AEO Data Submissions Due June 30

Thank you to those who have already submitted Ancestry Ethnic Origin (AEO) data for the 2025-26 school year. AEO data needs to be submitted by June 30, 2026, to be included in the Counting All Students Annual Report.

Tips for submitting AEO data:

• AEO data is synced via Ed-Fi. As long as your district is collecting the data and submitting via Ed-Fi, you are meeting the reporting requirement.
• Refer to the Student Detail Demographic Extended Report (AEO) under the MARSS security role in the EDVP to confirm submitted data.
• Another option: in the EDVP, go to Validation>Validation Results to launch a new validation for this year to confirm submission of data.

The form for families to fill out and the parent letter are available on the Ed-Fi Documentation webpage. Select AEO under data collection on the left-hand side. Additional information about AEO is available via the AEO Data Collection Fact Sheet. If you have questions or would like to schedule a time to talk, please email ed-fi.mde@state.mn.us.
