Crosswalk
The State developed a "crosswalk" in order to map how Texas PEIMS
Instructional Arrangement Codes align to the federal definitions for Educational
Environments for students ages 3-5. Definitions for the PEIMS Instructional
Arrangements are in the Student Attendance Accounting Handbook
located on the TEA website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/school.finance/handbook/index.html.
