Appeal to Graduate with Lower Score on Regents ExamBeginning with students entering grade 9 in 2005, all students who have taken and passed certain courses in preparation to take a Regents examination and have a 65 course average but whose highest score on the Regents examination is below but within three points of the 65 passing score may appeal to graduate with a local or Regents diploma using this lower score. Through this appeal, the student seeks a waiver of the graduation assessment requirement in this subject area. The appeal form is available at www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/gradreq/RevisedAppealForm2015.pdf. Schools must send a copy of this form to the Office of State Assessment at 775 EBA, New York State Education Department, 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12234 and another copy to the Office of Information and Reporting Services at 865 EBA, New York State Education Department, 89 Washington Avenue, Albany, NY 12234. In addition, students who are identified as English language learners pursuant to Part 154 Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, and who first entered school in the United States in grade 9 or above, may appeal to graduate with a local diploma if they have taken the required Regents examination in English language arts at least twice and earned a score on this exam between 55 and 61. Approval of this appeal will not change the student’s score on the Regents examination under appeal. The district must report the actual scored earned on the Regents examination, not a 65, through SIRS. In the fall, the district will also need to report the information from this appeal on the district’s BEDS form at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/beds.
Schools serving grade 3 students who come from feeder schools within the district are required to identify the feeder schools on the students’ grade 3 SIRS records only when the students were continuously enrolled in the highest grade served by the feeder schools. For example, a school must identify the feeder school for a grade 3 student who was enrolled as a grade 2 student in a K–2 school from BEDS day until the end of the school year in which they exited the building. The performance of this student on the grade 3 assessments in ELA and math will be part of the Performance Index and Adequate Yearly Progress determinations for the feeder school in these subjects. Career and Technical Education (CTE) StudentsCTE Programs: Located in high schools and BOCES, Career and Technical Education programming provides academic and technical instruction in the content areas of agriculture, business and marketing, family and consumer sciences, health sciences, trade and technical education, and/or technology education. CTE programs are comprised of at least three CTE courses (equivalent to three full years of study) that together form a cohesive concentration and incorporate the Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Learning Standards. CTE programs also include the content of the one unit state-developed Career and Financial Management course. (For a full list of CTE program service codes, see Career and Technical Education Program Service Codes in Chapter 5: Codes and Descriptions.) CTE Students: CTE students are those enrolled in any course that can be a part of a CTE content area (i.e., agriculture, business and marketing, family and consumer sciences, health sciences, trade and technical education, and/or technology education). This includes students who are substituting a five-unit CTE sequence to fulfill the foreign language requirement for an advanced designation diploma and are enrolled in: a local high school, a BOCES or technical/CTE high school, an alternative education and a CTE program, an approved High School Equivalency (HSE) program (AHSEPP) and a CTE program, or a CTE program in a nonpublic school that participates in data reporting via the SIRS. Who Must Report CTE Students: The school district accountable for the student is responsible for reporting CTE data in SIRS for the student, even if the district’s students receive CTE at another program service provider (e.g., a BOCES). The agency that delivers the CTE course is the service provider. A school district offering CTE to its own students creates and maintains the CTE program service records and is the service provider. A school district that sends students to a BOCES for CTE creates and maintains the CTE program service records, which will document that the BOCES is the program service provider. Consequently, school districts report on all CTE students (i.e., those served in their own high schools as well as those sent to BOCES or other out-of-district providers, including another school district). Teacher-course linkage data must be reported by the service provider who employs the teacher or principal. The CTE data collected in SIRS are governed by federal mandates, as some CTE programming receives federal funding from the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 (Perkins). CTE reporting requirements are the same for all schools, whether or not they use Perkins funding directly. Which Students Must Be Reported with CTE Records: Students who participate in any career and technical education who are also in a high school diploma-granting program or an approved High School Equivalency (HSE) program (i.e., AHSEPP) must be reported with a CTE program service record, which tracks CTE Program Type, CTE Program Intensity, Service Provider Location, courses taken by the student, and teacher linkage information: whether or not the CTE are federally funded, whether or not the CTE courses have been approved to allow the issuance of a Technical Endorsement, whether the CTE is offered by an LEA or BOCES. Program Service Records: All students taking CTE have a CTE program service record created in the school year they first start CTE. A student cannot have program service records without an active enrollment record. Students generally take their CTE from one or two providers (i.e., their high school and/or BOCES). A single program service record is created if the student is taking CTE in a single location. If more than one content area is taken, create one record and use the program service code that describes where the student spends the most time. CTE students enrolled in more than one location during the school year must be reported with a separate record for each program location. For example, two program service records are required for a student enrolled in business education in a high school and in computer information technology at a BOCES. CTE programs at local high schools often cross content areas and may not be predefined or linear in nature. In the local high schools, programs are made up of a group of courses that form a cohesive concentration. These courses may be from one of the six CTE content areas or from a combination of these content areas. Since CTE students at local high schools build cohesive concentrations based on individual interests, the selection of a specific program service code (see Career and Technical Education Program Service Codes in Chapter 5: Codes and Descriptions) may prove more difficult than the selection of a code for CTE programs at a BOCES or Technical or CTE high schools. In this case, the local high school can use one of the following more broad-based program service codes: Agriculture (010599); Business and Marketing (529999); Family and Consumer Sciences (199999); Health Sciences (519999); Technology Education (151599); or Trade and Technical (489999). These reflect the six major CTE content areas. If a student is in career and technical education in two of these content areas, the code to be reported should be the one in which the majority of the student’s time is spent. When a local agency is unable to determine the appropriate code, they should contact their Regional Information Center (RIC). A list of RIC contacts is available at http://www.p12.nysed.gov/irs/sirs/home.html. The RIC can contact the NYSED CTE Team at (518) 486-1547 or emsccte@nysed.gov for assistance. CTE Beginning and Ending Program Service Records: If the student meets the district’s requirements for completing the program, use Reason for Ending Program Service code 646. If the student ends the program service without completing the program the year the student leaves or completes high school, use Reason for Ending Program Service code 663. If the student has not completed the CTE program by the end of the reporting year and program completion is still pending, use Reason for Ending Program Service code 680. In the year the student leaves school, the entire enrollment record will show which Reason for Ending Program Service Code should be used in the final record. Districts determine how many and what combination of sequenced CTE courses are needed to achieve program completion. If the student’s concentration of CTE courses does not meet the district’s requirements, the Reason for Ending Program Service Code is 663 (left without completing), and the Level of Program Intensity is the level reached by the day the student discontinued the program. CTE Program Type: All students who participate in a CTE must be reported in SIRS with CTE Program Type “CTE,” indicating the student is in career and technical education. See Chapter 4: Data Elements for CTE Program Type definition and location in the eScholar templates. CTE Program Intensity: All students who participate in CTE must be reported in SIRS with a CTE Program Intensity: Enrollee, Participant, or Concentrator. See Chapter 4: Data Elements for CTE Program Intensity definition and location in the eScholar templates. CTE Program Endorsement Indicator: A CTE Program Endorsement Indicator must also be reported in Programs Code Template, a Dimension Table populated by Level 1 operators, not by the reporting local educational agency. The endorsement indicator field tracks whether or not the specific program has been approved by NYSED to allow the issuance of a technical endorsement on the student’s high school diploma. Completion of the “New York State Regents CTE Approval Process” by individual CTE programs allows a school district to issue a Technical Endorsement on a student’s high school diploma when that student successfully completes all the requirements of the approved program. For more information about the approval process, see www.p12.nysed.gov/cte/ctepolicy/. A list of programs that hold current NYSED approval to issue technical endorsements can be found at: http://www.p12.nysed.gov/cte/ctepolicy/approved.html. For more information on CTE, see http://www.p12.nysed.gov/cte/home.html. Charter School StudentsCharter schools must report all required records for their students, with the following exceptions. The district of residence of students with disabilities enrolled in charter schools has CSE responsibility for these students and must report Special Education Snapshot and Special Education Events records for them. School districts of residence must also submit enrollment, demographic, and disability program service records for students in charter schools who were evaluated for special-education eligibility and for students receiving special-education services, using Reason for Beginning Enrollment Code 5905. Court-placed StudentsCourt-placed students should be reported with the appropriate Reason for Ending Enrollment Code from the tables below.

Reason for Ending Enrollment Codes for Students Placed by Court Order INSIDE the District
General-education students and students with disabilities in county or New York City jails who are in regular instruction programs offering courses that can result in the earning of credit toward a high school diploma must be reported by the school district in which the jail is located, using Reason for Beginning Enrollment Code 0011 — Enrollment in building or grade, and the BEDS code of the jail as the building of enrollment. General-education students and students with disabilities in county or New York City jails who are in approved AHSEP programs must be reported with a Reason for Beginning Enrollment Code 5654 — Enrollment in a AHSEP program and the BEDS code of the approved program, and these students will not be counted as graduates. School districts must coordinate with court-placement agencies to ensure that students are enrolled appropriately and educational records are shared. Educational and reporting responsibility for these students is determined by Commissioner’s Regulations. For further information, contact the Office of Student Support Services at (518) 486-6090. Daily AttendanceLEAs may report multiple Daily Attendance codes on a single day. Both a suspension and an absence/tardy may be reported on the same day. Although local data systems may collect suspension and attendance information in different places, SED’s data collection model requires both to be reported through the Student Daily Attendance template. Attendance must be reported by any reporting entity that is required to take attendance, including the home school district (i.e., District of Residence). District of Residence CodesAll students must be reported with a District of Residence code. (See Chapter 5: Codes and Descriptions.) This code is collected to ensure that State aid for textbooks and transportation is appropriately allocated to a student’s home district (i.e., District of Residence). The initial District of Residence code that should be reported for a student is the one that indicates where the student resided on BEDS day 2015 (October 7, 2015). If a student moves to and enrolls in a new district subsequent to BEDS day 2015, the student should be reported by the new district with the District of Residence code for that new district. For State aid and BEDS enrollment purposes, the student will always be counted in the district in which the student resided on BEDS day of that reporting year. For example, if a student resides in District A on October 7, 2015, moves to District B on October 8, 2015, and remains in District B through the 2015–16 and 2016–17 school year, the student will be counted for State aid and BEDS enrollment purposes in District A in 2015–16 but in District B in 2016–17. The Department uses District of Residence data from SIRS to derive the number of students enrolled who are not residents of your district and for whom tuition is or could be charged. Special Cases: Article 81 students should be reported with a District of Residence code reflecting the public school district in which the child was living at the time a public agency considered the child for placement in a child care institution or at the time the child was placed with the Division for Youth. Central High School districts may not be used as a District of Residence. The District of Residence code for a student enrolled in a Central High School district is that of one of the Central High School district’s designated feeder districts or other public school district, as appropriate. For example, students enrolled in the Valley Stream Central High School District should be reported as residents of Valley Stream #13 UFSD, Valley Stream #24 UFSD, Valley Stream #30 UFSD, or other district as appropriate. Charter school, nonpublic school, and BOCES students should be reported with a District of Residence code reflecting the public school district in which they live and that they are entitled to attend. Students in county jails should be reported by the district in which the county jail is located with a District of Residence that reflects the district in which the student was residing immediately before coming to the county jail. Foreign-exchange students should be reported with a District of Residence reflecting the district in which the students are enrolled. Foster children should be reported with a District of Residence that reflects the residence of the foster family. Students designated as homeless should be reported with a District of Residence reflecting the district of attendance (i.e., the district where the student is enrolled in school). The District of Residence code for New York City students is that of the Community School District in which they reside (e.g., Manhattan CSD 3, Brooklyn CSD 23, etc.). All non-residents of New York State, excluding Foreign Exchange students who are considered temporary residents, should show 80034366 for District of Residence. Special Act school districts may not be used as a District of Residence. The District of Residence code for a student enrolled in a Special Act school district is that of the sending district or, if the student is placed by the court, the district last attended by the student. State-operated schools and facilities should report a District of Residence that reflects the district in which the student was residing immediately before coming to the State-operated school or facility. Where there is insufficient knowledge to make this determination, the reported District of Residence should reflect the district in which the state-operated school or facility is located. Districts that have a terminal grade of less than twelve retain their District of Residence status when their resident students tuition out to a K–12 district to finish their high school education. For example, the District of Residence code for a student who completed eighth grade in a K–8 district and is now enrolled in grade 9 in a K–12 district is that of the K–8 district. A student who completed the eighth grade in the Greenwood Lake UFSD (a K-8 district), and is now attending the George F. Baker High School in the Tuxedo UFSD, should be reported as a resident of Greenwood Lake, unless the student has actually taken up residence elsewhere.
