Summary: This report provides a “what if” preview of next year HB3 Student Census Tier and Residential Placement data related for compensatory education funding. The report is based upon the latest year Fall PEIMS Census Block Group and the next year TEA Census Tier Mapping regarding State Compensatory Education (SCE) Program from TEA. 

*Recommended timeframe for report relevancy is April – September after TEA has released the next year Census Tier Mapping and prior to LEA updating next year Census Block Group for Fall PEIMS reporting.    For more details reference KB When do I use the Preview Next Year Census Tiers report.

As of 3/24/2023 TEA has NOT posted the Census Block Tier Mapping for 2024 and this report will default all Census Block Group students to Tier 1 until the 2024 mapping is released and loaded in ODS.
