91Èȱ¬

The 91Èȱ¬ is announcing significant changes to the process for reporting leavers and graduates in the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) for the 2025-2026 school year. These changes are part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of student data reporting.

Overview

Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, current-year leaver and graduation data will be reported in the PEIMS Summer and Extended Year Submissions. 91Èȱ¬ will update both submissions to include all the data necessary for 91Èȱ¬ to determine leaver and graduate information for a school system. Leaver and graduate data will no longer be reported in the PEIMS Fall Submission after the 2025-2026 school year.Ìý

The 2025-2026 school year will be a transition year. Leaver and graduate data for the 2024-2025 school year will be reported in the 2025-2026 PEIMS Fall Submission. Leaver and graduate data for the 2025-2026 school year will be reported in the 2025-2026 PEIMS Summer and Extended Year Submissions. The leaver and graduate collection change will allow 91Èȱ¬ to better comply with the federal reporting deadlines for certain EDFacts and Perkins submissions.

Impacts to Reporting

• School systems must adjust their internal timelines to meet the new reporting deadlines.
• Staff must familiarize themselves with the updated criteria for reporting leavers and graduates to ensure accurate data submission.

Next Steps for LEAs

1. Review the Updated Guidance: It is essential that all relevant staff review the Early Notice published in the TSDS Web-Enabled Data Standards (TWEDS) on Sept. 3, 2024.
2. Prepare for Early Submissions: Begin adjusting internal processes now to meet the new deadlines.
