The Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System (MARSS) collects student data required by more than one area of the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) via one system.
Datacollected for MARSS are used for a variety of purposes, including state aid and levy calculations, federal grant allocations, federal and statecivil rights reporting, unduplicated child count, and National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports.
cmERDC iscommitted to our contracted school districtsto assist in making sure your students are reported correctly and your data is submitted tothe MDEas of the submission deadline. MARSS reporting is how each district receives general education funding,which isbased on ADM (Average Daily Membership) per student.The traditional student can receive a maximum of 1 ADM, and the ALC or Independent Study student can receive a maximum of 1.2 ADM. In order to achieve themaximum ADM, coding and enrollment dates must be correct.
When you are a member district we provide advice on correct coding,send applicable reports, and we ensure that your data is submitted to MDE on time and error free by the final submission. We also offer2 main trainings each year, one for Fall and one for End of Year. Please see our MARSS Servicespage for details.
