EPS Reporting
[https://mcusercontent.com/a582edd6473e477ef6307c769/images/8e54acb2-0bb2-49f7-6ce3-6621d40f7025.jpeg]October 1 Student Enrollment and Staff Certification for Essential Programs and Services (EPS) will be due October 30. This reporting is critical to calculating funding for school districts. Ensure that staff data are entered with accurate EPS FTEs and student data is collected as soon as possible once school is back in session. Timely collection and data entry will help alleviate some reporting demands in October.

Alternate Economic Status Form
[https://mcusercontent.com/a582edd6473e477ef6307c769/images/889cea1c-74e1-62a7-7a1e-602384d56a42.jpeg]This form offers an alternative means for collecting student economic status other than the free and reduced lunch form. This form is ideal for districts that are receiving Community Eligibility Provisions or Special Provision II resources for school lunch programs and are not eligible to collect free and reduced lunch forms. This form is intended to be used only by school officials entering student data for state reporting and cannot be used by nutrition staff.
Annual collection of Economic Status data is essential for EPS funding.

Data Quality Tip of the Month

[https://mcusercontent.com/a582edd6473e477ef6307c769/_compresseds/93dd77ec-6c01-43c8-0b11-648ca174dc6d.jpeg]Data are most accurate at the source of entry. There are many data elements that families self-report to SAUs which may not be reported with validity. When planning back-to-school activities consider integrating enrollment/registration form trainings for families. This could be a hosted event to review the forms with families, video trainings about the forms, and/or embedded training content in online registrations. Be sure to include information about the purpose of the forms, and the importance of validity when reporting.
