Appendix 9: Program Service Codes
entered for each student. See definition of Safety Net in Appendix 23. A student is counted as
disabled if the program service entry date is before the reporting date and the program service
exit date is on or after the reporting date. A program service without a value in the Program
Service Exit Date field is considered to end after the reporting date.
Entry Date: Date of CSE or CPSE decision to classify with that disability, except that the entry
date for children who transition from Early Intervention (EI) to preschool special education
must be later if parents decide to continue EI services and transition to preschool special
education later than the CPSE’s decision to classify.
Exit Date: Date the CSE or CPSE rescinds the classification or the student’s disability
changes. In cases when the classification is rescinded or changed at the end of the school
year to be effective at the start of the following school year, the exit date must be later than the
date of CSE or CPSE’s action. For example, if a preschool child is declassified in June 2010
(end of the school year), but the effective date of the declassification is September 2010 (start
of the following school year), the student’s disability exit date must be the August 31, 2010,
allowing the student to have an active disability record in July and August 2010 for summer
preschool special-education services.
Reason for Ending Code: Used to indicate whether the student was declassified, the student
had his/her disability status changed by the CPSE/CSE, or the parents revoked consent for
special-education services (in writing). Use code 901 when the student is declassified or when
parents revoke consent for special-education services. Use code 912 when the student's
disability has changed. A change in type of disability will require a new program service record
identifying the new type of disability. Note: A preschool student with a disability who continues
as a student with a disability to a school level grade (including kindergarten) must have his or
her preschool Type of Disability (code 5786) ended with a Reason for Ending Code 912 and a
new Type of Disability assigned.
Safety Net
Under Section 504 - Each/All Subjects — Codes 0550, 0572, 0583, 0594, 0605 and 5775
Level Designation: District-level service.
Description: Indicates Section 504 students whose 504 plan specifically allows eligibility for the
graduation assessment safety net. A 504 Safety Net record should be included for each
subject area in which the student is eligible for the safety net. The student must also have a
program service record indicating that the student has a Section 504 plan (i.e., program
service code of 0264). Do not enter a Section 504 program service code for students with a
disability program service code. In calculating the district and school high school
accountability indices, Regents Competency Test (RCT) scores for Section 504 students will
be counted only if they have both a Section 504 program service record and a 504 Safety Net
record documenting eligibility in that subject.
Purpose: To identify students eligible for the safety net and, therefore, eligible to use Regents
competency tests to meet graduation requirements.
Entry Date: Date 504 plan adopted.
Exit Date: Date 504 plan revoked.
Reason for Ending Code: Not used.
Career and Technical Education
Specific Career and Technical Education Program Code — see Appendix 10
Level Designation: School-level service.
Description: Indicates in which specific career and technical education program the student
participates. A list of acceptable career and technical education programs can be found in
