The 203 Student School Leaver and Graduation Program record is reported in Submission 1 and Submission 3.

In Submission 1, the 203 Student School Leaver record identifies students who were enrolled in grades 7-12 at some point during the prior school year and did not graduate, earn a GED by August 31, or return to school enrollment by the last Friday in September. In Submission 1, the 203 Student School Leaver record also identifies students who have graduated in the prior school year.

In Submission 3, the 203 Student Graduation Program record identifies the intent of grade 9-12 students enrolled in the Foundation High School Program by collecting the Participant Code, Distinguished Level of Achievement Indicator Code, and the Endorsement Indicator Codes.

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.

DISTRICT-ID on the 203 Student School Leaver records must match the value for DISTRICT-ID on the LEA 010 District record.

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.

CAMPUS-ID (E0266) indicates the unique campus identification number registered with the Texas Education Agency. It is the linking of DISTRICT-ID with the campus identification number.

For Submission 1, CAMPUS-ID on the 203 Student School Leaver record refers to the identification number of the campus in which the student was last enrolled. For example, if a student completes the eighth grade at a middle school (Grades 6-8), and then fails to return to school at a high school (Grades 9-12) the following fall, he is shown as a school leaver in Grade 8 from the middle school campus. If the Campus from which a student is a “school leaver” in the prior school year is no longer operational in the current school year, then the 203 Student School Leaver record must report the leaver data event using that student’s previous school year’s CAMPUS-ID.

For Submission 3, CAMPUS-ID on the 203 Student Graduation Program record refers to the campus that the high school student was enrolled in on the last day of the school year, or the last day of enrollment during the school year. For example, if a student was enrolled at both campus 004 and campus 003 during the course of the school year and was last enrolled at campus 003, then the 203 Student Graduation Program record should reflect the Foundation High School Program data from campus 003 and not 004.

An instructional campus: 1) has an assigned administrator, 2) has enrolled students who are counted for average daily attendance, 3) has assigned instructional staff, 4) receives federal and/or state and/or local funds as its primary support, 5) provides instruction in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), 6) has one or more grade groups in the range from early education through grade 12, and 7) is not a program for students enrolled in another public school.

An alternative instructional unit: 1) is an instructional site, center, program, or arrangement that is not governed by an individual campus organization, and 2) does not meet the above standard definition of an instructional campus.

LEAVER-REASON-CODE (E1001) indicates the reason a prior year grade 7-12 student has not enrolled in the district during the current school year.

LEAVER-REASON-CODE is only reported in Submission 1. All Leaver Reason Codes, other than code 98, require that the LEA obtain or maintain the documentation for each Leaver Reason Code as specified in Appendix D - Leaver Reason Codes and Documentation Requirements.

The LEAVER-REASON-CODE code table C162 is footnoted, as follows, to indicate the codes that exclude students from being reported as dropouts in the state and federal accountability systems.

Appendix D provides an expanded definition and specific guidelines on acceptable documentation for each of the leaver reason codes listed in code table C162.

DATE-OF-GRADUATION (E0791) indicates the month and year that the student graduated from high school.

The DATE-OF-GRADUATION for a student must fall within the time period of enrollment for the prior school year, up to and including the summer period between the prior school year and the current school year. (i.e. August 2013 through August 2014)

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE (E0806) indicates the type of plan under which the student graduated.

The GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE is only reported in Submission 1 to identify those students who have graduated from high school in the previous school year.

Graduation data is reported for all students who graduated during the prior school year, including summer graduates up through August 31st. To graduate, students must satisfy the requirements under 19 TAC, Section 74, Subchapter B. Special education students must satisfy requirements under 19 TAC, Section 89.1070. The GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE code represents the program with the most stringent requirements that was completed by the student. Refer to the Texas State Graduation Requirements found on the TEA website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=2147486096 .

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE 33 - Foundation High School Program will be retired at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE 34 is published in the 2014-2015 Legacy PEIMS Data Standards, but will not be available for reporting 2013-2014 graduates in the 2014-2015 school year Fall submission. GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE 34 is published early to give LEAs the ability to track Foundation High School Program graduates during the 2014-2015 school year.

The following three GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE charts differentiate the requirements for coding general education and special education students.

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE Chart 1 applies to all students who completed the curriculum and credit requirements for graduation, including satisfactory performance on the exit-level assessment.

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE Chart 2 applies only to students who received special education services, completed the curriculum and credit requirements for graduation, and participated in the statewide assessment instrument identified in the IEP.

GRADUATION-TYPE-CODE Chart 3 applies only to students who received special education services who completed credit requirements for graduation, but whose curriculum content was modified or substituted.

PLEASE NOTE: The content of the curriculum determines the graduation type and drives the applicable coding.

Chart 1 applies to all students in general education and to students receiving special education services for whom the required curriculum content was not modified or substituted and satisfactory performance on the exit-level assessments in place at the time of the student’s enrollment in grade 9 was required.

The codes in this chart apply to students graduating under the minimum, recommended, or distinguished programs, including students receiving special education who graduate according to TAC §89.1070 in effect at the time of the student’s enrollment in grade 9.

See Charts 2 and 3 for students receiving special education services graduating under TAC §89.1070 for whom the student’s ARD committee determined that satisfactory performance on a required state assessment was not required. Students receiving special education services for whom the curriculum content was not modified, and who meet the minimal requirements of the recommended or distinguished program must have that achievement recognized on the Academic Achievement Record.

Instructional accommodations for students with disabilities that do not result in curricular content modifications do not impact graduation requirements. Examples of accommodations that do not impact the graduation plan include one-on-one instruction, small group instruction, multi-sensory approaches, extended time on projects, study guides, highlighted texts, programmed materials, preferential seating, immediate feedback, Braille, books on tape, screen readers, the use of an interpreter or word processor, oral testing, un-timed testing, extended time to complete assignments, shortened tests, alternative evaluation strategies (draw a diagram, develop a model, perform the answer), etc. The use of these and other accommodations is allowed under all three graduation programs.

Chart 2 applies to students receiving special education services graduating under TAC §89.1070 (b)(2) (currently or previously in effect) for whom the required curriculum content was not modified or substituted AND the student participated in (or prior to 2007-2008 was exempted from) the statewide assessment instrument identified in the IEP.

Amendments to TAC §89.1070 adopted to be effective Nov. 11, 2007, require satisfactory performance on the statewide assessment for the recommended and distinguished achievement high school programs for all students entering the ninth grade in 2007-2008 and thereafter; therefore, graduation codes 19 and 20 may be used for students entering the grade 9 prior to the 2007-2008 school year only.

Students receiving special education services for whom the curriculum content was not modified and who meet all of the requirements of the recommended or distinguished program, including satisfactory performance on the standard exit-level assessments, must have that achievement recognized on the Academic Achievement Record, even if the student originally participated in a modified assessment (or was previously exempted from satisfactory performance on the standard exit-level assessment requirement in place at the time of the student’s enrollment in grade 9). In the event that a student completes all of the requirements of the recommended or distinguished program, including satisfactory performance on the standard exit-level assessments, that student should be coded with one of the codes in Chart 1.

The 203 Student - School Leaver record reporting includes all dropouts, graduates, and other school leavers identified during the previous school year for students in grades 7 - 12. Included are all students who fail to re-enroll in the fall by the end of the school start window. (The school-start window extends from the first day of school through the last Friday in September.) This includes students in special education and other special, ungraded, or state-approved alternative programs.

Students who have previously completed all graduation requirements in one school year, but do not pass the exit-level assessments until the next school year, are reported as graduates in the year in which the assessments were passed.

School districts that do not serve all grade levels, such as K-8 districts, will not use the 203 Student - School Leaver record to report students in grade 7 or above who have completed all grades offered in the home district and are transferred to a neighboring K-12 district. These students are considered movers.

In the event of district or charter school consolidations, the absorbing district or charter school must report the school leaver data for the consolidated district. For example, if Texas ISD absorbs Learning ISD through a consolidation, then Texas ISD must report the final leaver (dropout and graduate) data for Learning ISD.

Districts must take appropriate measures to ensure that prior year students who are "no shows" in the current year are not "rolled over" in the student system and reported as enrolled students in the district's PEIMS Submission 1. If this happens, these students may be on the district's underreported student listing the next year. If a student was in grade 7-12 during the prior year, does not enroll in the district within the school-start window, does not enroll in another Texas public school, does not receive a General Educational Development (GED) in Texas by August 31st, and is not accounted for by other state reconciliation processes, then a 203 Student - School Leaver record is reported.

A 203 Student - School Leaver record is not reported in certain circumstances as follows:

Leavers and graduates are reported with different combinations of records depending on their status in the prior and current school years. The chart below indicates the coding required for students in grades 7-12 based on prior year and current year student enrollment data. Refer to the 101 Student Demographic record for detailed requirements related to the As-OF-STATUS-CODE.

The 203 Student Graduation Program record identifies the Foundation High School Program graduation intention of grade 9 – 12 students enrolled at the end of the school year or their enrollment term for the school year. This reporting is accomplished by collecting the Foundation High School Program Participant Code, Distinguished Level of Achievement Indicator Code, and the Endorsement Indicator Codes.

Foundation High School Program Graduation Intention Reporting Requirements
Grade Level on Last Day of Enrollment	AS-OF-STATUS-CODE	Record Required
		100	101	102	203
EE- 6	X	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
7-8	H	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
7-8	I	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
9-12	H	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
9-12	I	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

If a student is reported as enrolled in the Foundation High School Program, then they must also be reported with the Distinguished Level of Achievement Indicator Code and the Endorsement Indicator Codes. Otherwise, the Distinguished Level of Achievement Indicator Code and the Endorsement Indicator Codes must be blank.

Students who are “movers”, moving to or from the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD), Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI), and Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) (formerly TYC) should be treated as any other student moving between LEAs and are not automatically reported with a 203 Leaver record. Students who leave Texas School for the Deaf (TSD), Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (TSBVI), and Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) (formerly TYC) and do not graduate or continue enrollment in another school setting either in or out of Texas should be reported with a 203 Leaver record with the appropriate LEAVER-REASON-CODE.
