Global view: Tool for gathering data Basis for distribution of funds to districts Several components: Student & Staff Tool for comparing effectiveness of district to other districts Tool for informing public about each district (District and individual report cards)

Not just a dirty four letter word

Education Management Information SystemEMIS

Entire district is responsible for the accuracy in EMIS reporting, inclusive of payroll personnel.

If you remember the Global view you then understand what an important role payroll plays in EMIS reporting.

Education Management Information SystemEMIS

Data collection method has recently changed

Data for EMIS reporting is now pulled DIRECTLY from USPS (state software)

Non-state software users have had to update the file they submit to the state

How districts are being funded has changed and increased the information that now needs to be collected and reported

Recent Changes in Staff EMIS

Can no longer ignore EMIS fields/elements to be reported

Paychecks can be created without all the EMIS information in, but eventually all Staff EMIS information must be reported FROM the payroll file……how does info get into the file?

Lack of EMIS knowledge/input of the payroll personnel is no longer a good option for the district – the payroll job is changing

Effects on Payroll Personnel

Communication is the key

DO not make assumptions◦ Replacement of personnel has same info as previous employee◦ ASK questions and seek clarification

Now that you are aware of the importance of the information – make a plan/procedure

Incorporate any viable tools available

Keep your superiors informed of missing data

Confusing Situations - Handout

Summer Separation• Only separation dates after the last day of school will

be counted as summer separation.• A separation date & separation reason must be

reported on ALL jobs for that staff member.• There can be NO attendance days in the current year.• Position status on POSSCN screen set to “U”.• Leave “Report to EMIS” flag set to “Y”.

NOTE: For yearend (June N reporting), set the EMIS flag on the BIOSCN & JOBSCN to “N”. Do NOT do this until October reporting is complete.

“C”(Current) vs “U” (Summer Separation)U - No longer employed by district in this position should only be reported if a staff member has not been employed by the district this year and will have no attendance information to be reported during yearend reporting. If a staff member starts the year and later leaves the district, leave the Position Status element value set to the value that represents the last status in the position and complete the Position Separation Reason and Position Separation Date for this staff member.

C - Current position in the district.

*NOTE: If staff starts the year & leaves, report separation date & reason AND report at Yearend. Do not change status & do not turn

off EMIS reportable flag.

Authorized Years vs Total Years Experience

Authorized = total years of authorized teaching experience as a regular or substitute in an elementary or secondary instruction for at least 120 days in a regular school year (ending June 30). Does not include teaching at a college, university, or related institution. Total = total number of years of ALL certificated educational service (authorized & non-authorized). Maximum is 40 years. Must be greater than or equal to the authorized years of experience.
