The LEA must provide the Texas Education Agency (TEA) with information relating to the performance of children with disabilities participating in programs carried out under Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in order for TEA to carry out its duties.
The TEA provides for the collection and examination of data through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) to determine if significant disproportionality based on race and ethnicity is occurring in the State and the LEAs of the State with respect to:
In the case of a determination of significant disproportionality with respect to the identification of children as children with disabilities, or the placement in particular educational settings of such children, the State requires the LEA to publicly report on the revision of policies, practices, and procedures.
The LEA must provide data each year through PEIMS to the TEA who, in turn, reports to the Secretary of Education and the public the number and percentage of children with disabilities:
The LEA must provide data each year through PEIMS to the TEA who, in turn, reports to the Secretary of Education and the public the number and percentage of children with disabilities:
The LEA must provide data each year through PEIMS to the TEA who, in turn, reports to the Secretary of Education and the public the number and percentage of children with disabilities:
For each year of age from age 14-21, stopped receiving special education and related services because of program completion (including graduation with a regular secondary school diploma), or other reasons, and the reasons why those children stopped receiving special education and related services.
The LEA must maintain in its records and provide to the TEA the number of parentally-placed private school children evaluated, the number of parentally-placed private school children determined to be children with disabilities, and the number of parentally-placed private school children served.
The TEA (or, in the case of a districtwide assessment, the LEA) must make available to the public, and report to the public with the same frequency and in the same detail as it reports on the assessment of nondisabled children, the following:
The number of children with disabilities participating in regular assessments, and the number of those children who were provided accommodations in order to participate in those assessments;
The number of children with disabilities participating in alternate assessments aligned to alternate achievement standards (i.e., below enrolled grade level); and
The performance of children with disabilities on regular assessments and on alternate assessments (if statistically reliable information does not reveal personally identifiable information about an individual child), compared with the achievement of all children, including children with disabilities, on those assessments.
The LEA must provide data each year through PEIMS to the TEA who, in turn, reports to the Secretary of Education and the public the number and percentage of children with disabilities:
The number and percentage of children with disabilities who are removed to alternative educational settings or expelled compared to children without disabilities who are removed to alternative educational settings or expelled.
The State may require that the LEA include in the records of a child with a disability a statement of any current or previous disciplinary action that has been taken against the child and transmit such statement to the same extent that such disciplinary information is included in, and transmitted with, the records of nondisabled children:
The statement may include a description of any behavior engaged in by the child that required disciplinary action, a description of the disciplinary action taken, and any other information that is relevant to the safety of the child and other individuals involved with the child; and
If the State adopts such a policy, and the child transfers from one school to another, the transmission of any of the child's records must include both the child's current IEP and any such statement of current or previous disciplinary action that has been taken against the child.
The LEA must cooperate in the Secretary's efforts under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) to ensure the linkage of records pertaining to migratory children with a disability for the purpose of electronically exchanging, among the States, health and educational information regarding such children.
The TEA will use the payments that would otherwise have been available to the LEA to provide special education and related services directly to children with disabilities residing in the area served by that LEA, if the TEA determines that the LEA has not provided the information needed to establish IDEA eligibility of the LEA.
