MSID File Background and Use
The Master School Identification file is maintained by the Florida Department of
Education to ensure that the department provides accurate identification and
directory information on each Florida public school in the state. This file contains
information for all public PK-12 schools, as well as for adult and technical schools
operated by district school boards.
Information from this file is used for direct communication to the schools, as well as
for reporting data for each school. The MSID file is used to edit all records submitted
to the department’s student, staff and Finance Automated Database Systems. The
MSID provides the basis for accountability reporting including annual school grades. It
is the basis for reporting to the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) via the
Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN) reporting system, as well as the
Consolidated State Performance Report (CSPR). The federally- assigned identification
numbers, which are required for certain grant applications and for assignment of E-
rate funds, are provided to the FDOE the year following submission of new school
information to the USDE.
