Early Childhood EOP Early Certification For Summer EBT Snapshot

For the purpose of obtaining updated address information for Summer EBT, a snapshot will be taken of the EC EOP collection prior to its closing. Please ensure your EC EOP collection is certified by Friday, June 28 and remains certified until Friday, July 12. On July 12 you may decertify the collection for further updates as needed. 

REP Collection Due June 28

Please closely monitor the following in the REP submissions, due Friday, June 28 at 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Vacancies

Using field 12 “Funded Position Status” to report all vacant funded positions in an LEA is essential to accurately represent educator shortages within the state. Improved reporting will provide additional support for policy changes to address workforce challenges. 

Please work with the individual completing the end-of-year REP collection to ensure any instructional position that has not been permanently filled, but is still within the budget, is reported in field 12 with a status of “1.” If the position is vacant and filled by a temporary employee, report a status of “5” for the position.

Employment Status

Ensuring that field 25 “Employment Status” accurately reflects the reason an educator is leaving a position is essential to improving educator retention and mobility data in Michigan.

Points of Pride data, which are publicly displayed on the Parent Dashboard as "School Services and Offerings," must be submitted in EEM by June 30 to be included in the next update.
