EMIS Manual

General Information

The Department provides the EMIS Manual as a uniform and consistent source of reporting instructions for EMIS data in accordance with Ohio law. Included in the Manual are data definitions, requirements, and reporting procedures to assist districts with the submission, review, validation, and correction of data.

Every traditional district, community school, joint vocational school district (JVSD), and STEM district assigned to a career-technical planning district (CTPD) is individually responsible for reporting to the Education Management Information System (EMIS) and appealing data for their own students, as described in the EMIS Guidelines.

For documentation that focuses more on how EMIS works, the range of data reported to EMIS, and the variety of district personnel who work with EMIS data, see EMIS 1.0 and the other documents on the EMIS Framework webpage.
