The following updates are available:

• Summary
  • The TSDS Interchanges for the SELA Collection are now available.
  • In the UI, when new SELA Special Program records are created, existing values in the fields are now rolled forward into the new record if the student had a prior SELA record.
  • The SELA collection reports data on the language acquisition services of children eight years of age or younger as of September 1 who are deaf or hard of hearing, and who have been identified with PEIMS Disability Codes (03) Auditory Impairment and/or (05) Deaf-Blind.
  • When generating the SELA interchanges, set the Collection Code to the “TSDS – SELA” option.
• SELA Record Selection Criteria
  • EdOrg Interchange: All schools not flagged as excluded from state reporting are included.
  • Student-Parent and Student Program Interchanges
    • All students with a SELA Special Program record dated in the current year are included as long as the student or the student’s school of enrollment is not flagged as excluded from PEIMS or state reporting.
    • Note that any student with a SELA record must also have an overlapping SPED Special Program record with a disability code of (03) Auditory Impairment or (05) Deaf-Blind, or TEA errors will be generated. When no corresponding SPED record exists, blank values are output for the required Disability element in the Student-Parent Interchange and for the required Instructional Setting element in the Student Program Interchange.
• Interchange Output
  • EdOrg Interchange: basic LEA Extension and School Extension records are included with the State Organization IDs. No other elements are reported.
  • Student-Parent Interchange

    • The Disabilities complex type reports the Effective Date and Disability, which is limited to Deaf-Blindness (Deaf-Blind) and/or Hearing/Auditory Impairment (Auditory Impairment). The TSDS output does not distinguish between Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary Disability.
  • Student Program Interchange
    • A single StudentSpecialEdProgramAssociationExtension record is reported for each student based on the most recent SELA special program record in effect at runtime.
    • Program Type (E1337) defaults to Special Education in all records.
    • Instructional Setting (E0173) is extracted from the student’s SPED special program record with dates that overlap the SELA special program record dates.

TX Interchange Staff Association: Version 1.0.40
Staff Responsibility Report and Record Creation: Version 1.0.7

The following updates are available:

• Records Excluded Based on Non-Campus Based Instruction Code
  • Updated Staff Responsibility record selection criteria now exclude scheduled classes based on the specific E1072 Non-Campus Based Instruction codes entered in Sections (if exists) or Courses (default).
  • Records are now excluded if the Non-Campus Based Instruction code is any value except blank, 00, or 06. Records continue to be extracted for code (06) Non-Campus Teacher Providing Instruction at Another District Facility.
• Updated Output for Special Education Classes
  • The logic for the output of the Grade Level of the students in the class when the Population Served Code is (06) Special Education Students is updated per the final TEA requirements.
  • The students are separated into two grade-level groups:
    • One group covers students in grades EE-PK (grades -1 and below).
    • One group covers students in grades KG-12 (grades 0-12).
  • If a class contains only students in a single grade level group EE-PK or KG-12, a single record is output, and the grade level will be that of students with the highest grade level in the class.
  • If a class contains some students in grades EE-PK, and other students in grades KG-12, two records for the same class are output, and the normal monthly minutes value is divided in half.
