Preliminary 2024 Accountability Manual is now available
On Thursday, February 15, 2024, the notification To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) was announced reflecting the release of the Preliminary 2024 Accountability Manual. The Preliminary 2024 Accountability Manual, Chapters 1-12 are now available on the 2024 Accountability Manual webpage. The proposed rule to adopt the manual will be visible in the Texas Register on February 23, 2024, followed by the 30-day window for public comments and a public hearing. Additional information can be found on the Proposed Commissioner of Education Rules website.
2023 Leaver Records Data Validation Compliance Reviews
The Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) Data Validation System, developed in response to state and federal statutes, analyzes leaver records annually to look for potential data anomalies as required in TEC §39.308. The 2023 Leaver Records Data Validation Manual outlined eight indicators. Districts may retrieve a copy of their Local Education Agency’s (LEA) PBM 2023 Leaver Records Data Validation (LRDV) report to determine if your LEA triggered any 2023 indicators by logging into the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) portal to access the Accountability application.
An LEA will have a 2023 Leaver Records Data Reporting Compliance Review form to complete for each indicator triggered. Forms focus on compliance with the Texas Education Data Standards, and indicators one through five will contain prepopulated student-level data to validate. Identified LEAs are expected to (1) validate and document that their data are correct and address any identified potential program implementation concerns found during the process and (2) improve local data collection and submission procedures if the LEA’s identification occurred because of incorrect data. The Data Reporting Compliance Unit (DRCU) will make LRDV compliance review forms available to LEAs for download from the Intervention, Stage, and Activity Manager (ISAM) application accessible through TEAL on February 20, 2024.
In collaboration with the College, Career, Military Preparation Division please note the following information:
Technical Assistance Report for Industry-Based Certifications and Programs of Study Alignment
Local Education Agencies (LEAs) may access updated technical assistance reports within the CTER application in TEAL. Using the 2022-2023 dropdown menu, select “CTE District Alignment Report.” The report includes auto-coded data for students' CTE status indicators and LEA course offerings for the school year 2022-2023. The IBCs earned are self-reported data LEAs entered into PEIMS during the Summer 2023 submission or with a previous submission. The technical assistance report may be used to analyze the programs of study offered or that could be offered, review course offerings within each program of study, and make programmatic decisions about aligned IBCs that may be offered to students.
PEIMS and Accountability
On February 15, 2024, the finalized PEIMS Fall 2023 (“October snapshot”) data became available to customers. The district’s Accepted PEIMS reports available in the PEIMS application are considered the finalized data. These data are an essential part of the calculation process for state accountability because they are used to identify the accountability subset. The Accountability Subset Rule states that a subset of assessment results is used to calculate each domain and the subset is determined by the data reported on the TSDS PEIMS October snapshot. (Chapter 1—2023 Accountability Overview)
For 2024 accountability, STAAR results from EOC fall 2023, EOC spring 2024, and Grades 3-8 spring 2024 administrations are included in the accountability subset if the student was enrolled according to the TSDS PEIMS October 2023 enrollment snapshot.

This finalized PEIMS Fall 2023 data will also be used on March 11, 2024, to update missing student information in TIDE for students who are already registered in TIDE. Districts can still update some student information, such as student demographic and program enrollment, as specified in the Calendar of Events - District and Campus Coordinator Resources. The “Final Date to Enter Student Information for Accountability Reporting” is listed in the DCCR Calendar of Events linked above. Please note there is a separate deadline to update student information for each TIDE administration event and changes made after the deadline will not be updated in accountability reports.
Districts are strongly encouraged to review and compare the finalized PEIMS Fall 2023 data (Accepted PEIMS reports) and TIDE student information to ensure the accuracy of the data that will be used for accountability calculations.
