Pupil Accounting Information

The Jackson County ISD assists local school districts with pupil accounting and reporting to the state – a vital service to districts that depend on student counts for their state foundation allowance. The JCISD also provides training and updates for other reports that schools are required by law to give to their ISD or the Michigan Department of Education.
