Migrant Education Program (MEP) Database: MIS2000
Migrant data flows into the WISE systems automatically from the Wisconsin MEP database system, MIS2000. This data from MIS2000 is certified in our Wisconsin snapshots. This automatic flow has been in place since the 2020-21 school year. Prior to this year, migrant data was submitted through SIS vendor tools to WISEdata Portal.
Your SIS vendor tool has the capability to retrieve migrant status student data from WISEdata Portal and store it in your SIS. Contact your vendor to ask questions about how to do this, and to verify that your SIS tool is retrieving data on a regularly updated basis.
NOTE: An alert is present in WISEdata Portal when migrant students have been identified for your district. Students identified on MIS2000 appear in this sub-category because they have at least one of the following:
- an enrollment record submitted by the LEA
- a certificate of eligibility submitted by DPI MEP Staff
Compare the student data presented in WISEdata Portal to the student data present in WISEdash for Districts for accurate and consistent reporting.
