AskTED Updates Due October 28
Please update your district, school, and personnel information in AskTED by PEIMS Fall Snapshot on October 28, as it will be used for 2022-23 Texas Student Data System (TSDS) collections and the 2022-23 Texas School Directory. To do so, access AskTED administration through your TEAL account, select Texas Education Directory from your list of applications, and check the following:
- Superintendent, principal, board member, and administrative staff information; District and school contact information; and Email addresses, mailing and site addresses, phone and fax numbers.
- Verify that both school mailing address and school physical site address are listed for all of your schools. If the school physical address is missing, please add this information, and include both a street number and name. A PO box is not allowed for the school physical address.
- Verify and update the residential facility status for the schools in your district, if applicable.
Also, if you have a new school that has been assigned a high school code (CEEB code), please contact the TEA AskTED administrator at askTED@tea.texas.gov so this code can be added to the school listing in AskTED. Please check with your school’s head counselor.
Physical Site Addresses Aren’t Just for FedEx Deliveries. Site addresses for your district and campuses are also used in geographic information systems (GIS), which enable analysis and groupings by geographic or political areas, such as legislative districts. We receive regular requests from state government and independent researchers for site address data. Please double-check your site addresses in AskTED to ensure we are providing our users the best data possible.
ESC Region Assignments. Districts are allowed to contract for services from any regional education service center. General services and PEIMS services can be arranged separately. Please double-check the Region Served and Region Served for PEIMS fields shown on your District Administration page in the TED administrator environment and contact us at askTED@tea.texas.gov if anything is out of order.
Superintendent Email Addresses. Please be aware that, when entering or editing information for the personnel role of superintendent or an equivalent role, there is an option to include a Non-public Email Address. TEA respects the privacy of this address and uses it only to communicate high-priority work-related information. It is not a required field. Many TEA communications will use the general district email address if the non-public email address field is empty.
For additional questions or guidance, please contact the TEA AskTED administrator at askTED@tea.texas.gov.

2022–2023 Significant Expansion of Enrollment Funding
Open-enrollment charter schools that have been awarded 2022–2023 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) or Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B) federal grants may qualify for additional funding under these grants if they meet specific criteria defining significant expansion of enrollment.
Significant Expansion of Enrollment Criteria for ESSA and IDEA-B
To claim significant expansion of enrollment for both ESSA and IDEA-B, your open-enrollment charter school must meet both of the following criteria based on the newly expanded enrollment:
- A minimum total student enrollment (ages 3–21) of 50
- At least a 50% increase in the total student enrollment (ages 3–21) from previously reported student counts
For example, you would meet the criteria for significant expansion of enrollment if your total student enrollment increased from 250 to 375.
How to Request Access to Enrollment Reporting Form
If your open-enrollment charter school meets the criteria for significant expansion of enrollment for federal funding, email the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting (FFCR) Division of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) at compliance@tea.texas.gov with your charter school name, county-district number, and a request that your 2022– 2023 SC5050–LEA Enrollment Data Request (SC5050) be opened.
The SC5050 collects actual enrollment data. TEA will open the SC5050 for you to enter, certify, and submit current actual enrollment counts. The current actual enrollment counts will be verified against the significant expansion criteria. You must maintain auditable documentation of the data submitted and be ready to submit the documentation to TEA upon request.
Timeline for Form Submission and Additional Funding
You may submit the updated SC5050 as soon as the 2022–2023 school year begins. The final date for submitting the SC5050 is January 31, 2023.
Any additional grant funding becomes available for either the 2022–2023 or 2023–2024 school year, depending on when you submit the updated SC5050.

2021-2022 Near Final State Aid Summary of Finances
2021–2022 Summary of Finance reports now incorporates Near-Final (NF) average daily attendance and FTEs from PEIMS summer submission (RUN ID 37791), Operational Minutes Adjustment (OMA), if applicable (RUN ID 37851), and updates to allotments for Transportation (RUN ID 37971), Teacher Incentive, Mentor Program, and VSN course completion. SOF updates for Final CCMR Outcomes Bonus allotments are still pending (NSC/IHE data for 2020 graduates, required to update CCMR OB allotments, is not available yet). NF adjustments for Additional Days School Year (ADSY) ADA will be incorporated once PEIMS submission #4 data are finalized in October 2022.
Negative balances resulting from 2021–2022 NF settle up will be transferred to reduce FSP payments in 2022–2023. Positive balances resulting from 2021–2022 NF settle up will be paid at the end of September, along with the first FSP payments for 2022–2023.
Please feel free to reach out to charterschoolfinance@tea.texas.gov for more information.
2022-2023 Six-Week District Summary Attendance through FSP System Application
2022-2023 FSP Six Week District Summary Attendance reporting through the Foundation School Program (FSP) application system is delayed until October 13, 2022 to implement system enhancements. TEA’s State Funding Division is aware many charter districts will not meet the 10-day calendar submission deadline because the submission link is inaccessible. Please note that all charter districts may catchup and submit their Six Week District Summary Attendance beyond the 10-day calendar deadline for 2022-2023 1st and 2nd Six-Week District Summary Attendance reports, as applicable once the system is available. Thank you for your patience.
Please feel free to reach out to charterschoolfinance@tea.texas.gov for more information.
