Exit Codes

Set up these Exit Codes at the district level.

With the new state reporting via DEX, districts can set up entry codes of their choice.

For state reporting, the Reported Value plays a critical role and must have a valid value from the MDE Option Set.

Old State Reporting Rule

If a student drops out of school but returns at a later date, then the school should send a Reentry Code that matches the Dropout Code - not an entry/exit (withdrawal) code. For example, if a student drops out for D08 (Peer pressure) in October and returns in January, then their Reentry code is R08. In summary, send an Entry code to MSIS (E1, E6, R1, etc.) for a student who returns to the school, changes grade levels within the school moves to another school in the district, or for the first regular enrollment of the year, etc. Send a Reentry code to MSIS (R01, R20, etc.) for a student who drops out, but returns to school.
