Training Objectives • Participants will learn about PEIMS Leaver coding, including changes and updates from the Texas Education Agency. • This training also includes information to help schools prepare for a TEA audit or Federal and State Compliance manual records review. 3

Introduction What are Leavers? • Leavers are students served by the district in grades

Introduction What are Leavers? • Leavers are students served by the district in grades 7 -12 during the prior school year and who do not enroll in the district during the school-start window of the current year (from the first day of school through the last Friday in September). TEA requires HISD to submit leaver records for these students. • HISD is not required to report leavers and movers who were in grades EE-6 during the prior school year, unless a student was reported for even 1 day in grades 7 -12 then later reclassified to 6 th grade. Federal and State Compliance 4

Introduction What are Movers? • Movers are students enrolled in grades 7 -12 during

Introduction What are Movers? • Movers are students enrolled in grades 7 -12 during the prior year but who are not enrolled on your campus in the current year during the school start window, due to: • Moved to another Texas PUBLIC School • Moved to another HISD school (local code 88) • Moved to another Texas Public School (local code 80) • HISD Requires verification for code 80 s • Verification may include: Records requests (TREx), PID/PET (establishes local movers), Leaver Information form and other supporting documentation in leaver folder

Dropout (L 98) • Enrolled in grades 7 -12 during the prior year •

Dropout (L 98) • Enrolled in grades 7 -12 during the prior year • Student who: Does not return to a HISD school the following fall within the school start window; or Is attending college for less than 9 credit hours per semester Did not receive a GED certificate by August 31; or Enrolls after the school start window; or TEA is not able to verify a reentry into another TX public school system; or 6

Exclusions from the Dropout and Completion Rate Calculations House Bill (HB) 5, 83 rd

Exclusions from the Dropout and Completion Rate Calculations House Bill (HB) 5, 83 rd Legislative Session, defined certain exclusions that the agency must make when calculating dropout and completion rates for state accreditation and state performance ratings. The exclusions are: • Students previously reported as dropouts, re-enrolls and dropout again. • Students not eligible for state funding; • Court-ordered GEDs, not earned; • Incarcerated as adults in state jails or federal penitentiaries; and • Students whose initial enrollment in U. S. schools was in grades 7 -12 as unschooled refugees and asylees. Federal and State Compliance 7

School Start Window The School Start Window begins on the first instructional day and

School Start Window The School Start Window begins on the first instructional day and ends the last Friday in September. A student must enroll and attend school during the school start window to avoid being counted as a leaver and possible dropout. NOTE • Seniors who have completed course requirements but who have not graduated due to missing portions of the state exit-level assessment, MAY enroll during the school start window with ADA code of zero (0) if the student received a service through HISD. The date of enrollment should reflect the date the student received the service from a professional school staff member. 8

Other Terminology: 10 Person Identification Database (PID) search: PID Enrollment Tracking (PET) process: • A PID search is a tool to locate a student. It’s not proof that the student is attending a Texas Public school. • In situations where no other documentation is available, a search of the PET/PID file may be used to determine if the student might be enrolled in another district or charter school in Texas. • There should be a follow-up call to the district / charter indicated by the PET/PID search. Written documentation of the phone call would be the audit documentation. • Designed as an extension to PID. Offers an efficient way to dynamically track public school student enrollments and withdrawals. • PEIMS, not PET, is the official data submission for determining a subsequent student enrollment in another Texas public or charter school. • Districts will be sending PET files to TEA on a weekly basis, beginning the third week after school begins. • Campuses must check and correct PET files weekly for the rest of the year.

Attribution When is a leaver record generated? • A leaver record is generated to PEIMS only from the last HISD school the student attended. • Generally, once a student attends another school, your campus is no longer accountable for him/her. – Special notes/exceptions: Exception if new school is DAEP or JJAEP 12 If he/she was your dropout at the end of the School Start Window, he is still your dropout. Review your Edit+ Campus of Accountability roster (Fall and Summer PEIMS)

Attribution Who is accountable for 8 th grade students who finish the prior school

Attribution Who is accountable for 8 th grade students who finish the prior school year at the middle school, but are no shows at the high school? • 8 th grade students who finish the prior school year (SY) at the middle school, but are no-shows at the high school, are attributed to the middle school. • Middle Schools should have a procedure at the end of the school year to identify students who will attend a different school or will move out of state, in order to obtain appropriate leaver status information before the start of the new year. Who is accountable for 8 th grade students who were promoted during the previous year while in a DAEP or JJAEP? • 8 th grade students who were promoted during the previous year to 9 th grade while in a DAEP or JJAEP, are attributed to the high school. 13

Campus Roles and Responsibilities Schools are responsible for: 18 1 • Submitting current, complete, and accurate leaver data. 2 • Correcting all errors found during the Fall PEIMS submission on or before the due dates set by Federal and State Compliance.

APPENDIX D • Leaver records are not submitted for students who enroll in other

APPENDIX D • Leaver records are not submitted for students who enroll in other Texas public school districts or charters and students who obtain GED certificates at Texas examination sites by August 31. Students who move to other Texas public school districts are considered movers, not leavers. Documentation as described in Appendix D is not required for movers; districts may wish to develop local policy on documentation for movers. The Person Identification Database (PID) Enrollment Tracking (PET) may be used to establish tentative local documentation that students are movers. The final determination of whether students are movers will be made by TEA. 19

APPENDIX D • Changing LEAVER-REASON-CODES Once a district meets the documentation standard that supports

APPENDIX D • Changing LEAVER-REASON-CODES Once a district meets the documentation standard that supports the leaver reason code used, the district is not required to obtain additional information on the student. Local policy will determine if an existing leaver reason code is updated for a student when additional information is received. The policy should be clearly stated in the district's published guidelines on leaver procedures. For example, if a district assigned LEAVER-REASON-CODE 60 student withdrew from/left school for home schooling for a student and later received a request for transcript information from a private school for the same student, the district may change the LEAVER-REASON-CODE to 81 enroll in a Texas private school but is not obligated to. 20

A student listed in the report can be flagged as a Summertime Mover, a Presumed Returned Student, Presumed Leaver, School Year Mover, Prior Texas Graduate, or Texas-GED Recipient. If at least one of these indicators is listed, the student is not presumed under-reported at the point in time the district generates the report. If a student is presumed under-reported (as indicated by an asterisk to the left of the Student ID), none of the indicators is listed at the point in time the district generates the report. The report is grouped by campus and by grade within campus. 42

Timelines for Establishing Leaver Reasons and Obtaining Documentation Students who leave during the school

Timelines for Establishing Leaver Reasons and Obtaining Documentation Students who leave during the school year Leaver reasons apply at the time of withdrawal and documentation should be obtained at that time. 46 Students who fail to return in the fall • Leaver reasons apply on the first day of school or its approximation during the school start window. Documentation to support the leaver code can be obtained at any time up until the resubmission date. • Withdrawal Documentation shall be considered incomplete without a date, signature(s) and destination. • Once a district meets the documentation standard that supports the leaver reason code used, the district is not required to obtain additional information on the student. • Specific Leaver Reason codes have their own documentation requirements (Please see Appendix D)

Documentation 1. Must be received no later than PEIMS resubmission. 2. Must support assigned
