Person Enrollment Tracking (PET) OVERVIEW (See Appendix G)

PET maintains up-to-date enrollment data for all students in Texas public school districts. Districts submit enrollment data for students in grades Early Education (EE) through 12 weekly, using an EDIT+ sub-application. The enrollment data required are: BirthDate, SexCode, GenerationCode, AmericanIndianAlaskanNativeCd, AsianCd, BlackAfricanAmericanCd, NativeHawaiianPacificIslandCd, WhiteCd, HispanicLatinoCd, EnrollDate, WithdrawDate, campus ID of enrollment, enrollment date and withdrawal date. School districts can only submit PET data as extracted from their SIS. Districts can search PET to locate students or view enrollment histories.

The Person Enrollment Tracking (PET) extension was developed in order to

provide an up-to-date record of Texas public school enrollment for Texas public school students,
improve leaver reporting by eliminating from the leaver system the reporting of LEA-to-LEA student movers within Texas,
assist Texas public schools in finding students who have left one LEA to attend school another LEA within the Texas public school system, and
assist Texas public schools in identifying the previous Texas LEA of enrollment for a student newly enrolling in their LEA.

2015-2016 PET Submission Timelines

TEA requires submission of PET extract files as part of the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) data submissions. PET files are required to be submitted each week a LEA is in session based on the local instructional calendar. PET file submissions should begin on or before the third week of school based on the local instructional calendar. PET files are not required in weeks that a LEA is not in session for at least one day or during the weeks that PEIMS collections are due at TEA. Exception: Once a LEA has completed its final summer submission and its PEIMS data file has reached a status of “TURNAROUND REPORTS AVAIL,” one additional PET submission is required.
