Description

The 110 record represents the LEA student enrollment and specific other data as of the Last Friday in October (snapshot date). 

Business Rules

INPUT-RECORD-TYPE-CODE (E0755) identifies the type of data on a PEIMS data submission record.

DISTRICT-ID (E0212) indicates the district identification number registered with the Texas Education Agency.

STUDENT-ID (E0001) is the student's Social Security number or a state-approved alternate identification number.

When available, the student's Social Security number should be used. If this number is not available, follow the instructions in Section 2 for the assignment of an alternate identification number.

The first character of STUDENT-ID must be "S" or "0"-"8". (implemented by edits 10001 and 10504)

Migrant three- and four-year-olds who do not have a Social Security number should still be reported through PEIMS using a state-assigned alternate ID number. Children should never be omitted from PEIMS merely because they do not have a Social Security number.

CAMPUS-ID-OF-ENROLLMENT (E0782) indicates the unique campus identification number of the campus in which the student is enrolled.

The last three characters of CAMPUS-ID-OF-ENROLLMENT must be in the range of 001-698. 699 is designated for summer school, and is never used in reporting student data.

Each student in a district is considered to be enrolled on only one campus, although services may be received on numerous campuses. If a district's enrollment procedures allow for enrollment in more than one campus, report the campus in which the child receives the majority of his instruction. For Gifted/Talented program or advanced placement students enrolled in more than one campus, choose the campus corresponding to the student's regular grade level. The campus must be a valid number registered with TEA.

For those children who are not in membership in the district, such as some children served through the Early Childhood Intervention program, CAMPUS-ID-OF-ENROLLMENT may be left blank. However, if CAMPUS-ID-OF-ENROLLMENT is left blank, then the GRADE-LEVEL-CODE for the student must be EE. All other GRADE-LEVEL-CODEs, PK – 12, must be reported with a valid CAMPUS-ID-OF-ENROLLMENT.

GRADE-LEVEL-CODE (E0017) indicates the current grade level of the student.

GRADE-LEVEL-CODE corresponds to the grade assigned in the attendance accounting records of the district, as specified in the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook.

Those students who have graduated, but returned to school, are shown as grade 12.

A student in a three-year-old Prekindergarten program should be shown with a GRADE-LEVEL-CODE of PK. Migrant three-and-four-year-olds served in a campus-based program funded wholly or in part by Title I, Part C (Migrant) funds should also be coded PK.

The Early Education (EE) grade level includes Early Childhood Intervention (ECI), Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities, Head Start, and other programs for students not actually placed in a state-approved grade level (PK-12). Migrant three-and-four-year-olds served in a home-based early childhood program funded wholly or in part by Title I, Part C (Migrant) funds (e.g., the Building Bridges Program) should also be coded EE.

Refer to the guidelines in the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook, Section IV regarding students being served in both the Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities and the prekindergarten program.

Grade level of a school leaver refers to the last grade of enrollment. Students who complete a grade, but do not return to school within the school-start window the following year, will be reported with the grade level during the last year of enrollment. Grade level is reported on the 101 record.

Migrant three-and-four-year-olds served in a campus-based program funded wholly or in part by Title I, Part C (Migrant) funds should also be coded PK. Migrant three-and-four-year-olds served in a home-based early childhood program funded wholly or in part by Title I, Part C (Migrant) funds (e.g., the Building Bridges Program) should also be coded EE.

PK-MILITARY-INDICATOR-CODE (E1038) PK-MILITARY-INDICATOR-CODE indicates whether the student is the child of an active duty member of the armed forces of the United States, including the state military forces or a reserved component of the armed forces, who is ordered to active duty by proper authority.

The member of the armed forces is a parent or official guardian of the child. The term “member of the armed forces” includes:

• active duty uniformed members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard assigned to duty stations in Texas;
• active duty uniformed members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard who are Texans and have eligible children residing in Texas;
• activated/mobilized uniformed members of the Texas National Guard (Army or Air Guard), or activated/mobilized members of the Reserve components of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard who are Texas residents regardless of the location of the reserve unit; and
• uniformed service members who are Missing in Action (MIA).

Also eligible is a child of a member of the armed forces of the United States, including the state military forces or a reserved component of the armed forces, who was injured or killed while serving on active duty.

The PK-MILITARY-INDICATOR-CODE indicates whether the student is the child of an active duty member of the armed forces of the United States, including the state military forces or a reserved component of the armed forces, who is ordered to active duty by proper authority, or who was injured or killed while serving on active duty. The indicator reports whether or not a prekindergarten student was determined to be eligible for the prekindergarten program due to the military eligibility requirements.

ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE (E0787) indicates the eligibility status of the student as reflected in the attendance accounting records of the district.

A student who is not in membership (served at least two hours per day) should be coded as "0". Migrant students below age five participating only in an off-campus migrant funded early childhood program should be coded as "0".

The ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE identifies the level of membership and Average Daily Attendance eligibility for a particular student. Additional requirements and rules concerning this code are available in Section 3 of the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook

Migrant students under the age of five participating in off-campus early childhood education programs should be coded "0" for ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE. Any student not in membership in any district, but receiving services, should be coded "0" for ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE.

BILINGUAL-PROGRAM-TYPE-CODE (E1042) indicates whether the student is participating in a state-approved bilingual education program which is a full-time program of dual-language instruction through the TEKS in the content areas (mathematics, science, health and social studies) in the primary language of limited English proficient (LEP) students and also for carefully structured and sequenced mastery of English cognitive academic language development. (See 19 TAC §89.1210(b).)

ESL-PROGRAM-TYPE-CODE (E1043) indicates whether the student is participating in a state-approved English as a Second Language (ESL) program. An ESL program in grades PK – 8 is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers either certified or endorsed in ESL who use second language acquisition information to teach LEP students the ESL TEKS. An ESL program in grades 9 – 12 is a program of intensive instruction in English from teachers trained in recognizing and dealing with language differences. [See 19 TAC §89.1210(f).]

If a student is reported with a PARENTAL-PERMISSION-CODE of "F", the student must also be coded as ESL and LEP, and in grades 9-12.

Bilingual/ESL funds are earned by eligible students who are taught in "modified courses" also known as “sheltered courses”.

In these modified (sheltered) courses, a teacher who is not certified for Bilingual/ESL has received specific training for educating LEP students.

A modified (sheltered) course setting does not change the TEKS requirements of the course being taught to ESL students. Modified (sheltered) courses are to be reported using available SERVICE-IDs in Code Table 022, which match the TEKS for the course being taught.

LEP-INDICATOR-CODE (E0790) indicates whether the student has been identified as limited English proficient by the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC), or English proficient (19 TAC §89.1220), according to criteria established in 19 TAC §89.1225.

Monitored 1 or Monitored 2 LEP status is reported for those students who have recently been exited from the bilingual/ESL programs and are determined to no longer be Limited English Proficient (LEP). This information is reported for the first two school years on all students who have exited LEP status.

Exit criteria is applicable to LEP students who are identified and are served in either a required Bilingual or a required ESL program or are being served in a regular classroom due to a LEP (Parental) Denial

The following exit criteria must be met in order to change an identified LEP student to a non-LEP status.

• TEA-approved tests that measure the extent to which the student has developed oral and written language proficiency and specific language skills in English;
• satisfactory performance on the reading assessment instrument under the Texas Education Code, §39.023(a), or an English language arts assessment instrument administered in English, or a score at or above the 40th percentile on both the English reading and the English language arts sections of a TEA-approved norm-referenced assessment instrument for a student who is enrolled in Grade 1 or 2; and
• TEA-approved criterion-referenced written tests when available, other TEA approved tests when criterion referenced written test is not available, and the results of a subjective teacher evaluation.

HOME-LANGUAGE-CODE (E0895) indicates the language spoken in the student's home, as determined by the student's home language survey. (See 19 TAC §89.1215.)

HOME-LANGUAGE-CODE and LEP-INDICATOR-CODE are requested for all students, regardless of whether they have been determined LEP. If a language other than English is referenced in the Home Language Survey, then that language should be indicated in HOME-LANGUAGE-CODE. If LEP-INDICATOR-CODE is "1", then PARENTAL-PERMISSION-CODE must not be blank.

PARENTAL-PERISSION-CODE (E0896) indicates whether the student's parent or legal guardian has approved placement of the student in the required bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) program. (See 19 TAC §89.1240.)

PK-PROGRAM-TYPE-CODE (E1078) indicates the length of the Pre-kindergarten instructional day for a particular Pre-kindergarten student.

This code captures the level of participation in the PK program. The PK-PROGRAM-TYPE-CODE is required for all PK students reported in Submission 1. See PEIMS Code Table C185. From this information and other PEIMS data elements, TEA can compute the data needed to meet legislative reporting requirements.

AT-RISK-INDICATOR-CODE (E0919) indicates whether a student is currently identified as at-risk of dropping out of school using state-defined criteria only (TEC §29.081, Compensatory and Accelerated Instruction). Please note that a student with a disability may be considered to be at-risk of dropping out of school if the student meets one or more of the statutory criteria for being in an at-risk situation that is not considered to be part of the student’s disability. A student with a disability is not automatically coded as being in an at-risk situation. Districts should use the student's individualized education program (IEP) and other appropriate information to make the determination.

A student at-risk of dropping out of school includes each student who is under 21 years of age and who:

• is in prekindergarten, kindergarten or grade 1, 2, or 3 and did not perform satisfactorily on a readiness test or assessment instrument administered during the current school year;
• is in grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 and did not maintain an average equivalent to 70 on a scale of 100 in two or more subjects in the foundation curriculum during a semester in the preceding or current school year or is not maintaining such an average in two or more subjects in the foundation curriculum in the current semester;
• was not advanced from one grade level to the next for one or more school years; (Note: From 2010-2011 forward, TEC 29.081 (d-1) excludes from this criteria prekindergarten or kindergarten students who were not advanced to the next grade level as a result of a documented request by the student’s parent.)
• did not perform satisfactorily on an assessment instrument administered to the student under TEC Subchapter B, Chapter 39, and who has not in the previous or current school year subsequently performed on that instrument or another appropriate instrument at a level equal to at least 110 percent of the level of satisfactory performance on that instrument;
• is pregnant or is a parent;

The definition of students in at-risk situations includes students who are parents. In order to be considered a parent, the following conditions must be met:

• the child of the student must still be alive;
• the student must continue to have regular contact with the child; and
• the student must continue to provide regular emotional and physical support (e.g., food, clothing, shelter, health care) for the child.

Given these conditions, a student who has given a child up for adoption and no longer has any contact with the child should not be considered to be in an at-risk situation under this section of the definition. Similarly, if the student (either the mother or the father) no longer has any regular contact with the child, the student should not be considered a parent.

On the other hand, a student who is not a birth mother or father MAY be a parent. A high school student may be considered a parent when the student is assuming responsibility for the regular provision of emotional and physical support for a child (e.g., a sibling). A stepfather or a stepmother can also be considered a parent if they meet the conditions listed above.

• This definition does not exclude students who assume only partial responsibility for the emotional and/or physical support of a child. The mother, father, or student acting as parent may be considered a parent if other individuals (e.g., grandparents, other relatives, friends) are providing partial support of the child's needs.
• has been placed in an alternative education program in accordance with TEC §37.006 during the preceding or current school year;
• has been expelled in accordance with TEC §37.007 during the preceding or current school year;
• is currently on parole, probation, deferred prosecution, or other conditional release;
• was previously reported through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) to have dropped out of school;
• is a student of limited English proficiency, as defined by TEC §29.052;
• is in the custody or care of the Department of Protective and Regulatory Services or has, during the current school year, been referred to the department by a school official, officer of the juvenile court, or law enforcement official;
• is homeless, as defined NCLB, Title X, Part C, Section 725(2), the term “homeless children and youths”, and its subsequent amendments; or
• resided in the preceding school year or resides in the current school year in a residential placement facility in the district, including a detention facility, substance abuse treatment facility, emergency shelter, psychiatric hospital, halfway house, or foster group home.

Districts must periodically evaluate the status of each student, and use the appropriate entry and exit procedures. Students do not remain identified as being in an at-risk situation throughout their school career unless they continue to meet one of the at-risk criteria.

State compensatory education funds must be used for providing intensive and accelerated instructional services to at-risk students. However, the state compensatory education allotment for a district is not based on students identified as at-risk, but rather is based on students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch as reported monthly to the Division of Child Nutrition. Thus, some of the students who generate the state compensatory funds may not be the ones actually receiving the services funded by the compensatory allotment.

For further information on at-risk students, access the TEA website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index4.aspx?id=1222 .

Additional information on at-risk students may be obtained by contacting your regional Education Service Center State Compensatory Education contact.

PK-FOSTER-CARE-INDICATOR-CODE (E1041) indicates whether a prekindergarten student is or ever has been in the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services following an adversary hearing held as provided by Section 262.201, Family Code.

TITLE-I-PART-A-INDICATOR-CODE (E0894) indicates whether the student is participating in a program authorized under ESEA, Title I, Part A of the Improving America's Schools Act.

A migrant student who is not receiving Title I, Part A services should have a code of 0 for TITLE-I-PART-A-INDICATOR-CODE. However, if this same migrant student was previously served by Title I, Part A at the current campus, the student should have a code of 8.

SPECIAL-ED-INDICATOR-CODE (E0794) indicates whether the student is participating in a special education instructional and related services program or a general education program using special education support services, supplementary aids, or other special arrangements. (See 34 CFR §300.13 and 19 TAC §§89.1060 and 89.1090.)

Students with disabilities enrolled by their parents in private schools (including a home school) who are receiving special education and/or related services from a public school should be coded “0” for ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE. Any student not in membership in any district, but receiving services, should be coded “0” for ADA-ELIGIBILITY-CODE.

PRIMARY-PK-FUNDING-SOURCE-CODE (E1079) indicates the primary source of funding for a Pre-kindergarten student.

SECONDARY-PK-FUNDING-SOURCE-CODE (E1080) indicates the secondary source of funding for a Pre-kindergarten student.

The Primary and Secondary PK Funding Source Codes are only reported for PK students who are Enrolled, Not in membership (ADA Eligibility Code 0), PK students who are funded for half-day but attend full-day, and PK students who are ineligible for state funding. These students will at least have a Primary PK Funding Source Code and may have a Secondary PK Funding Source Code reported. See PEIMS Code Table C186.

GIFTED-TALENTED-INDICATOR-CODE (E0034) indicates whether the student is participating in a state-approved gifted and talented program, as defined in 19 TAC §89.1.

IMMIGRANT-INDICAOR-CODE (E0797) indicates whether the student is an identified immigrant under the definition found under Title III of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), where the term ‘immigrant children and youth’ is defined as, “individuals who are aged 3 through 21; were not born in any state; and have not been attending one or more schools in any one or more states for more than 3 full academic years. The term ‘State’ means each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. (See P.L. 107-110 Title III, Part C, § 3301(6).)

The term immigrant has three definitions approved by the Texas Education Agency. Each definition serves a unique purpose. The NCLB definition serves to identify the recent immigrants for the Title III program. The Student Assessment Division’s definition assists in determining the appropriate evaluation of the LEP students in Texas. The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) I and II definition determines eligibility of the LEP students who may receive high school credit for these two courses.

• NCLB DEFINITION:

For PEIMS reporting purposes the federal definition of “immigrant” is used. Please refer to the definition listed under E0797 IMMIGRANT-INDICATOR-CODE.

• STUDENT ASSESSMENT DEFINITION:

For the sole purpose of the statewide Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS), any Limited English Proficient (LEP) student who has resided outside the fifty United States for at least two consecutive years can be designated an “immigrant student” and may qualify for exemption from the State Assessment if additional criteria as specified on the LPAC Decision-Making Procedural Manual are met. (LPAC Decision-Making Process for the Texas Assessment Program (Grades 3-12): Procedural Manual and Forms). 19 TAC §101.1005, 101.1007, 101.1009. The current manual may be accessed using the following URL: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment.

• ESOL I AND ESOL II DEFINITION:

For ESOL I and ESOL II, Chapter 74 does not provide a specific definition of “immigrant.” The dictionary defines an “immigrant” as a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence. An immigrant student is a student who was not born in the United States. For additional information please go to the Curriculum Division webpage and select Bilingual ESL at the following URL: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/curriculum/biling/ .

High school students enrolled in English for Speakers of Other Languages I and English for Speakers of Other Languages II may not receive high school graduation credit unless they are LEP and are immigrants to the United States.

If the student has ever been coded as immigrant they can take and receive graduation credit for ESOL I and ESOL II (time in this instance is not an issue with regard to the 3 year status referred to in the data element definition of immigrant). Please refer to the ESL Business Rules for grades 9-12 on previous page for additional information.

If the student is not an immigrant but is identified as LEP, then the student may be reported as English as a Second Language (ESL) for funding purposes. However, the district must document in the Language Proficiency Assessment Committee (LPAC) annual review form the services being provided to meet the student’s needs.

Immigrant status under the Title III – Language Instruction for Limited English Proficient and Immigrant Students of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, should not be confused with immigrant status as defined for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Districts should not assume responsibility for determining the extent to which students are legal or illegal immigrants under DHS regulations. Definition of immigrant should not be confused with definition used for state assessment purposes or definition used for student eligibility to English I for Speakers of Other Languages or English II for Speakers of Other Languages taught in high school.

Texas is required to use the federal definition under Title III of NCLB in order to determine immigrant student counts for funding and for coding in PEIMS.

LOCAL-STUDENT-ID (E0923) is the student's local identification number as assigned by the district.

LOCAL-STUDENT-ID is an optional data element.

Many districts have expressed concerns about the difficulty in clearing student data errors when the district uses a local ID number, rather than a SSN or alternate ID number.

If the LOCAL-STUDENT-ID is supplied, any student error messages will be printed with the local number.

SSI-PROMOTION-RETENTION-CODE (E1030) indicates whether the student was promoted or retained as a result of participation in the Student Success Initiative (SSI) as described in TAC Chapter 101, Subchapter BB and TEC §28.0211.

This indicator must be reported for every student meeting all of the following conditions:

• the student was eligible for assessment/testing as specified by TAC §101.2003; and
• the student in the previous school year was in a grade to which the SSI applies; and
• a Grade Placement Committee as required by TAC §101.2007 was established for the student because the student had not met the SSI requirements after the second assessment/testing date; and
• the student did not meet SSI requirements after the third assessment/testing date.

SSI-PROMOTION-RETENTION-CODE, applies only to students participating in the Student Success Initiative (SSI). Refer to TAC Chapter 101, Subchapter BB and TEC §28.0211 for SSI information. The SSI will be phased in over several school years as described below.

• In 2004-2005, students in grade 3 must perform satisfactorily on the Reading assessment instrument to be promoted to grade 4 and students in grade 5 must perform satisfactorily on the Reading and Mathematics assessment instruments to be promoted to grade 6 or be promoted by decision of their Grade Placement Committees. E1030 applies to students in grades 3-6 in 2005-2006 and beyond.
• In 2007-2008, students in grade 8 must perform satisfactorily on the Reading and Mathematics assessment instruments to be promoted to grade 9 or be promoted by decision of their Grade Placement Committees. E1030 applies to students in grades 3-6, 8, and 9 in 2008-2009 and beyond.
• In 2009-2010, the Texas Legislature amended the Texas Education Code 28.0211 such that students in grade 3 who are retained or promoted after the spring of 2009 will no longer be affected by the Student Success Initiative. E1030 applies to students in grades 5, 6, 8, and 9 in 2009-2010 and beyond.

Each school district and charter school shall establish procedures for convening a Grade Placement Committee to prescribe accelerated instruction for each student who fails to demonstrate proficiency on the second administration of the assessment instrument(s) required for promotion. A student who does not pass the third assessment instrument(s) required for promotion may be promoted by unanimous decision of his or her Grade Placement Committee. Refer to TEC §28.0211(c) and TAC §101.2007 for Grade Placement Committee information and roles.

For SSI purposes, “assessment instrument” refers to the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS).

SSI-PROMOTION-RETENTION-CODE, “does not meet SSI requirements” refers to students who do not pass the appropriate assessment instrument(s) required for promotion. This includes students who are tested and do not pass the assessment instrument(s) and students who are absent or do not receive test scores.

When a student who participates in the SSI transfers/relocates to another public school or charter district in Texas, the receiving district should obtain Grade Placement Committee documentation from the student’s previous school district through the records request process. This documentation should include the previous district’s accelerated instruction and promotion/retention decision(s) and/or provide valuable details about the student’s progress and assessment score(s) so that the receiving district may better decide whether the SSI student should be promoted or retained.
