PEIMS FAQ
Are data submitted during PEIMS correction resubmission windows used for accountability?
If there are no fatal errors in the resubmission, yes. LEAs have until each PEIMS resubmission deadline to make corrections to incomplete and/or inaccurate data entered during the initial submission window. After the resubmission window closes, approved PEIMS data are made available to agency staff for state and federal reporting such as accountability reports, dropout reports, and Texas Academic Performance Reports.
LEAs are not required to send a resubmission of PEIMS data. The period 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 an LEA does not submit during the resubmission, or if the resubmission data are not free of fatal errors, TEA will use the PEIMS data sent for the first submission. Working collections are not used for accountability purposes. Please see TSDS PEIMS Timelines for a complete list of initial and resubmission deadlines for the 2024-25 school year.
It is critical that LEAs review available Texas Student Data System (TSDS) PEIMS reports to ensure submission of correct and complete student data. For example, failure to verify the correct code(s) has been entered for Post Secondary Industry Certification Licensure may not result in a PEIMS error code but may have implications for LEA accountability calculations. LEA staff with an approved TSDS PEIMS role may access TSDS PEIMS campus and district reports by logging in to the TEA Login (TEAL) platform and selecting the Texas Student Data System Portal. For questions about accessing PEIMS reports, please contact your ESC PEIMS staff or enter a TSDS Incident Management System (TIMS) ticket via the TSDS Portal.
