    The Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) is a comprehensive data collection system used by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to gather a wide range of information on public education in Texas. This data includes:

    • Student Information: Enrollment, demographics, attendance, course completion, and graduation details.
    • Teacher and Staff Information: Demographics, assignments, and certifications.
    • Financial Data: Budget, revenue, and expenditure details of school districts.
    • Program Participation: Data on participation in special programs such as bilingual education, special education, gifted and talented programs, and career and technical education.
    • School and District Characteristics: Information about the physical and operational characteristics of schools and districts.

    PEIMS data is used for various purposes, including funding allocation, accountability measures, and policy-making. The system ensures consistent data reporting across all public schools in Texas. The collection of PEIMS data is required of all Local Education Agencies (LEAs) by TEC §48.009. 

    PEIMS data is collected four times each school year. The submissions are:

    • Submission 1 - PEIMS Fall Snapshot (including student leaver) data,
    • Submission 2 - Mid-Year (prior year financial Actual) data,
    • Submission 3 - Summer (school year attendance, discipline, course completion) data, and
    • Submission 4 - Extended Year (summer program) data, when applicable to the LEA.
