Shared Educational Entity (SEE)

• A SEE is an Early/Middle College that enrolls
  students from multiple districts.
• It allow districts to report students in an
  entity (the E/MC) not within the district's
  hierarchy.
• This model requires a new entity code.

School Within a School (SWS)

• Operates within an existing high school. Some
  students attend the regular high school for 4
  years, other students participate in a 5 year
  program.

If you are opening a new Early/Middle College, it
will be necessary to establish a new EEM entity
code. If you have a current school that will
become an Early/Middle College, the current EEM
record will need to be modified. In either case,
please send an e-mail message with the details to
CEPI_at_michigan.gov or call 517-335-0505.
