24:17:01:07 Definition of preschool for data collection purposes (click to view full rule)
This rule offers a definition of preschool for data collection purposes and requires all public school districts operating a preschool program to report student data for its preschool students. Students in traditional preschool programs should be coded to PK. Students receiving special education services should be coded to EC.
The data entered into the student information system is used for making state aid payments to districts, and for state and federal reporting. Therefore, accurate data is critical.
Questions regarding any of these rules should be directed to the department’s Data Management Office. Call (605) 773-3248.
