Students must be at least sixteen years old, and this program must be identified on the student’s individualized education program (IEP).

There will be a gen issues report added indicating that a staff member who was previously reported as separated from their position is being reported in the current year as continuing in that position.

Two gen issues checks are also being deleted: (GNIS-048) Gen Issues - Staff - Average Teacher Salary and

•Gifted service in any area (this includes VPA and Creative Thinking, in addition to the academic subject areas), provided there is identification in Superior Cognitive Abilities

Based on having met with the Gifted Team on 3/12/2018, this is how they would like for the data collector to work, allowing the following into EMIS as a record of gifted service:

20-132 TLC IRN reporting. When the HQT element was deleted, the following information about certain core courses that are not evaluated for HQT (e.g., certain curriculum codes, delivery methods, student populations, etc.) was also deleted:

"Report option I whenever one or more of the following is true:
• Curriculum Element is OC, PS, or PI, or
• Delivery Method is CC, ET, or OL and Educational Option is YS, or
• Delivery Method is ID, IM, TO, or CI, or
• Student Population is D8, DP, or PR"

This has created confusion about reporting the TLC IRN, as it would previously have been reported as ****** if any of the above deleted conditions were true.

We still have the following statement in the TLC IRN reporting instructions:

"All ******s should only be reported if the subject being taught is not a core subject area (see Section 4.7 Subject Codes), or the Curriculum, Delivery Method, or Student Population Element option being reported for the subject is not evaluated for proper certification."

We just need to add the bulleted list back to the section, this time under the TLC IRN reporting instructions.

From the report explanation, "C = Student Population of D8 or SE. More than 50% of the students enrolled in the course must have a disability condition, and the course cannot fit into codes A or B. For Student Population, the Check Type Code (see below) is S."

However, for D8, the program was not looking to the % of students with a disability condition. It was looking only to the student population. The programming for codes A, B, C, and D all needed to be updated to include this percentage.
