Leaver reporting varies based on when and why a student exits. The following scenarios outline how each type of leaver is reported.
Leavers – Non-Graduates
Examples: Transfers, dropouts, and withdrawals during the school year.
Reported at the time of withdrawal. ExitWithdrawDate and ExitWithdrawType are captured in the current-year StudentSchoolAssociation record.
Leavers – Early Graduates
Examples: Students who complete graduation requirements early and withdraw before the end of the school year.
Report these students at the time of withdrawal. ExitWithdrawDate and ExitWithdrawType are captured in the current-year StudentSchoolAssociation record.
Leavers – Regular Year-End Graduates
Who this affects: Grade 12 students who graduate at the end of the school year.
Beginning with the 2025–2026 reporting year, TEA requires ExitWithdrawDate and ExitWithdrawType = 01 (Graduated) to be reported in the current-year StudentSchoolAssociation record for Summer and Extended Year PEIMS submissions.
Leavers – No-Shows
Who this affects: Students enrolled on the last day of the prior school year who do not re-enroll by the current year's School Start Window (SSW).
Reported in the prior-year StudentSchoolAssociation record using ExitWithdrawDate and a valid ExitWithdrawType. LEAs have until the School Start Window to determine whether the student enrolled in another Texas public school before reporting the student as a no-show leaver.
