The following entities are included in the Cohort domain but beginning in the 2024-2025 school year, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) will no longer expect to have private prekindergarten information submitted in the ECDS-PK Submission. The Student Cohort domain and all corresponding data elements will be removed.
Entity: StaffCohortAssociation
Entity: StudentCohortAssociation
These entities are only required for private PK schools.
TEA Ed-Fi codes are hard-coded in Aeries and do not need to be mapped.
* An asterisk in the Label & Aeries Table.Field column indicates a code set where local codes can be used. Any local codes used by the district must be mapped to TEA Ed-Fi codes on School Info > Imports and Exports > Ed-Fi Code Mappings.
