[DistrictEmisCoordinators] FW: EMIS Newsflash – January 12, 2026

Mon Jan 12 11:39:49 EST 2026

I am making sure that everyone has seen this….  Sorry for the delay in forwarding to everyone (I know I have emails/tickets that I am currently trying to get to in regards to this)…….

A couple of things to note with this……

  1.  IF you used the FFE for this year 2025/2026 and the information was exported to the Data Collector; MVECA will have a copy of it BUT PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THE FILE FROM YOUR DATA SOURCES or we will no longer have it
  2.  If you are uncertain if you used the FFE editor this year, just look under your Data Sources for a SEQ file from dates ranging from 7/1/2025 to current (keep in mind that some summer dates could have been for 2024/2025 school year)
  3.  If you have more specific questions please let me know

Angie

Here's what's inside

  *   EMISFFE End of Life

EMISFFE End of Life
As has been mentioned at various conferences over the past year, the EMISFFE application is going to be retired once the Data Collector is ready to accept CSV formatted data for all record types. We are confirming that CSV formats for all record types are supported for this year’s remaining reporting; therefore, the last date EMISFFE will be available is April 15, 2026. Prior to that date, districts actively using EMISFFE may wish to save any data they have entered by utilizing the Export data option from the menu. This option will generate EMIS flat formatted output.
If there is data in EMISFFE that is no longer needed, districts are asked to delete such data if possible; however, this is not required.
SSDT staff will be exporting and archiving any data in the EMISFFE database after April 15. This archive data is only intended to be accessed in critical, unexpected situations—if you will likely need EMISFFE data in the future, please export it now instead of relying on this archive.
After April 15, districts without a SIS or other program/process that can generate an EMIS reporting flat file format will need to format EMIS data in a CSV format as outlined in the EMIS Manual; in particular, see Section 1.2: General Data Characteristics<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Feducation.ohio.gov%2FTopics%2FData%2FEMIS%2FEMIS-Documentation%2FCurrent-EMIS-Manual/1/0100019bb2b1b683-d02aede5-d316-4543-8939-9d99e67c65ec-000000/qH74au0T5MR3gdxMViLHDZrhFDbtxbTKS_HRvVrJ5T8=439>. The EMIS Data Collectors at your ITCs will accept and process CSV formatted files. Within each collection request, each record type can only include CSV or flat file formatted data. The 2 data formats cannot be mixed for the same record type in the same collection attempt.

If you have any questions or concerns about this transition, please submit them to the EMIS Helpdesk.
