PEIMS Summer Submission (3)
Texas Education Code 25.081 requires that schools operate a school year for each campus that includes 75,600 minutes of school day operation over the course of the school year. TEC 42.005 contains provisions for certain groups of students to attend school on the basis of Instructional Minutes; 32,400 for Prekindergarten and 43,200 for dropout or at-risk student programs. Open enrollment charter schools approved prior to January 1, 2015 are permitted to operate on the basis of a 180-day calendar instead of 75,600 minutes.
The collection of the data on the CalendarDateExtension Sub-Category is limited to the days that students are planned to attend school and the days that are sub-planted with a waiver and the students do not actually attend school either for a partial day or a full day. Do not report school holidays, such as spring break, weekends, or any other time that staff and students are not expected to be at school. Do not include staff work days that are not related to exercising the option of using a staff development waiver in lieu of a student instruction day.
Because schools that operate a standard instructional program (INSTRUCTIONAL-PROGRAM-TYPE 01) are required to operate a school year consisting of at least 75,600 school day operational minutes, the sum of the SCHOOL-DAY-OPERATIONAL-MINUTES and the SCHOOL-DAY-WAIVER-MINUTES should add to at least 75,600 minutes.
Each campus that reports at least one student in attendance during the course of the school year must also report school calendar data.
Per TEC 25.081(f) a school cannot plan on Memorial Day being an operational day or student school day when building the calendar(s) for a campus and then ask for the waiver.
