NEOnet delivers a shared service solution, where in-house EMIS coordinators can report school districts’ required data. NEOnet will coordinate EMIS reporting, conduct training and provide support for key district personnel who need to submit EMIS data to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE), analyze reports, troubleshoot errors, review ODE reports and, lastly, be a resource for superintendents.
The NEOnet team uses an “EMIS Wheel” model to ensure that every ‘spoke’ of the district’s EMIS reporting is maintained and communicated to those involved. NEOnet’s shared EMIS coordinators attend many professional development opportunities, saving districts money on travel. The coordinators can also attend information technology center’s EMIS coordinators’ bi-weekly calls from ODE to
hear updates firsthand.
