An Ohio Education and Workforce bulletin dated Oct. 9, 2026, states that the day is the final opportunity for treasurers to finish a required review of 2026 finance data reported through EMIS. According to the bulletin, treasurers must indicate whether that data is accurate when completing and submitting the 2026 Finance Data Review form.
EMIS Data Review and Verification forms are described in the bulletin as part of EMIS reporting under Ohio Revised Code 3301.0714. The bulletin further says treasurers are legally required to review and certify data quality under Ohio Administrative Code 3301-14-01 (G). It warns that failure to complete the process may lead to progressive sanctions under Ohio Administrative Code 3301-17.
The bulletin notes that a completion status spreadsheet for the FY26 Finance Data Review was recently updated on the EMIS Data Review and Verification webpage. It directs readers to that webpage for details about the review window, timeline, and process. Questions about data reviews are directed to the Department's Office of Data Quality.
The bulletin lists contact information including a Columbus address, phone numbers and an email for EMIS inquiries.
