CrisisEvent indicates a state health or weather-related event that impacts a group of students, and may require additional funding, educational, or social services. The event may or may not cause the student to leave the district or campus of residence. A crisis event is designated by the Commissioner of Education.

This data is reported based on the descriptor table CrisisEvent, which is populated as events occur that will require state reporting. If the commissioner of education declares a crisis, then this data must be reported for the affected students based on the guidance from TEA. Otherwise, if a student is not affected by a declared crisis, then this field may be left blank.

A student with a CrisisEvent should be reported with that code for the remainder of the school year.
