In order to inform policy makers, support best practices and ensure maximum funding for local education agencies (LEAs), LEAs will need to submit a crisis code indicator on all students attending school in the 2020-2021 school year. Crisis code data will be submitted through the TSDS PEIMS Fall 1 Collection by close of business on October 5, 2020, and again on November 6, 2020. The data reported in these two collections will be published externally in summary format at the LEA and state level. 

The 2020-2021 crisis codes 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.
