District Checklist- UNITSERROR REFERENCE CORRECTION
No mc recs To generate teacher PS unit funding, the students must be on a course master for the center-based or itinerant teacher. You do not need to complete a course master for APE and related services staff. A Course Master Record must be reported for each teacher.
Course type err
A teacher’s daily instructional pattern is identified through the course type (D0x: D05, D08. Is the teacher providing centerbased services (D08), itinerant services (D05), or a combination of both (.5 as D08 + .5 as D05)
Course code err
Course code on file for this teacher does not match the valid preschool course code 196095
Invalid program code
Early Childhood Service Delivery OptionsEach "Preschooler with a Disability," must have only 1 (one) 217XXX code. This is determined according to where the child is receiving services. This coding is used for federal reporting of service in the Least Restrictive Environment.
Too few students
Children served in a Preschool Special Education unit must be identified as a preschool child with a disability—a disability code of 11.
The minimum number of children for full unit funding is not reported. For center-based services, six minimum. For itinerant, five minimum. For a combination teacher, six minimum.
No prog recs In order to receive an accurate child count for related services, children served in a Preschool Special Education unit must have a 218xxx code indicating the documented deficit(s) that makes the child eligible for services. A child may have more than one documented deficit reported. If a student is reported with the 218031 or the 218032 program code, s/he must also be reported with one of the other 218026 to 218030 program codes.
No grs recs There are no aggregate preschool children’s records attached to this teacher. Children are not linked to the teacher.
* Total FTE of teacher is shown for each course reported
