Why is PEIMS Accuracy Important?
The Public Information Management System (PEIMS consists of four mandatory yearly data submissions. Confirming the accuracy of your campus's PEIMS data is critical to ensuring that you are submitting a true account of the students served, and the services your campus has provided throughout the year. It is imperative that your campus verify proper student coding to maximize your ADA funding.

PEIMS represents your campus and our district everyday. The better trained staff are, and the more involvement special programs administrators have in this process, the more accurate your data will be. Reporting verified, accurate and valid PEIMS data can help avoid costly and time-consuming TEA interventions. It is important to have attendance procedures in place, and to properly code students receiving special services, to maximize your ADA funding.
