The Center for Educational Performance and Information (CEPI) maintains the state of Michigan’s database of school directory information, the School Code Master.   The data maintained in the School Code Master are used for mandated data submissions to the state and federal government and are critical to fulfilling the requirements of No Child Left Behind and Education YES!  If your district’s data in the School Code Master are not accurate, you may have difficulty in submitting your student, personnel, and safety data to CEPI. 

In order to avoid any delays in or complications with your data submissions, please regularly verify and update your district’s data in the School Code Master.  It is especially critical that you verify your district’s records if your district has undergone any re-configuration of grade levels.  Correct grade-level designation of buildings and facilities is important to the generation of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) reports.

If you do not know your district’s School Code Master authorized user, please contact the DIT Education Help Desk at 517.335.0505 or Help-Desk@michigan.gov.  When contacting the Help Desk, please have your district code.

Authorized users can access the School Code Master at www.michigan.gov/scm.  Click on the Authorized User Login link in the upper right quadrant of the screen.  Using your MEIS password, login to the SCM.  Click on “View/edit my schools/facilities” to see a complete list of schools/facilities/districts for which you are responsible.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
