Getting Graduation/Leaving a Clear Trail: ARD Committees, Requirements, Coding and More! (Austin)

This full-day in-person training is designed to support an understanding of the graduation requirements for students under the Foundation High School Program with a focus on students who are receiving special education services. 

Participants will review these topics and more as part of this training:

  • Curriculum and assessment requirements to include a review of various sections of Chapter 74 of the Texas Administrative Code where graduation requirements are denoted;
  • A review of Rule §89.1070 within Chapter 89 of the Texas Administrative Code and the Commissioner's Rules Concerning Special Education Services and Graduation Requirements;
  • A look at options for ARD Committees to consider to include substitutions or exemptions to specific graduation requirements;
  • TSDS/PEIMS and the Graduation Type Code;
  • Transcript (AAR) and the Personal Graduation Plan; and
  • College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) and how students receiving special education services may demonstrate college, career, or military readiness

If possible, it is recommended that a team of personnel from your district or campus (such as a registrar, counselor, and special education leader) attend this training to support your discussion of local procedures for graduation documentation.
