New Integrity Rules -10131 and -20038

Integrity Rule -10131 impacts preschool memberships with respect to their Tuition Payer code. PS memberships will need to be 1, 2, 4 or 7 according to the following table.

Tuition Payer Code	Description	Rationale
1	Regular	PS membership with SPED program eligible for state aid.
2	Private paid or no tuition charged	PS membership without SPED program not eligible for state aid.
4	Non-special education (NSE) in residential treatment centers	PS membership not eligible for state aid. A voucher or other formula may exists. Memberships of this type are rare.
7	Non resident ASDB - Other State funded formula	PS membership not eligible for state aid. The membership may be paid for by voucher or other formula.

The error code description indicates: If a PS enrollment without a SPED Program is not reported with Tuition Payer Code 2 OR a PS enrollment with a SPED Program is not reported with Tuition Payer Code 1, 4 or 7, then report the discrepancy as an error. Tuition Payer Code 2 must be used for any day a PS enrollment is reported without a SPED Program.

Exceptional Student Services have posted a notification of the changes here on their website.

 

Integrity Rule -20038 impacts WK withdrawals for students that change their Calendar Code midyear. The WK has been expanded to allow a lateral change between UE and KG accompanied by a Calendar Code change.
