End of Month Enrollment (EOM) Reporting System

Beginning Fall 2006, the Office of Head Start will collect end of month enrollment data from all grantees on a "real-time" basis during the enrollment year. Grantees can use these instructions to access the End of Month Enrollment Reporting System, a web-based application that allows programs to submit their data, and provide the national and regional offices more timely access to it. https://pirweb.net/EOM/indexgr.jsp
