FAQ: For Missouri districts, what steps do I need to take to create the files for MOSIS?
To create the files when preparing the Educator Core and Educator School portions of the Missouri Student Information System to submit to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as part of the October Cycle, complete the MOSIS option located under the Government Reporting menu in Payroll.
Educator Core Data:
The MOSIS option generates records for the employees in selected pay groups for the Educator Core data. After generating the Educator Core data, the records can be verified and edited, if needed, and the Core Data File can be created to upload into the state’s program.
Educator School Data:
The MOSIS option also allows the Educator School Data to be entered and tracked for the applicable employees in order to record each school building (attendance center), position code, and/or Career and Technical Education program to which the employee is tied. The FTE and salary associated for each record for the employees can be populated based on their information from the Employee File or the values for the FTE and salary can be entered manually. If desired, the Educator School Data containing the appropriate school and position codes for employees can be imported from another source, such as a student information tracking software. After the Educator School Data is entered or imported, the School Data File can be created to upload into the state’s program.
Tip: To generate new salaries from the Employee File in Payroll for the employees included in the Educator School Data, complete the following steps: 1) add any new employees into the School Data List on the Edit School Data screen within the MOSIS option; 2) click the Update Salary/FTE button located at the bottom of the Edit School Data screen; and 3) if needed, edit the information to adjust employees’ salaries for any changes or splits (such as for an employee who has one contract set up in the Employee File in Payroll but has two positions or assignments in the School Data screen).
