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.

PEIMS Submissions Overview

PEIMS data is collected four times each school year to meet state and federal reporting requirements. Each submission focuses on different data sets:

• Submission 1 – Fall Snapshot
  Includes student enrollment, leaver records, and staff data as of the official snapshot date.

• Submission 2 – Mid-Year
  Reports prior-year financial actual data for the district.

• Submission 3 – Summer
  Captures full-year data including attendance, discipline, and course completion records.

• Submission 4 – Extended Year
  Submitted if applicable, this collection includes data for summer school programs and extended year services.
