What is the leaver record? How is the information used?
Each fall, Texas school districts report to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) on students in attendance or enrollment in Grades 7-12 the previous school year. Districts submit an enrollment record for the new school year for each student who returned and a “leaver record” for each student who left the district. Each leaver record includes a “leaver reason.” The leaver reasons fall into three main groups: graduated, continued high school elsewhere, or dropped out.
