How to Import MEPIDs

The MEPID (Massachusetts Education Personnel ID) is a unique identifier assigned to all educators and to school district staff in Massachusetts. MEPIDs were developed as part of the Education Personnel Information Management System (EPIMS) and enable the collection of educator and staff data at the individual level from school districts to the Department.

A MEPID will be assigned to anyone who creates a profile in ELAR. Once an applicant creates a profile, their MEPID can be found in the Personal Information section on the Inquiry Activity – Summary page in ELAR.

MEPIDs are needed for SIF EPIMs (Education Personnel Information Management System) reporting. Typically, at least two times a year, MEPIDs will be download from the state site and then imported into Aspen, matching on the staff local id.
