Discipline Restraint of Special Education Students

Special Education Reports


Overview

Student participation in a special education program is primarily maintained from tabs on the Aeries Special Education page, including disabilities, services, language acquisition, residential facility, and more.


Although fields are provided in Aeries for storing Individualized Education Program (IEP) information, most Texas districts use a third-party vendor for maintaining and exporting the data, and the Aeries IEP fields can be left blank.


Participation in a 504 program is maintained separately on the 504 Plans page.

The following should be done before proceeding:


  • On the Texas State Reporting page under Code Translations:
    • Map each Special Education Disability Code (CSE.D1, CSE.D2, CSE.D3) value to a valid TSDS DC142 value. This is necessary because the Primary Disability fields on the Special Education tabs list values from the C053 table.


  • On the Course History Institutions page, ensure the following exist: 
    • The district residential facility. The ID Type and Description field must be set to R (CHI.TY = R-Residential Facility).
    • Any outside districts or schools where a student may receive special education services through a Memo of Understanding (MOU) or contract
    • The Regional Day School for the Deaf

  • On the District Options page, ensure the Residential Facility ID(s) field (DPT.NM = Residential_Facility_IDs) lists all relevant institutions using the unique the unique residential facility ID number registered with the TEA. The list includes all institutions added to Course History Institutions where ID Type and Description is R.

  • On the Staff page, ensure staff records exist for the following special education staff members:
    • Special education teachers
    • Special education aides

  • (Optional) On the Update Code Table page, add the following as needed:

    • Any custom local codes used to track specific items (on Special Education > General tab under Other Information):

      • CSE.U1-CSE.U6 support one character.

      • CSE.U7-CSE.U12 support two characters.

    • Any other optional codes used locally:

      • School Type (CSE.TY)
