The Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) encompasses all data requested and received by Texas Education Agency (TEA) about public education, including student demographics and academic performance, personnel, financial and government information.

As a team in Irving ISD, we are committed to: 

• Providing central point-of-contact for district and campus assistance and support on registration, enrollment, attendance, and all related PEIMS data.

• Staying in compliance/data validation

• Sharing data accuracy and completeness

• Creating accurate and concise reports using data from student programs as requested by district and campus administration.

• Training of campus and district personnel

PEIMS is a data collection system developed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to submit district data to the state on a scheduled basis. PEIMS encompasses all data requested and received by TEA about public education, including:

• Organizational

• Budget

• Actual Financial

• Staff

• Student Demographics

• Program Participation

• School Leaver

• Student Attendance

• Course Completion 

• Discipline

Data collected through PEIMS is used by several TEA programs to create reports, including the following:

• TEA Standard Reports
• Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR)
• Accountability System
• Snapshot
• Pocket Edition

Texas Education Data Standards (TEDS) are XML-based standards for Texas Student Data System (TSDS) and TSDS PEIMS data collections. TEDS includes all data elements, code tables, business rules, and data validations needed to load local education agency (LEA—Texas school district or charter school) education data. For more information on how PEIMS is changing, see What's New with PEIMS?

Compatible Software Systems: As TSDS is implemented across Texas, this page will list software that has demonstrated compatibility with one or more TSDS subsystems, as verified to TEA by at least one LEA.

PEIMS data is collected at least four times each school year. The major submissions are listed below:

1. Fall Collection – represents the state of LEAs as the Fall snapshot date. Although the Fall Snapshot Date may not be a day of instruction, school districts still report all students served and staff employed on that date. Exception: Leaver data are reported based on leaver status as of the last Friday in September.

2. Mid-Year Collection – includes the audited actual financial data for the prior school year.

3. Summer Collection – includes year long student attendance (regular and flexible), course completions, disciplinary actions, student restraints, Title I, Part A participation, course sections, and teacher class assignments/staff data, district/charter school and campus performance ratings, school board requests, and Foundation High School Program participation data.

4. Extended Collection – includes special education extended year services (ESY) student data for the school year, student flexible attendance for credit recovery, and summertime dual credit course completion for students.
