PK-ELIGIBLE-PREVIOUS-YEAR-INDICATOR-CODE indicates whether a student is eligible for enrollment in a prekindergarten class because 

• A four-year-old student was eligible for enrollment at the age of three in the previous school year, but are not eligible through other criteria, or 
• A five-year-old student was eligible for enrollment at the age of four in the previous school year, and the parent requested they be retained in prekindergarten.  

• Emergent Bilingual (EB)/English learner (EL)
• Economically Disadvantaged
• Military Connected
• Foster Care
• Homeless
• Child of a person awarded the Star of Texas Award.

For five-year-old students, this indicator may be used even if a student is reported with any of the other eligibility criteria. A five-year-old student is generally not eligible for prekindergarten under the traditional eligibility criteria. A five-year-old student is only eligible for prekindergarten if a parent requests retention in PK, or if the student was eligible for enrollment at age four in the previous year but has not yet enrolled in kindergarten.
