Per Executive Order 2020-65, strict compliance with Educator Effectiveness Evaluations was suspended for the 2019-20 school year. MDE has provided guidance in Memo #COVID-19-054 on instances in which an Educator Effectiveness Evaluation may be required or encouraged. As a result, there will be changes made to the REP system to accommodate the temporary impacts.
Reporting Field 20: Educator Effectiveness
- Business rules have been turned off.
- Null or blank values can be reported in both bulk file uploads and online submissions.
- Ratings that are required per MDE guidance will be allowed to be reported.
Certifying the EOY 2020 REP Collection
- REP certification will be available May 30.
- Assignment codes that typically require a Field 20: Educator Effectiveness label and have been reported with blanks will have a label "No Eval Emergency Order" systematically applied to the record when the district's REP submission is certified.
- Prior to certification, you will be required to read and acknowledge that you understand this replacement will occur.
- You will be allowed to decertify and make any necessary corrections through June 30.
Educator Effectiveness Summary Report
- The new Educator Effectiveness Summary report provides a summary of the Educator Effectiveness labels reported, as well as drill-down details to ensure reporting accuracy.
- It is critical that this report is utilized to ensure the following:
- Individuals who are not exempt under the EO 2020-65 have been reported with an appropriate label.
- Individuals reported without a rating are appropriately updated to show the "No Eval Emergency Order" label after the collection is certified.

In light of Executive Order 2020-65, strict compliance with rules and procedures related to the minimum number of pupils in attendance on any day of pupil instruction, minimum number of days and hours of instruction, as well as compulsory attendance, have been waived. Accordingly, MDE has provided guidance to CEPI to share with districts on the reporting of student attendance in the EOY 2020 General collection.
Per MDE, Days Attended and Total Possible Attendance should only reflect school days through and including March 13, 2020. Any days of instruction occurring after in-person instruction was suspended via executive order are not to be included in the reporting of attendance data.
As a reminder, the MSDS EOY 2020 General Collection opens on May 15.
If you have questions related to the effects of this order on pupil accounting and auditing, please contact the MDE Office of State Aid and School Finance.
If you have questions related to the effects of this order on the reporting of pupil attendance in the MSDS, please contact CEPI Customer Support.
