Deadlines, resources for end-of-school-year data validation
5/20/2025
School staff encouraged to plan ahead for timely records submission
Several EMIS collections, including student records and most Ohio’s State Tests records, will close on July 16. As the school year wraps up and staff availability decreases, the Department urges school staff to submit records promptly. Timely submission is essential for districts and schools to validate their data, as these records directly impact Ohio School Report Cards.
The following EMIS reports are valuable resources found in the data collector to validate data reported for report cards in EMIS:
- Where Kids Count (WKCD-001): Verifies which students will be included in accountability calculations for the Local Report Card based on Majority of Attendance (MOA) IRN reporting.
- Derive Reading Diagnostic Result Report (LTRC-001): Tracks student-level information regarding reading diagnostic assessments for grades K-3, ensuring students are properly assessed and monitoring their reading diagnostic status. These records directly impact the Improving K-3 Literacy measure on the upcoming Report Card as well as next school year’s measure.
More information regarding accessing EMIS support can be found on the EMIS Communications and Information webpage.
