CHANGES to Student, Programs Fact, and Assessment Fact templates for 2007-08

Student Demographic Template

Homeless Primary Nighttime Residence:
Description:  This indicates where students identified as homeless, under the Homeless Indicator, have their primary nighttime residence (PNR). (see SIRS Policy Manual - Appendix J for definitions.)
Guidelines:  Only students as identified as homeless under the data element "Homeless Indicator" should have this data element populated.  The LEA's homeless liaison determines the PNR at the time the student is identified as homeless.  The point at which a student is identified as homeless and is counted as such by the LEA as such is also the point in time to make a corresponding determination of the PNR.  The USDOE realizes that a homeless family, or youth may be mobile during their homelessness.  As long as there is a one-to-one correspondence between a student identified as homeless and an identified PNR, an LEA may use the PNR at point of notice (if known), or soon thereafter if unknown at time of enrollment.
Length:  1    Data Type:  Alphanumeric
Content Rules (Codes):  For this element, these codes must be used.  These codes are used at Levels 2 and 3 of the Statewide Data Warehouse.

CTE/Tech Prep

A new Program Service "Single Parent or Pregnant Status" has been added.  This is found in the "Career and Technical Education" group and is applicable only to students participating in a CTE/Tech Prep program service.

Single Parent or Pregnant Status - Code 8261.
Level Designation:  Designated as a district-level service.
Description:  This program service is only applicable to students that have a Career Technical Education/Tech Prep Career Pathways (CTE/TPCP) program service and have reached the "Concentrator" level of participation.  This program service indicates the student is a single parent or is pregnant.
Purpose:  This code is used to identify these students for federal reporting purposes.  This status (ie, single parent or pregnant) is as of any time during the school year.  This is to allow a student to be counted no matter when in a school year they may become a CTE/TPCP concentrator.  The point at which a student is identified as a CTE/TPCP concentrator and is counted as such by the district is also the point in time to make a corresponding determination of single parent or pregnant status.  Districts should determine this status at the same point in time that the district counts the student as a CTE/TPCP concentrator.
Entry Date:  Date the student is identified as a single parent or as pregnant.
Exit Date:  Date that student no longer meets these parameters.
Reason for Ending Code:  Not used.
