1. { Shared Educational Entities and the Sending Scores Back Policy 2013-2014 School Year

2.  A shared educational entity or “SEE” is an entity that serves students from multiple districts (NOT solely through Schools of Choice). SEEs serve students from neighboring districts to provide special services.  Being a SEE allows other districts to enroll students to the SEE building that doesn’t “belong” to their own district. This would otherwise NOT be allowed by the traditional district-school relationship in the Educational Entity Master (EEM). What is a Shared Educational Entity (SEE)?

3.  Policy mechanism created to attribute student scores to district-level accountability, rather than to a school building or program.  Created to help “good deed” schools and programs have some flexibility on how school accountability is distributed.  SEEs/S2E2s for reporting and accountability thus have special accountability rules applied for the Michigan School Accountability Scorecards. What is the “Sending Scores Back” policy?

4.  Alternative Education  Early/Middle College  Gifted & Talented  Special Education  “Other Types” “Good deed” School & Program Types Eligible to Apply for Sending Scores Back are:

What are the different types of Shared Educational Entities?

6. Early/Middle Colleges approved by the MDE Office of Career and Technical Education (OCTE) are SEEs for Student Reporting Only by default BUT scores will NOT be sent back to resident districts for these entities UNLESS they apply to be SEE for Student Reporting and Accountability with BAA Early/Middle Colleges
