PEIMS Data Standards Context Edit Rules

PEIMS data will be edited for context. Some context edits compare data element fields within a single record, while others compare data element fields across records either of the same record type or of different record types. Finally, some data group edits compare data element fields with values registered with the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The following pages list specific context edit rules that apply to the various record types, the purpose of which is to provide for both the integrity of the PEIMS database and compliance with data standards.

Context edits generate both warning and fatal errors. Violation of a fatal context edit rule will cause the record to be rejected. ESCs will forward a district's PEIMS data submission to the agency only after all fatal context edit errors have been corrected.
