MOSIS Completion ChecklistThe MOSIS option in Payroll is used by Missouri school districts to create files to upload data when preparing the Educator Core and Educator School portions of the Missouri Student Information System submitted to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as part of the October Cycle.
The MOSIS option generates records for the applicable employees (based on the specified pay groups) for the Educator Core Data. The information generated for each employee record includes the employee’s name (first name, last name, middle name, and suffix, if applicable), social security number, date of birth, gender, email address, regular term salary, extra duty salary, and other additional pieces of information, such as race/ethnicity, highest degree attained, etc. Once the MOSIS option is generated for the Educator Core Data, each employee’s information can be verified and then edited, if needed.
Also, the MOSIS option allows the Educator School Data to be entered and tracked for each applicable employee 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 can be imported from another source, such as a student information tracking software, for the applicable employees containing their appropriate school and position codes.
Within the MOSIS option, the Educator Core Data and Educator School Data files can then be created for uploading the data into the state's program. If desired, the MOSIS option can be utilized to create just one of the two files, and does not have to be used for both portions (for example, use the MOSIS option to generate and edit only the Educator Core Data, while not using the portion for the Educator School Data).
Note: Follow the steps on the MOSIS Completion Checklist to ensure all steps are completed properly for the MOSIS option.
