Core Collection: Child Find


Child Find is a federal mandate under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It requires local education agencies (LEAs), which include public school districts and charter schools, to identify, locate, and evaluate all children with disabilities residing within their jurisdictions who need special education and related services (34 CFR §300.111—Child Find). This program covers students from birth through age 21 and includes students for whom the special education evaluation process was completed.

This process includes children who are:

  • Enrolled in a public school and are advancing from grade to grade
  • Parentally placed in a private school, homeschool, or attend a virtual school
  • Highly mobile, including migrant children
  • Homeless
  • In foster care or unaccompanied youth
  • Wards of the state
  • Involved in the criminal justice system
  • Residing in nursing homes

For additional information, see the Child Find website.

State Reporting

State Reporting > Utilities > Create TSDS Core Collections Interchanges

The Campus ID in this screen runs the interchange by the enrollment campus, not by the evaluation campus.

The Child Find SPPI-11 and Child Find SPPI-12 Indicators from Demo1 are used to identify SPPI-11 and SPPI-12 students and will not extract.

It is recommended to run the interchanges with Campus set to blank to ensure all students are reported regardless of Campus Evaluation ID or Campus Enrollment ID.

NOTE: The STUDENT-ABSENCES-WITHIN-TIMEFRAME calculation in the Student Program Extension Interchange does not include absences from prior year.


State Reporting Child Find Core Collection menu

Collection

Select the submission type. For the Child Find submission, select Child Find.

Ending School Year

(Display only) The submission year, as entered in the Submission Year field on State Reporting > Options, is displayed.

For example, for the 2021-2022 Child Find submission, the field should display 2022.


The interchanges are listed according to the Core Collection field.

❏ Select All TSDS Collection Interchanges (e.g., All TSDS Child Find Interchanges) to create all interchanges for Child Find.

Or, select the individual interchange you want to create.


Selected Students

The field is enabled if you selected all interchanges or a student-related interchange. Type or click the ellipsis to select the students for whom you want to create an interchange. Separate multiple students (Texas unique student IDs) with a comma (e.g., 6895409515,1628657282,2986961713). Leave blank to select all students.

Note: At least one interchange must be selected in order for this field to retrieve students.


❏ Click Run.

When the process is complete, you are prompted to save a .zip file containing the individual files for the completed interchanges.

The default name of the zipped folder is District_YYYY-MM-DD.HH-MM-SS.TSDS.zip, where:

  • District is the six-digit county-district number
  • YYYY-MM-DD is the date when the folder was created
  • HH-MM-SS is the hour, minute, and second when the folder was created

Example: 015102-2020-01-15.15-30-22.TSDS.zip


The default name for the individual files is District_Campus_Collection_TimeStamp_Interchange.xml, where:

  • District is the six-digit county-district number
  • Campus is the three-digit campus ID
  • Collection is the nine-character collection (ending school year & submission)
  • TimeStamp is the 12-digit date-time-stamp when the interchange was created (YYYYMMDDHHMM)
  • Interchange is the name of the interchange created.

Example: 120120_000_2019TSDS_202002030954_InterchangeStudentParentExtension.xml



❏ If errors are encountered:

  1. Correct the data in ASCENDER.
  2. Re-run the interchange(s).
