PEIMS Data Standards Leaver Reason Codes and Documentation Requirements

The attached table provides expanded definitions and specific documentation guidelines for each of the leaver reason codes listed in Code Table C162 of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) PEIMS Data Standards. The table is organized into the following broad categories of leavers:

Leaver records are not submitted for students who enroll in other Texas public school districts or charters and students who obtain GED certificates at Texas examination sites by August 31. Students who move to other Texas public school districts are considered movers, not leavers. Documentation as described in Appendix D is not required for movers; districts may wish to develop local policy on documentation for movers. The Person Identification Database (PID) Enrollment Tracking (PET) may be used to establish tentative local documentation that students are movers. The final determination of whether students are movers will be made by TEA.

Local policy in this appendix refers to a district's or charter's leaver policies and procedures.
