Students who turn 21 during a school year should be reported in the SIRS. If students attend summer school immediately following the school year in which they turn 21, they should be reported in SIRS. Records for these students should not be reported in the SIRS after they complete this school year or summer school term.
Students with Disabilities
Each public school district must report special education records as well as demographic, enrollment, program service, and special education snapshot records for all students for whom they have CSE or CSPE responsibility. Each public school district has CSE responsibility for students with disabilities parentally placed in nonpublic schools located within their district and for providing special-education services to those students. Districts must submit all required special-education records for these students.
Every institution with CSE or CPSE responsibility for preschool or school-age children must report special-education records for those children regardless of where they attend school or receive services.
Reporting responsibility for students with disabilities in specific scenarios can be found in the “Table of Reporting Responsibility for School-Age Students” and the “Table of Reporting Responsibility for Preschool-Age and Prekindergarten Students” sections above. Reporting requirements for students with disabilities are available at the “PD Data System” link at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/sedcar/.
All students classified as disabled in the current school year must have a disability type record, identifying the student’s particular disability. All students identified as disabled at any time during the school year will be included in the students with disabilities group for reporting purposes. See “Type of Disability” in “Program Service Codes and Descriptions” in Chapter 5: Codes and Descriptions.
Enrollment Record for Student with Disabilities (Special Guidance)
-
Public school districts that have CSE or CPSE only responsibility must use Reason for Beginning Enrollment Codes 5905 and 4034 and Reason for Ending Enrollment Codes 8305 and 140, respectively, exclusively for students with disabilities or students who are referred to the CSE or CPSE for determination of eligibility for special-education services. For more information, see Chapter 5: Codes and Descriptions.
Preschool and school-age students with disabilities must be reported using the following BEDS codes as Location Codes (or Building Enrollment Codes):
-
Report preschool children with disabilities who are enrolled in Pre-K or UPK programs with the BEDS code of the building in which the program is operated. Report preschool children enrolled in a UPK program operated by entities other than the school district or a BOCES with the first eight digits of the district BEDS followed by “0666” as the last four digits.
-
Report preschool children with disabilities who are not enrolled in Pre-K or UPK programs with the BEDS code of the coordinating special-education provider (if more than one provider is involved) or the sole special-education service provider (if only one provider is involved). Only BEDS codes of approved special-education service providers may be used. If the student is not receiving special-education services from employees of an approved special-education service provider, use the code of the county that is providing the service by contracting with an independent service provider.
-
Report school-age students with disabilities with the BEDS code of the building in which the students are enrolled for the majority of the school day.
-
Report students with disabilities enrolled in BOCES-operated education programs with the BEDS code of the BOCES, not the BEDS code of the building in which the BOCES program is located.
-
Report students with disabilities who are placed by the district in a public school outside their district of residence and students who are placed by the district in a BOCES program in or outside of their district of residence with the BEDS code of the district of residence for the District of Responsibility BEDS Code. Students who are placed in a public school outside their district of residence must be reported using the BEDS code of the school where the student is enrolled in the location field (i.e., under the data element Building of Enrollment BEDS Code).

Summer School Students
Since the school year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30, summer school records are reported with the records for the school year beginning in September following summer school. If the student will be continuing enrollment in the fall in the same district that provided the summer school program, the student’s enrollment record for the school year should begin on July 1. If the summer program is provided by the district in which the student was enrolled the previous year, but the student will enroll in a different district or charter school in the fall, the first district should provide an enrollment record with beginning date July 1 with the appropriate Reason for Ending Enrollment Code and the date that summer school ended. The school providing summer school services can differ from the school a student attends during the regular school year. Do not end a student’s enrollment record in the school the student attends during the regular school year if the student is attending only summer school in a different school.
All students participating in summer school programs must be reported with a Program Service Code for summer school participation. This code is applicable to all programs — including elementary, middle, and secondary — without regard to how the program is funded. Use the following to determine the BEDS code to use when reporting these students:
-
When the service provider is the district accountable for the student's performance and the building the service is provided in is known, use the BEDS code of the building where the student receives the service;
-
When the service provider is the district accountable for the student's performance and the building the service is provided in is not known, use the BEDS code of the district where the student receives the service;
-
When the service provider is an out-of-district placement (other than a public school district) and is not the district accountable for the student's performance, and the building the service is provided in is known, use the BEDS code of the building where the student receives the service;
-
When the service provider is an out-of-district placement (other than a public school district) and is not the district accountable for the student's performance, and the building the service is provided in is not known, use the BEDS code of the out-of-district placement where the student receives the service;
-
When the service provider is a BOCES, use the BEDS code of the BOCES (without regard to the specific location at which the service is provided); and
-
When the service provider is a public school district other than the district accountable for the student’s performance, use the BEDS code of the other district.
-
When the service provider is a public school district and a charter school has accountability for the student’s performance, use the BEDS code of the district building where the student receives the service.
All courses taken by students during the regular school year must be reported through the Student Class Grade Detail Record. For courses taken during summer school, a Student Class Grade Detail Record must be reported only for those students who take a course to make up incomplete or failed course credit through CR Part 100.5(d)(8) and those who earn graduation credit or a final grade that needs to go on their transcript. For students who are making up incomplete or failed course credit at any time, a Student Class Grade Detail Record must be reported and the Credit Recovery Code field on the record must be identified as "yes." No Staff Student Course records need to be reported for summer school.
