State Compensatory Education Programs for At-Risk Students

At Risk TSDS Fall Submission and beyond

What is it? AT-RISK-INDICATOR-CODE (E0919) indicates whether a student is currently identified as at-risk of not meeting standards or dropping out of school using state-defined criteria (TEC 29.081, Compensatory and Accelerated Instruction). Local criteria are not included in this indicator code.

Purpose The purpose of state compensatory education (SCE) is to supplement the basic or regular education program with compensatory accelerated instruction in order to reduce any disparity in performance on assessment instruments administered under Subchapter B, Chapter 39 TEC, or disparity in the rates of high school completion between students at risk of dropping out of school and all other LEA students. The program requires Texas local education agencies (LEAs) to offer direct supplemental accelerated instruction to each student who meets one or more statutory or locally- defined eligibility ( at risk ) criteria. State Compensatory Education (SCE) program mandates and references can be found in the Texas Education Code (TEC) 29.081, 28.0217, 29.089 and 42.152. LEA s are required to serve each student who meets the statutory eligibility criteria regardless of whether the district receives funds underTEC 42.152.
