What we will cover• Policy Context of EMCs

• Growth of EMCs in Michigan

• EMC History and Partnership Roles

• Reporting Early Middle College Students in MSDS and TSDL

• Data Quality

• Legislative Rules and State School Aid Pupil Accounting Implications

The Policy Context• The “Dual Enrollment” Bills

o Michigan state legislature passed Public Act 160 of 1996, the Postsecondary Enrollment Options Act, and

o Public Act 258 of 2000, the Career and Technical Preparation Act

• $2 million in grants were awarded to six new “Middle Colleges” to address the shortage of health care workers in Michigan

(Gov. Granholm, 2006)

• $1.7 million committed to incentive dollars for students who successfully pass a dual enrollment course

4/24/2018

The Policy Context• Increased the number of college courses that EMC students

could take while in high school

• Allowed for identification of EMCs as unique five‐year high schools within Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) directory system

• Permitted districts to collect foundation allowances for 5th year EMC students

• Granted flexibility with student tracking in the Single Record Student Database (SRSD) flagging EMC students as program or stand‐alone high school pupils

The Policy Context• Secured a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education to allow

EMC students to be considered on‐time graduates after five years for AYP reporting

• Authorized MEMCA to award certificates to EMC students who miss the 60‐credit mark so they can still be considered as

on‐time graduates

• Permitted sites other than the high school as eligible locations for earning concurrent credit (Gov. Snyder’s 2011 learning model of “Any Time, Any Place, Any Way, Any Pace”)

The Policy Context

• Encouraged districts to exercise school choice options allowing the release of a student from one school to another, including entry into an EMC

• Fostered additional data collection to measure impact and effectiveness to maintain quality (via assurances on formal EMC application)

4 Types of EMCs in Michigan• A stand‐alone public high school (can be a Shared Educational Entity or SEE)

• A school within a school (SWS) (requires a new entity code)

• Public School Academy (charter school)

• EMC 5‐year Program (no new entity code necessary)
