Reporting LEA MOE Data to OSEP
Preparing & Submitting Your Data
States submit their data annually through the EDFacts Metadata and Process System (EMAPS), which opens in June.
Data elements. Categories of LEA-level data elements include basic identification information; IDEA 611 and 619 allocations; LEA MOE compliance status; MOE reduction amounts if taken; whether the LEA reserved IDEA allocations as part of comprehensive (required) or voluntary provision of coordinated early intervening services (CEIS); the amount of IDEA funds reserved for CEIS; and the number of students served using CEIS or CCEIS funds.
Writing data notes. Data notes are a helpful way to explain your data and allow external users to understand the nuances of your data. SEAs submit data notes directly in EMAPS using the comment field.
