C/A 3.14 Career Technical Education Noncompleter Participants – Count
Updated 5/1/2026
Description: Reports the total number of CTE Noncompleter Participants by CTE Course at the school level, by gender. School level data is also aggregated at the LEA level. The number of Noncompleter Participants within each Student Group are also counted.
Report Type: Snapshot / (EOY 2)
Security Role(s) Required: County (For COEs); Authorizing LEA Reports (For all other LEAs)
Data As Of:
- Snapshot version, July 1 – June 30
Basic selection criteria:
- Enrollment within the LEA at any time during the Report Period qualifies for selection.
- Enrollment Status Code = 10, 20, or 30
- Grade Level = 07-12
- Student Course Section Completion (SCSC) must map to a state course code that is a CTE course (CRSC Field 9.07 = 7000-8999) for the student to be counted as a participant or completer.
- Only students who are CTE Participants but not CTE Completers (i.e. those who do NOT have an associated SCTE record), should be included in this report.
Student Data Rules:
-
A student who has different CTE Course Enrollments at the same school during the Reporting Period should be counted for each CTE Course Enrollment.
-
A student who is enrolled at two different schools at the same LEA during the Reporting Period and has Course Enrollments in the same Industry Sector, should count in both schools but only count once per Industry Sector in that school (i.e. unduplicated per Industry Sector per school). For counting within a Core Indicator, unduplicate at the School level, EXCEPT for Nontraditional Course Enrollment.
- “TOTAL – School” should be unduplicated across all Industry Sectors (i.e. counts once per school).
- “TOTAL – Example Industry Sector” – unduplicated across all Selected Schools for each Industry Sector (i.e. counts once per Industry Sector).
- “TOTAL – Selected Schools” – unduplicated across all Selected Schools for all Industry Sectors (i.e. counts once per LEA).
