The Rules
Student Attendance Accounting Handbook
The most significant changes in the 2000-2001 Handbook deal with the consolidation of special education instructional setting codes 04 and 05 into a single new code (90) and the eligibility of special education and career and technology students placed in disciplinary settings. Please make note of these rule changes as they may have an impact on your data reporting and your district's funding. A vertical line in the right margin of the Handbook indicates a change between the 1999-2000 Handbook and the 2000-2001 Handbook. If there is any change in a paragraph, the entire paragraph has a margin line. If a paragraph has been deleted, the blank line where the paragraph was deleted has a margin line. Even though margin lines identify all changes to the Handbook, a list of significant changes is contained in Section I Overview.
If you have questions concerning the 2000-2001 Student Attendance Accounting Handbook, please contact the PEIMS Coordinator at the regional education service center. If questions cannot be resolved, the Coordinator will contact the Texas Education Agency.
Sincerely,
Nancy Vaughan
Coordinator for Information Systems
