Please Update EEM for the Current School Year
If there have been any changes in your district or school entities since the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, please update the EEM prior to December 1, 2016. This includes closing entities from the 2015-16 school year and adding new entities for the 2016-17 school year. Incorrect EEM information may cause problems in data submissions, impact funding and grant allocations, and interfere with shipping and receipt of testing materials.
Please refer to the Updating EEM for the Current School Year memo for further information.

New District Code for Detroit Community Schools

Due to the recent legislative changes regarding Detroit Community Schools (formerly Detroit Public Schools), the Resident LEA code reported in the Personal Demographics component for students who live within the geographic boundaries of the former 82010 will need to have their records updated to show the new 82015 district code. Records that are not updated will receive errors when submitted to the MSDS.
