In order to inform policy makers and support best practices, Local Education Agencies (LEAs) will need to submit a crisis code indicator on students impacted by COVID-19. Crisis Codes will be collected in the 2019-2020 PEIMS Summer Submission. This indicator will also be added to the Texas Record Exchange (TREx) system for LEAs to exchange information on students as the student moves from one LEA to another. This information will not be used for any accountability purposes.

Crisis Code Values Reported in PEIMS Summer Submission (First submission due June 18, 2020):

Report the students that were enrolled in your LEA on the last day of school.
