Texas First Early High School Completion Program

The Texas First Early High School Completion Program (TAC Chapter 21.52, effective August 21, 2022) allows qualifying students to graduate early. eSchoolPlus supports this program through the Graduation Type Code (E0806) value of '40' and the C233 data element reported to PEIMS.

Prerequisites

Ensure your district is on a current eSchoolPlus release. The following should already exist in your system:

Table	Code	Description
REGTB_DIPLOMAS	40	Texas First Early High School Completion Program
TXTB_C062	40	Texas First Early High School Completion Program
TXTB_C233	01	Student Graduated Two Or More Semesters Early
TXTB_C233	02	Student Graduated Less Than Two Semesters Early

You can verify these exist by navigating to System Administration – Validation Tables and searching for the table names above.

Setup Steps

Step 1 — Code the Student's Diploma Type

Navigate to Registration – Student – Academic (or via the Student Profile)
Set the Diploma Type field to 40 — Texas First Early High School Completion Program

This maps to PEIMS data element E0806 (Graduation Type Code).

Step 2 — Code the C233 Element (TX First Early HS Completion)

Navigate to the student's record
Go to User Defined Screen 110 (PEIMS - Graduate)
Set Field 5 — "TX First Early HS Completion" to one of the following values:

Code	Description	When to Use
01	Student Graduated Two Or More Semesters Early	The student completed the program 2+ semesters ahead of schedule
02	Student Graduated Less Than Two Semesters Early	The student completed the program less than 2 semesters ahead of schedule

This maps to PEIMS data element C233 (Texas First Early HS Completion Program Code).

Step 3 — Withdraw the Student

When the student completes the program and graduates:

Navigate to Registration – Entry/Withdrawal
Enter a withdrawal with a Withdrawal Code that has a state code equivalent of 01 (Graduated)
Enter the Graduation Date

How It Reports to PEIMS

When the PEIMS Student Download runs, the system will:

PEIMS Element	Reported Value
E0806 — Graduation Type Code	40
E1001 — Leaver Reason Code	01 (from withdrawal code)
C233 — TX First Early HS Completion	01 or 02 (from User Screen 110, Field 5)
FHSP Participant Code	0 (automatically set when E0806 = 40)
FHSP Endorsement Indicators	All cleared (automatically when E0806 = 40)

The student will appear on the 203 (School Leaver) record in the PEIMS submission.

Verification

After setup, you can verify that the data will report correctly:

Run the PEIMS Student Download for the appropriate submission
Check the TX_203 table for the student's record
Confirm GRAD_TYPE_CODE = '40' and the C233 value is populated

Troubleshooting

Issue	Resolution
Code '40' not available in Diploma Type dropdown	Verify REGTB_DIPLOMAS has code '40' with Active = 'Y'. If missing, contact support to run the TX deploy script.
User Screen 110 / Field 5 not visible	Verify SMS_USER_FIELDS has an entry for screen_number = 110, field_number = 5. The field label should be "TX First Early HS Completion".
TXTB_C233 codes not in dropdown	Verify the TXTB_C233 validation table has codes '01' and '02' with Active = 'Y'.
Student not appearing in PEIMS download	Ensure the student has been withdrawn with a state code equivalent to '01' withdrawal code and has a diploma type '40' set.
