NWOCA EMIS Submission Policy

 

ITEM #1

 

All requests or authorizations to submit EMIS data MUST be sent in one of the two following methods:

 

  1. Enter a ticket request into the CAUSD helpdesk system.  You can log into this system using the following url: http://helpdesk.usd.oecn.k12.oh.us/CAISD/PDMWEB.EXE

Be sure to select the NWOCA.EMIS.SUPPORT request area.

 

  1. Send an email to the EMIS Staff at NWOCA (MAIL_STAFF_EMIS@nwoca.org).  This will insure that all members responsible for the tracking and completion of your submission will receive notification from you.  Please make it clear that you are authorizing or requesting that NWOCA submit your EMIS data for a specific reporting period.

 

ITEM #2

 

- NWOCA will only guarantee that requests for EMIS submissions received BEFORE 5pm EACH THURSDAY before an ODE Processing deadline will be submitted to ODE.

 

We are implementing this policy to assure that NWOCA has enough time to process all of you requests and insure that your EMIS data is submitted to ODE for the processing period announced by ODE.

 

Notes:

 

Item #1 - This does not mean that you can not phone us with you request or authorization to submit your data.  However, since phone calls or email sent to an individual reaches only one of our EMIS staff members, it is possible that your request could somehow be missed.  Your submission is very important, so please, whenever possible, be sure to send your request to MAIL_STAFF_EMIS.

 

Item #2 - NWOCA will, as we have in the past, process as many Friday morning requests for submissions that we can, regardless of the time that request is sent.  However, we will NOT be able to guarantee that requests sent on Friday morning will result in your data being submitted to ODE before their weekly processing deadline of Noon.  Again, your submission is very important, so please be sure to send your request to NWOCA as soon as possible.

 

Due to the ODE enforced deadline of Noon for EMIS submissions, NWOCA will no longer process submission requests received after Noon on Fridays.  These submission would be made on the following Monday.  Should an extreme situation occur, please contact NWOCA EMIS personnel to see if any exception could be made regarding ODE processing.
