiple SSIDs (rare)
 Percent of Time split
 Admission/Withdrawal date/reason

More Changes….
The addition of the FS, FD, and FN
records will be the biggest changes
(along with the adjustments to the
existing GI record).
 More information to come as it
becomes available.
