What is College Tech Prep?

College Tech Prep
“In spite of increasing need at the associate degree
level, instructional programs throughout the nation
(and) state…struggle to produce enough graduates
to meet the needs of business and industry. It
seems that high school students are not fully
aware of the excellent opportunities available
through technical careers.”
Dr. Robert D. Krienke
President, Lamar Institute of Technology

PEIMS is…
A common method for school districts
to report data to TEA, including:
• ADA (Average Daily Attendance - state funding for attendance)
• CATE course enrollment (state weighted
funding - 1.35)
• Participation in career/technology
courses (federal Perkins funding)
and PEIMS impacts funding.
www.atctexas.org
PEIMS Codes
PEIMS codes are used in CATE for:
Reporting CATE course enrollments
(course abbreviations and 8-digit service ID numbers)
• ATC course abbreviations end in –TP: BCIS1-TP
• ATC course numbers include a T:
1201120T
Reporting students participating in CATE
PEIMS student codes: 0, 1, 2, and 3
www.atctexas.org
PEIMS Codes
Code 0
Not in a CATE course in October
Code 1
Enrolled in a CATE in October, but no
intent to follow a technical course
sequence
www.atctexas.org
PEIMS Codes
Code 2
Participating in a coherent sequence
of technical courses
Code 3
Participating in a coherent sequence of
technical courses (Tech Prep Student)
www.atctexas.org
PEIMS Codes
Impact on federal funding:
• 5% of Perkins funds – based on a district’s
percentage of the total CATE participants
statewide (codes 1, 2, & 3).
• An additional 5% of Perkins funds –
based on the number of students participating
in coherent sequences of CATE courses,
including those participating in Tech Prep
programs (codes 2 & 3).
