EIS Changes 2014-15
 Withdrawal Codes
– We changed the description on code 12 for students
that graduate in less than 4 years.
– We added code 16 - a special education student, who
has been awarded a completion document, and is
entitled to continue their education due to Free
Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) requirement.
This withdrawal is only to be used when the student
is withdrawing permanently; it is not to be used to
indicate the end of year action when a student is
returning the next school year.
