exception to achieve the Recognized rating.
 The
Exceptions Provision will be examined by the
accountability advisory groups in spring 2009 to determine
whether modifications are needed for the 2009 ratings.

16
School Leaver Provision in 2009
 This provision will no longer apply in 2009 and may be the
cause for lower district and campus ratings for:




Completion Rate I
Annual Dropout Rate (Gr. 7-8) (Standard Procedures)
Completion Rate II
Underreported students
 Based on final decisions released in April 2008, this
provision will apply to the Annual Dropout Rate
(Gr. 7-12) indicator under AEA Procedures, but will be
reviewed in spring 2009 by the advisory groups.
17
School Leaver Provision in 2009
(cont.)
 Districts that used the School Leaver Provision need to
pay special attention to the quality of leaver data that will
be submitted in fall 2008. This information will be the
basis for dropout and completer indicators used in 2009
ratings.
18
TAT and the School Leaver Provision
 Campuses that avoid being rated Academically
Unacceptable in 2008 due to the application of the School
Leaver Provision will be subject to technical assistance
team (TAT) intervention requirements in the 2008-09
school year.
 This is because campuses rated Academically Acceptable
in 2008 are identified for technical assistance teams
(TATs) if their 2008 accountability results do not meet the
2009 accountability standards.
19
Processing of Completion Rate
 The Division of Accountability Research has prepared
the attached summary of the completion rate processing
for the Class of 2008.

Completion Rate II
 In spring 2009, the accountability advisory groups will

30
2009 AEA Campus Registration Process
 In 2009, the AEA campus registration process will be
conducted online using the Texas Education Agency
Secure Environment (TEASE) Accountability website.
 The 2008-09 AEA campus registration process opens
September 10, 2008.
 An email notification will be sent to all superintendents
stating that alternative education campuses (AECs) rated
under 2008 AEA procedures will be re-registered
automatically in 2009 subject to the 75% at-risk
registration criterion.
31
2009 AEA Campus Registration Process
(cont.)
 AECs wishing to rescind AEA registration must complete
an electronic 2008-09 AEA Campus Rescission Form.
 AECs requesting AEA registration must complete an
electronic 2008-09 AEA Campus Registration Form.
 AECs for which 2008 AEA registration was rescinded due
to not meeting the at-risk registration criterion must submit
an electronic 2008-09 AEA Campus Registration Form if
the AEC wishes to request AEA campus registration in
2009.
 AEA rescission and registration forms submitted via
TEASE Accountability must be printed and maintained
locally as official documentation of AEA campus
registration requests.
32
2009 AEA Campus Registration Process
(cont.)
 The 2008-09 AEA registration process closes
September 24, 2008, at 1:00 p.m. C.D.T.
 AEA rescissions and registrations will not be processed
after this time.
 When finalized, the list of 2009 Registered AECs will be
available on the AEA website at:
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/aea.
33
AEA At-Risk Registration Criterion
 Each registered AEC must have a minimum percentage of
at-risk students enrolled on the AEC verified through
current-year PEIMS fall enrollment data in order to be
evaluated under AEA procedures and receive an AEA
rating. Two safeguards have been incorporated for those
AECs that are below the at-risk requirement.
1.
Prior-Year PEIMS At-Risk Data Safeguard: If a registered AEC
does not meet the at-risk criterion in 2009, then it remains under
AEA if the AEC had at least 75% at-risk enrollment in 2008.
2.
New Campus Safeguard: If a new campus is registered for
evaluation under AEA procedures, then the AEC is not required to
meet the at-risk criterion in its first year of operation. This
safeguard provides an accommodation for new campuses with no
prior-year data.
34
AEA At-Risk Registration Criterion (cont.)
 The AEA at-risk registration criterion was 65% in 2006,
70% in 2007, and 75% in 2008 and beyond.
 AEA registration is rescinded for AECs that do not meet
the at-risk registration criterion or utilize the safeguards.
As a result, the AECs are evaluated under standard
accountability procedures.
 Below is a history of the number of campuses not meeting
the at-risk registration criterion that were shifted to
standard accountability procedures. Rescinding AEA
registration also impacts the number of charters evaluated
under AEA.



2006 – 17 AECs and 8 charters
2007 – 24 AECs and 12 charters
2008 – 17 AECs and 5 charters
35
AEA At-Risk Registration Criterion (cont.)
 The PEIMS Edit+ reports below may be helpful when
analyzing at-risk student enrollment data. These reports
may be run at the district and campus levels.



PRF5D003 – Student Roster. Lists all students enrolled by
grade. The ‘AT RS’ column indicates whether a student is at-risk.
PRF5D018 – At-Risk Students by Sex, Ethnicity, and Grade.
One-page report of at-risk students by sex, ethnicity, and grade.
PRF5D025 – At-Risk Roster by Grade. Lists at-risk students by
grade. Other student demographics are included on this report.
