PEIMS Data Collection
TEA encourages charter schools to verify the accuracy of the February 2, 2006 Midyear Data Submission of actual audited financial data from the 2004-05 school year. Charter staff should correct any errors in the originally reported data so that the final PEIMS resubmission file is submitted by February 23. TEA will make this revised data available to the general public in March.

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B)
Each charter school may complete a report for its students as a special data request to determine eligibility for 2006-2007 Individuals with IDEA-B allocations. Charters should use the automated 2005-2006 Web SAS to report basic school information and the count of students with disabilities enrolled and receiving special education services as of the date February 1, 2006. The reporting system will be available on the web from February 1, 2006, through February 22, 2006. Newly Opened/Significantly Expanded charter schools for 2006-2007 that provide special education services to students with disabilities based on current full and individual evaluations (FIEs) and individualized education programs (IEPs) will be eligible for initial or additional funds. Failure to either complete the report or observe the submission deadline will result in the unavailability of any funds generated by this count.

For assistance in completing the forms, contact the regional education service center special education administrator. If additional assistance is required, contact Mary Helen Nuņez-Wallace at 512-463-8525 in the Division of Formula Funding.
