2020-21 Updates for TREx Version 4.9
|
TREx Extract: Version 1.0.18
TREx Extract by Student Number: Version 1.0.12
The extracts now support TREx version 4.9 for the 2020-21 school year.
-
State Grade Level Override: all logic related to the obsolete state grade level field is removed. Student grade level is now reported solely based on the standard grade level field.
-
New elements are added to the Academic Status complex type:
-
These elements are entered in the Additional Indicators panel on the Graduation Information page and are reported only when a non/blank value exists in the field.
-
If the student's code is 1 (Yes) or P (Prior District), 1 is reported
-
If the student's code is 0, 0 is reported
-
Otherwise, the element is suppressed entirely.
-
Post-Secondary Certification Licensure Earned (TE133 and PEIMS E1640) is also added to the Academic Status complex type and output in the XML as "IBCEarned"
-
These are the same industry certifications as reported in PEIMS and captured on the Performance Acknowledgements tab on the Graduation Information page.
-
If a student earned multiple certifications, each is output as a separate record.
-
If the student did not earn any certifications, the element is suppressed entirely.
-
EOC Assessment records for Substitution Assessments are now reported in the Assessments complex type with a Performance Level code of 6 (S - Substitute Assessment).
-
The "Include EOC Assessment Waivers/Substitutions" parameter offers these options:
-
Include both Waivers and Substitutions
-
Include Waivers Only
-
Include Substitutions Only
-
Do Not Include Waivers or Substitutions
-
Using similar Substitution Assessments logic as implemented for the AAR, EOC assessment records for students with a qualifying score for a substitution assessment are output as described below
-
When reporting substitutions, the TestName is output as SubXXX where XXX = abbreviation for the substitution assessment the student passed such as "SubACT", "SubSAT", "SubAP", SubIB", "SubTSI".
-
Algebra 1: output as TestName = E6, Test Date = Substitution Assessment Date, TestScore = SubXXX, PerformanceLevel = 6
-
Biology: output as TestName = E9, Test Date = Substitution Assessment Date, TestScore = SubXXX, PerformanceLevel = 6
-
English I: output as TestName = EG, Test Date = Substitution Assessment Date, TestScore = SubXXX, PerformanceLevel = 6
-
English II: output as TestName = EH, Test Date = Substitution Assessment Date, TestScore = SubXXX, PerformanceLevel = 6
-
US History: output as TestName = EC, Test Date = Substitution Assessment Date, TestScore = SubXXX, PerformanceLevel =
-
If the student has any EOC Test Score records for the same EOC assessment where the Performance Level = 7 or 1 (Not Met/Unsatisfactory), those records are suppressed and the Substitutions are reported.
-
If the student is also coded for a COVID-19 EOC waiver for the 2019-20 school year, the waiver will be reported instead of the Substitution Assessment.
-
In addition, in EOC records where the Alpha Score does not conform to the expected values, the TREx TestName code will be reported as the standard version of the test.

Manual Entry Stored Grades Verification Report: Validation Mode Updates
|
Manual Entry Stored Grades Verification Report: Version 1.0.5
When you run the report in Validation Mode, two new parameters are now available. The report selection logic is also modified.
-
Collection Code
-
Options for the PEIMS SUMR or EXYR collections are now provided.
-
When running for the PEIMS Extended Year Submission, additional selection criteria specific to Submission 4 are now considered: records must have an Explanation Code of "R" (summer school) and a Dual Credit Indicator of 1.
-
School Year
-
Options to select either the current year or the previous school year are now provided.
-
This new option ensures that the correct records are selected for the specified collection regardless of the current system date. The primary impact is to the Extended Year Submission when the report is typically run after the year-end process and the applicable records belong to the prior school year.

Student Grade Level
-
The logic for the PEIMS Extended Year Submission is updated to account for the elimination of the student State Grade Level Override field. The student selection criteria and output of student grade level is now based solely on the core grade level field. In addition, for ESY SPED records, the Grade Level field in the student ESY record is ignored, and the student's enrollment grade level is reported.
-
Grades 1-12: output as 01-12
-
Grade 0: output as KG
-
Grade -1: output as PK (PK4)
-
Grade -2: output as PK (PK3)

Grade -3 and below: output as EE

College Prep Courses
-
The selection criteria is updated to include students, courses, and transcript records for College Prep classes taken over the summer per the addition made by TEA in July.
-
These records will be extracted from manual entry stored grades records entered in the 2019-20 year with an Explanation Code of R (summer school). Note that these classes do not qualify as Dual Credit, and that indicator should not be set.
-
Ed Org Updates
-
The EdOrg Interchange is updated to remove obsolete elements for the 2019-20 year.
-
Submission 4 now also includes records for Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO's) offered over the summer (ELO Type Code (04) Voluntary Expanded Learning - Summer). If the school did not offer summer ELO's, a default of 0 is output for the Expanded Learning Opportunity Indicator Code.

Student Learning Preferences Page (COVID-19) and Learning Preferences Code Set Page
|
Additional Reference: PSSR-240915
A new Student Learning Preferences page is now available under the State/Province – TX link to capture optional information for local use regarding student learning preferences (instructional models) as requested by the student’s parent/guardian. Additional fields are provided for internet and device access, and to flag students who require paper packets of instructional materials. In addition, a new District Setup page is available to allow districts to customize the Student Learning Preferences code set values available in the dropdown list.
Student records can be manually entered or mass imported into the new S_STU_LEARNINGPREF_C child table using Data Import Manager. To import, begin by exporting the Student DCID and basic identifying fields from the Students table, then add the Student Learning Preferences columns. If a student subsequently needs to change instructional models, enter or import a new record with a new Effective Date.
