PEIMS
The Public Education Information Management System (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
The PEIMS group in Dayton ISD is responsible for submitting all the district data required by TEA to enable them to evaluate our school district and campuses. The information submitted determines state funding, as well as compliance and accountability in many programs.
-
- Student data: This includes all demographic, attendance, and academic performance information on each student in the district.
- Staff data: This is information about school personnel.
- Organizational data: This is details about the structure of the school district.
- Financial data: This is the financial and budget information for the school district.
-
- Accountability: The data is used by the TEA for its results-driven accountability system, which can include A-F ratings.
- Reporting: The system collects data to be reported to the state legislature and the public.
- Data management: It allows for the management of student and staff identification data through the Person Identification Database (PID).
-
- Data entry: School districts have staff dedicated to entering and managing PEIMS data, which is often done through specific screens in educational software.
- Reporting: Attendance data, for example, is reported to PEIMS, and districts can access reports to verify the accuracy of the data.
- Special education: Principals and staff use PEIMS codes to track important information for students with special needs, such as instructional settings, discipline codes, and attendance.
