In a TAA letter dated March 4, 2021, TEA announced the addition of 2 new School Day Event Codes for use in the 2020-2021 school year.  Aeries is currently adding these values and expect them to be available to users next week.

Fixed in the 3/12/2021 Update:

• Calendar - New day codes (with legend) were added to Texas schools' Calendar day options:  > symbol = Closed – with TEA approved reason; < symbol = Closed – without TEA approved reason. See Texas - School Day Event Codes.

• Texas State Reporting - The PEIMS Summer EdOrgCalendar  will now check for < or > codes in Calendar day codes and set the TX-SchoolDayCode element with the corresponding 03 or 04 value for "Closed - without TEA approved reason" or "Closed - With TEA approved reason."

We will have documentation to accompany these new codes. The new codes will be additional items in the drop-down on the calendar page on each day. All school day event codes will be able to be cross-referenced to the appropriate PEIMS code from the C208 table on the Code Translations section of the Texas State Reporting page.
