This page provides guidance on how to request an ID for a new campus.
Campus IDs are assigned to instructional campuses. As defined in the Texas Education Data Standards (TEDS), an instructional campus meets the following criteria:
District superintendents or district TED administrators listed in AskTED may request campus IDs.
Campus IDs are assigned to instructional organizations, not physical facilities. If an existing school (organization) is moving from one facility into another, the district should keep the campus ID and simply change the school's address in AskTED. Conversely, if a physical structure is repurposed as a different organization, it should get a new ID.
Examples: Learning ISD has 2 campuses: a high school, grades 9-12, and a school serving grades K-8. The ISD decides it needs another campus. This is what was done:
The high school campus that moved kept its campus ID: The district moved the high school into a new building. The high school took its campus ID with it to the new location.
The campus with grade changes kept its campus ID: The school serving grades K-8 changed to K-5. The K-5 campus retained the principal from the K-8 campus as well as many of the teachers associated with grades K-5. Because the campus retained its organizational identity, both the campus name and grades served could be changed without needing to get a new campus ID.
A new campus needed to have a new campus ID: The building from which the high school moved was repurposed as a junior high serving grades 6-8 and assigned a new principal and teachers. Because the junior high represented a new organization of students, teachers, and administrators, it received its own campus ID.
Because the original range of organization codes is now too limited to keep up with the growth of districts, this range should only be used as a guide. There is no penalty for using a campus ID outside of the original range:
001-040 for high school campuses
041-100 for junior high and middle school campuses
101-698 for elementary school campuses
If you have a preferred campus ID and the number has not been used before, please indicate this number when you request a new campus ID (item 2 in the request form linked below). TEA will not reassign a previously used campus ID. If you have special circumstances or questions about the assigned campus ID, please contact the TEA TED administrator at AskTED@tea.texas.gov or (512) 463-9809.
School districts and charter schools must receive TEA approval to change the campus number of a campus with an overall rating of D or F or identified for comprehensive support and improvement.
For any campus number request involving a campus with an overall D or F rating or identified for comprehensive support and improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), districts and charter schools must first consult with the TEA Office of Governance and Accountability. Each such request is then reviewed by an agency campus number committee. For these reasons, as well as the deadline for campus status change requests, all campus number requests involving D- or F-rated campuses or campuses identified for comprehensive support and improvement must be received no later than August 16. Ratings history may be linked across campus IDs to determine consecutive years of overall D or F ratings.

Note: |
The consolidation, deletion, division, or addition of a campus identification number does not absolve the district of the state accountability rating history associated with campuses that received an overall D or F rating. Should the campus identification number change for a campus with an overall D or F rating, the Division of School Improvement at the Texas Education Agency (TEA) will work with you to determine specific interventions and/or student tracking based on the following guidance: |
Districts that request either to close a campus rated overall D or F or shift one or more grade levels of a campus rated overall D or F to another campus will be required to maintain certain interventions centered on the students from the overall D or F campus. The interventions will include ongoing participation in the continuous improvement process of analyzing data, assessing needs, developing a plan for improvement, and implementing and monitoring that plan. This continuous improvement process requires that the district ensure the progress of the students from the overall D or F campus is tracked, regardless of whether they were moved as an entire group to one campus or dispersed to more than one campus in the district.
Students who failed state assessments or students identified by the district as at-risk of failing the assessments should be tracked with a student-level tool either developed by the district or provided by TEA. Evidence of this student-level review and tracking of progress will be maintained locally, unless it is requested by the agency. The district will also be expected to maintain the appointment of a District Coordinator of School Improvement (DCSI) to coordinate all intervention requirements with TEA.
Additionally, the consolidation, deletion, division, or addition of a campus identification number will result in the loss of Title I, 1003(a) Comprehensive Support and Improvement School Grant funding. The district is advised to contact the Division of School Improvement at sidivision@tea.texas.gov to discuss the implications of this decision.
Please refer any questions regarding specific interventions to the Division of School Improvement at sidivision@tea.texas.gov.
For requests applying to the current school year, September 1 is the deadline for requesting to change the status of a campus from from Active to Obsolete or from Under Construction to Active. This helps ensure time for processing before the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) class roster and charter waitlist collections. Such requests are typically processed over the summer, after the school year ends, and before the new school year begins. Contact AskTED@tea.texas.gov any time during the summer to request such a change.
For requests applying to the upcoming school year, campus status change requests received before August 15 may not be processed until after the public release of accountability ratings.
For any campus number request involving a campus with an overall D or F rating or identified for comprehensive support and improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), districts and charter schools must first consult with the TEA Office of Governance and Accountability. Each such request is then reviewed by an agency campus number committee. For these reasons, as well as the deadline for campus status change requests, all campus number requests involving D- or F-rated campuses or campuses identified for comprehensive support and improvement must be received no later than August 16.
For requests applying to the current school year, September 1 is the deadline for requesting to add a new campus as Active (except for a new disciplinary alternative education program [DAEP] or juvenile justice alternative education program [JJAEP] campus). This helps ensure time for processing before the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) class roster and charter waitlist collections. Such requests are typically processed over the summer, after the school year ends, and before the new school year begins. Contact AskTED@tea.texas.gov any time during the summer to request such a change.
For requests applying to the upcoming school year, requests to add a new campus as Active that are received before August 15 may not be processed until after the public release of accountability ratings.
