PEIMS Data Standards ds1_peims_submission_and_resubmission

School districts and open enrollment charter schools (LEAs) are required to send complete and accurate data, free of fatal errors, by the first submission deadline for each data collection as specified in the PEIMS Submission and Resubmission Timelines.

The data must be approved by the LEA Superintendent/Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Executive Officer/President and accepted by the LEA’s Education Service Center PEIMS Coordinator before it can be accepted by TEA.

Failure of a LEA to submit required data for a particular collection will result in the LEA being referred to the TEA General Counsel for further action.

LEAs are not required to send a resubmission data file. The period of time between the first submission and the resubmission deadlines is an extension provided to all LEAs to review their original submission for any errors and make corrections.

If a LEA does not submit a PEIMS file during the resubmission window, or if the resubmission PEIMS file is not free of fatal errors, TEA will use the data the LEA submitted for the first submission.

Immediately following the closure of Collections 1, 2, and 4, the approved data is loaded to TEA databases and made available. TEA program areas use PEIMS data to create products such as Standard Reports and Core products, accountability reports, dropout reports, Snapshot, AEIS reports, and School Report Cards. Any data not submitted by the submission or resubmission deadlines are excluded from these important products.

For Collection 3, all LEAs must meet the published First Submission deadline. Resubmissions for Collection 3 are due by the published deadline, with the single exception of LEAs operating year-round schools. If the school year for a particular campus has not ended when the submission is due, report the actual number of instructional days completed thus far. A LEA that provides year-round education is allowed to delay its one resubmission until two weeks following the end of its latest year-round school track, or until August 23, 2013, whichever comes first. Report the full attendance data set for the entire school year with the resubmission.

Questions concerning the Data Standards reporting requirements, or any of the above topics, should be directed to the PEIMS Coordinator at the LEA’s ESC. The ESC PEIMS staff will make every effort to answer the question, and/or may find it necessary to contact TEA for assistance. If the ESC PEIMS Coordinator, or the ESC PEIMS Coordinator's alternate, is not available after a reasonable amount of time, LEA personnel may contact TEA directly at (512) 463-9229 or for PEIMS or EDIT+ questions. A LEA should always attempt to contact the ESC PEIMS staff before calling TEA.
