School Districts
Urlhttps://cepi.state.mi.us/eem/publicdatasets.aspx
ProviderCEPI (Center for Educational Performance and Information) — Educational Entity Master (EEM) tool
Typedynamic export tool (form POST/session-based, not a bare REST GET/query endpoint) — verified live, covers LEA Districts, ISD Districts, PSA Districts, and the State District, downloadable as CSV/Excel/XML
Notea gisp.mcgi.state.mi.us/maps/rest/services/MDE/CEPIDashboardMap/MapServer/1 School Districts ArcGIS layer was also found via search but the host was unreachable (522 error) when checked — the CEPI EEM tool above is the confirmed-live alternative, but a real ingestion script will need to handle it as a semi-dynamic export rather than a simple REST query.
Educational Region
Urlhttps://cepi.state.mi.us/eem/publicdatasets.aspx
Notesame tool exports Intermediate School Districts (57 ISDs) alongside the district rosters above.
