PI-1563 Pupil Count Reporting Instructions

Overview

The School Financial Services (SFS) Team provides a "reporting portal" through which districts will access all required SFS Team reports. These instructions are designed to guide district staff to the PI-1563 Pupil Count reporting program and to the instructions for completing this report.

Special Notes

The program will close and return the user to the ID page after twenty minutes of continuous inactivity. Users can enter data, submit the data and then exit the program. Upon re-entry, the previous data will be displayed and the user can update the data if the user wishes. An audit trail will be created when changes are made after the data has been saved.

Counting Public School 9th Graders for the Personal Electronic Computing Device Grant (PECDG)

This page guides each public school district regarding the need of all school districts in the fall of 2019 to still record the number of ninth grade students in the PI-1563-September report. Wisconsin statute 115.438(4)(a)1 speaks to the responsibility of each school district to provide the number of ninth grade students to DPI through the end of this grant program in 2022-23. This data must be reported even though the 2019 Act 9 Personal Electronic Computing Devices Grant is no longer funded, effective with the 2019-20 school year.
