ADDED! EARLY-READING-INDICATOR-CODE
(E1522) indicates whether a student is eligible for
accelerated reading instruction as a result of reading
difficulties or having dyslexia as indicated by the
administered reading instrument.
Previously reported through eGrants
The EARLY-READING-INDICATOR-CODEs 1, 2 and
3 only apply to students in grades KG, 01, and 02.
Students enrolled in all other grade levels should be
reported with a blank.
•
For Submission 1: report eligibility status based on the
Beginning of Year assessment results.
•
For Submission 3: report eligibility status based on the
latest assessment results available for the student.
•
For Submission 4: The EARLY-READINGINDICATOR-CODE must be blank for all students.



1 - Student is eligible for accelerated reading instruction
as indicated by the administered reading instrument on
the commissioner’s list or approved by district committee
under TEC 28.006. (For grades KG, 01, and 02 only)
2 - Student is not eligible for accelerated reading
instruction as indicated by the administered reading
instrument on the commissioner’s list or approved by
district committee under TEC 28.006. (For grades KG,
01, and 02 only)
3 - Student was not assessed. (For grades KG, 01, and
02 only)

If the TRANSPORTATION-CTE-SUPPORTSERVICE data element is reported with a code of
“1”, then the ECONOMIC-DISADVANTAGECODE on the 101 Student Demographic record
cannot be reported with a code of “00”.
2012-2013

SERVICE-ID (E0724) refers to the services supplied by
staff.

For the 305 Teacher Class Assignment record, do not
include courses with SERVICE-IDs that begin with SA,
SE, SR, SS, 01, 8, or 9. Additionally the SERVICE-IDs
for Prekindergarten and Kindergarten that begin with
“02” cannot be reported on the 305 Teacher Class
Assignment record. This rule is enforced by a fatal edit.

Same on the 305 Teacher Class Assignment Record.

01 - College Campus Based Course - College course
(usually a dual credit course) is taught either on a college
campus or a high school campus by an instructor not
employed by the LEA. College courses taught on a high
school campus by a LEA teacher with college credentials
cannot be coded with NON-CAMPUS-BASEDINSTRUCTION-CODE 01.

02 - Electronic/Internet/Correspondence Based Course –
Any course that is taught not using an actual teacher
(ROLE-ID 087 or 047) in the classroom where the
student(s) meet for the class. Examples include internet
delivered curriculum, academic instructional software
programs, video instruction (live or recorded), online
courses, etc…

03 - Non-District Teacher Providing Classroom Instruction
Services – This course is taught by a teacher that is
employed by another school district/charter. The “classroom”
could be at any suitable location. Do not use this code for
reporting college instructors.

04 – Texas Virtual School Network (TxVSN) Online Schools
program (OLS) (Formerly Electronic Course Program (eCP))
– This is a full-time virtual program available only to eligible
students in grade levels 3 - 12 who are enrolled in an eligible
LEA participating in the program. Only 3 campuses

More Information in Handbook Section 11.9 Texas Virtual
School Network (TxVSN)




The following three local education agencies (LEAs) meet
this requirement:
1) Houston Independent School District (ISD): Texas
Connections Academy at Houston,
2) Texas College Preparatory Academies: Texas Virtual
Academy, and
3) Texarkana ISD: Texarkana ISD Virtual Academy. These
LEAs will offer a full-time virtual program rather than
instruction in individual content areas. For the 2012–2013
school year, these LEAs will not offer their virtual
programs through the TxVSN course catalog.



05 - Texas Virtual School Network (TxVSN) Statewide Online
Course Catalog – This program provides a supplemental
statewide online course catalog of high school, advanced
placement, and dual credit courses to eligible students in grade
levels 9 - 12 who are enrolled in the LEA. Refer to the Student
Attendance Handbook.
In order for a school to receive state funding for students
enrolled in courses offered through the TxVSN statewide
course catalog, all TxVSN Statewide course catalog course
sections offered to students must be reported with this
code.

byESCRegion.aspx#TOP


06 - Non-Campus Teacher Providing Instruction at
Another District Facility – These courses are taught
in the district at a location that does not have its own
campus number.
An example of this would be when the CTE program
courses are all taught at a central CTE location that is
not eligible for its own campus number. These
teachers are not associated with any other campus in
the LEA.


07 - Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program
(JJAEP) - TEC 37.011 – These courses are always
taught at a JJAEP that has been established in
accordance with TEC 37.011, and are taught by
teachers that are hired or are paid for by the JJAEP.
08 - Credit by Exam – This code reflects those courses
for which a student earned credit through the official
“credit by exam” process.

09 - Out of District DAEP Program – This code reflects
those courses that a student is assigned to while placed
in a DAEP that is physically located in another school
district or charter school. While this code is similar to
the “Non District Teacher “code 03, it is limited to
those instances of a student attending a DAEP that is
physically under the control of another school district
or charter school.


10 - Non-District PE Substitution Program (Limited to
Service IDs PES00008 - PES00011) – The use of this code
is limited to those cases where the LEA has authorized a
student to earn PE credit by participating in a physical
education activity that is not offered by the LEA. These
include such things as gymnastic organizations, etc…
99 – Other - The use of this code is limited to those
situations where no other Non Campus Based Instruction
code listed above applies and the teacher, if applicable, in
the classroom is not employed by or under direct contract to
the LEA. The use of Non Campus Based Instruction Code
99 should be RARE!!!!

For students that are placed in or are expelled to a
DAEP program, or expelled to a JJAEP, the campus
that enrolls the student during these disciplinary
removals is responsible for creating the 300 Course
Section records that reflect the new course sections to
which the student has been assigned while attending a
DAEP or a JJAEP.



For the 305 Teacher Class Assignment record, the only
staff reported are those with ROLE-IDs 087 and 047.
Do not report any staff roles other than 047- Teacher or
047 – Substitute Teacher.
Do not report the substitute teachers as assigned to a
particular course section unless the substitute teacher
has replaced a teacher who died, resigned, or was
terminated.

A “Teacher of Record” is almost always in
the classroom of a particular course section
delivering the class curriculum delivery to
students, and determining the final outcome
for each student in the class.


Each course section must be reported with at least one
“Teacher of Record”. This rule is enforced by a fatal edit.

If the “Teacher of Record” changes during the duration of the
course section, then the “Teacher of Record” will be shown
with an ending date and the new “Teacher of Record” will be
shown in the same course section with a starting date after the
former “Teacher of Record” ended their service for the course
section.

47
Data Reporting Changes
•
305 Teacher Class Assignment Data
Record
If a school reports a teacher for a noncampus based setting, all appropriate
staff data must be reported. (040, 043,
045, 050, and 305)
48

For teaching staff that are assigned to an in-district DAEP
program (not a DAEP campus), the 305 Teacher
Assignment records should identify the teachers serving as
either a “teacher of record”, “assistant teacher”, or
“support teacher”.

If the teaching staff in charge of the DAEP classrooms are
merely serving as a “facilitator” for the home campus
“teacher(s) of record” of the students that are assigned to
the DAEP, then the DAEP facilitators should not be
reported with a 305 Teacher Class Assignment record.


For homebound teachers serving homebound students on a
short-term basis (less than a full grading period/semester),
the homebound students served should remain assigned to
the course section (teacher of record) they were assigned
prior to moving into the homebound setting.
For homebound teachers serving homebound students on a
long-term basis (full grading periods/semesters/school
year), the LEA should determine the “teacher of record”
based on the definition of “teacher of record” (CLASSROLE “01”) from PEIMS code table C180.
Data Reporting Changes
If a LEA school offers a “Non-Campus Based Instruction” career and
technical education opportunity for its students, and the LEA is required to report a
“Teacher of Record” per requirements documented in the Student Attendance
Accounting Handbook, then the LEA must enter into either a contractual relationship or
develop a “memorandum of understanding” with the entity providing
the educational instruction
 to obtain the minimum staff identification and demographic
information required on the 040 Staff Identification, 043 Staff
Demographic, and 050 Staff Employment PEIMS records.
 Failure to obtain and report this required staff information may result
in a loss of state funding.

2. Your district must report a teacher of record for each
CTE course, except for a dual credit course
taught in a non-campus-based setting, such as
a community or technical college. The teacher of
record reported through the Public Education Information
Management System (PEIMS) must be the teacher in the
classroom responsible for teaching and learning, grades,
attendance, etc.


dual credit class taught in a non-campusbased setting is optional.

1.2 Taking and Recording Student Attendance
District personnel must create the original documentation of
attendance at the time of attendance. Original documentation
may not be created after the fact. Original documentation that
is not created at the time of attendance will not be accepted by
agency auditors. If auditors determine that original
documentation was not created at the time of the attendance it
is intended to support, the TEA will retain 100% of your
district's FSP allotment for the inappropriately documented
attendance for the school year(s) for which records have been
requested. The TEA will either assess an adjustment to
subsequent allocations of state funds or require your district to
refund the total amount of the adjustment when the audit is
finalized.
