Student Participation

Overview

A student's Career and Technical Education (CTE) participation information is displayed in Aeries on the Special Programs page. The data is not typically entered manually on this page; rather the CTE indicator is calculated and provided by the TEA in a CSV file which can be imported into Aeries to populate the Program Type field.
See  Texas - Import CTE Indicator for TREx.

For PEIMS reporting, CTE indicator is not extracted from the Aeries fields; however fields must be set correctly for students designated as:

• Eligible for CTE Transportation
• Single Parent/Single Pregnant Woman 
• Out-of-Workforce Individual

For TREx extracts, the student's CTE indicator is extracted from the PGM.CD and PGM.TY fields. Therefore, the TEA-provided data must be imported into Aeries before the TREx export is created. See  Texas - Import CTE Indicator for TREx.

For attendance accounting, the student's CTE hours are calculated according to course data entered on the Courses and Master Schedule pages and a student's Course Attendance (CAR).

• On Update Code Table, be sure the following exists: 
  • CRS.DC = CTE

Tables ↑

Course Setup ↑

For any CTE course offered at the school, ensure the following are set:

• Navigate to Scheduling Process > Courses (General tab)
  
  • Dept - Select CTE. The code must already exist on Update Code Table (CRS.DC = CTE).
    
    

• Navigate to Scheduling Process > Courses (Other tab)
  
  
  • Service ID - Select the correct service ID for the course, according to the TEA CTE Master Course List. See TEA CTE Master Course Lists with TSDS PEIMS Codes.
  • Population Served - Select 05-Career and Technical Education Students.
  • Class Type  - Select Regular

• Navigate to Scheduling Process > Master Schedule
  
  

  
  

  • CTE V-Code - Type the number of contact hours generated for the course for an attendance reporting period, which is based on average minutes per day a student will attend in a 10-school day period.
    See the TEA Student Attendance Accounting Handbook section 5.5.
    • V1: 45-90 minutes
    • V2: 90-134 minutes
    • V3: 135-180+ minutes
      
      Three contact hours is the maximum a district may claim for a single course.
      Example: A student enrolled in three separate 45-minute CTE courses would be assigned a code of V3 (V1 + V1 + V1 = V3).
      
      
  • Non-Campus Inst - Indicate if the course is not taught by a school district/charter school employee or a contracted teacher, or is taught by a school district/charter school employee or a contracted teacher at a facility other than the campus where the student is enrolled. (PEIMS Element E1072, code table C182)
    
    
  • Population Served, as well as other fields on the page, are automatically populated from the Courses page.
