TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY

2004 – 2005 PEIMS Budget Financial Data

Report Criteria

GENERAL COMMENTS

For more detailed information about fund, function, object and program intent codes see the Financial Accountability System Resource Guide.

This report does not include revenues or expenditures for Education Service Centers (“ESCs”). It also excludes revenues, expenditures, and student counts for Texas Youth Commission Schools.

General revenue funds, which are accounts for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund, are reported separately from all funds. General revenue fund reporting includes funds for both non-profit charter and regular school funds and includes fund codes 101 - 199. Fund 420 (Foundation school funds and other state aid) is included in general revenue for non-profit charter schools only.

Membership: Only students who are considered “in membership” are counted. This is the total number of public school students who were reported in membership as of October 29, 2004 at any grade, from early childhood education through grade 12. Membership is a slightly different number from enrollment, because it does not include those students who are served in the district for less than two hours per day. For example, the count of total students excludes students who attend a nonpublic school but receive some services, such as speech therapy-for less than two hours per day-from their local public school district.
