PEIMS

PEIMS data submitted determines state funding, compliance, and accountability.

• Submission 1 - Fall Snapshot - Student enrollment, leavers and staff
• Submission 2 - Mid-Year - Prior year actual financial data
• Submission 3 - Summer - Attendance, discipline, course completions (full year)
• Submission 4 - Extended Year - Summer/extended-year programs
• Attendance 1st-5th Six Weeks - attendance data for each six weeks with final attendance reported in Submission 1

The Texas Student Data System (TSDS) is the state’s platform for more detailed data reporting. The Core Collections are specialized sets of data that districts are required to report in addition to the main PEIMS submissions.

• SPEDs: Special education evaluations and compliance measures (SPPI-11/12, SPPI-7, SPPI-13) and collecting data on the installation of video cameras in an eligible special education classroom or setting in response to written requests.
• Class Roster – Winter: Teacher-student assignment data (TIA, HB 4545)
• ECDS (Early Childhood Data System): Pre-K and Kindergarten student, staff, classroom, and assessment data
• RFT (Residential Facility Tracker): Tracks students with disabilities in residential facilities
• SPPI-14: Post-school outcomes for students with disabilities (grades 9–12 leavers)
• Teacher Vacancy Collection: collects data from school districts and open-enrollment charter schools to address teacher retention and recruitment. 
• SELA (Special Education Language Acquisition): collects data on the language acquisition of children who are eight years of age or younger who are identified as Deaf /Hard of Hearing, or Deaf/Blind.
