LEAs in second or subsequent year of operation under P2 may use student’s base year eligibility data for students still in the district Use income survey to qualify new students enrolled as economic disadvantaged NSLP Provision 2 Program ©2014 Region One Education Service Center

1.All Economic Disadvantaged codes must be updated at the beginning of the school year – an LEA cannot rollover prior year economic disadvantage codes to the current year 2.All students on the Direct Certification (DC) listing are coded as “01” If an LEA was Provision 2 or Traditional and is now CEP ©2014 Region One Education Service Center

3. All Students NOT on DC list must be surveyed: Students not on DC list who qualify as economic disadvantaged, as per income survey are coded “99” Students not on DC list who do not qualify as per income survey are coded “00” Students not on DC list who do not fill out income survey are coded “00” If an LEA was Provision 2 or Traditional and is now CEP – cont. ©2014 Region One Education Service Center

4.Under CEP, an LEA can never roll the economic disadvantaged data over to the following year Every year, the DC list can be used to code students as “01” Every year, a new income survey must be gathered for any student not on the DC list If an LEA was Provision 2 or Traditional and is now CEP – cont. ©2014 Region One Education Service Center

Can a Provision 2 LEA use DC list for students new to the district? Yes - Use code “01” for these students Once students are coded as “01” from DC list, they should remain “01” for the rest of the school year LEAs can use the monthly DC list to code new enrollees at any point during the year Income Survey can be used to code siblings in the household Additional PEIMS Coding Guidance

NOTE: Each student must have documentation on file reflecting the economic disadvantaged code reported in the PEIMS file For the school year: Deadline for gathering the income surveys has been extended until Fall Resubmission (Jan. 2015) The coding can be retro-active to student’s enrollment date Documentation 2014 Region One Education Service Center

NOTE: If you are generating a Pearson (STAAR) pre-code file, LEAs must have this data entered by the date the file is generated or you will have to hand bubble the corrections on the answer sheet LEAs can opt to use TEA’s file generated in December/January (Fall Snapshot data only) Pearson Pre-code File ©2014 Region One Education Service Center

DC list is approximately 60% of enrollment total 50% of enrollment matched the DC list Issues: DC list is from last year (July 2014) Social Security number mismatches Students with State ids DC list includes seniors who graduated May 2014 DC list does not include many PK Stats of Sample District ©2014 Region One Education Service Center
