II. (Student-only Districts) Import Staff Data

Student-only districts must either enter staff information in District Administration or use the Staff Import utility.

State Reporting > Utilities > Import Staff File

This utility is for Student-only districts.

This utility imports basic staff demographic data to be used for the TSDS PEIMS Staff Interchange records (i.e., to join the unique staff ID with a teacher/staff record). Districts that do not use ASCENDER Business applications can import staff demographic data to be used for the TSDS Staff Interchange records. This utility must be run before running the staff extract.

File layout

The utility accepts data from a comma-delimited text or CSV file (e.g., provided by a third-party business application vendor) and inserts the records into HR tables which allows you to maintain this data in the ASCENDER TSDS application.

The values must be inserted in this order:

Field	Validation
Unique staff ID	Must be ten digits.
Staff ID/SSN	Must be nine digits. Required. First character must be S or 0-8. First three characters must not be 000. Middle characters (3rd-4th digit) must not be 00. Last four characters must not be 0000. First seven characters must not be the same.
Last Name	Required
First Name	Required
Middle Name	Required
Gender	One character (M or F)
Legal Generation	One character 1 = Jr 2 = Sr 3 = II 4 = III 5 = IV 6 = V 7 = VI 8 = VII 9 = VIII A = I B = IX C = X
DOB	Required; format YYYYMMDD
Hispanic Ethnicity	One character (Y or N)
Race American	One character (Y or N) At least one race indicator is required.
Race Asian	One character (Y or N)
Race Black	One character (Y or N)
Race Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander	One character (Y or N)
Race White	One character (Y or N)
Highest Degree	One character 0 = No Bachelor's 1 = Bachelor's 2 = Master's 3 = Doctorate

Original Emp Date	Format YYYYMMDD
Term Date	Format YYYYMMDD

All employees who have a valid Unique Staff ID and were employed at the district on the As-of Date are included.

Selected Students	The field is enabled if you selected all interchanges or a student-related interchange. Type or click the ellipsis to select the students for whom you want to create an interchange. Separate multiple students (Texas unique student IDs) with a comma (e.g., 6895409515,1628657282,2986961713). Leave blank to select all students.
Selected Staff	The field is enabled if you selected all interchanges or a staff-related interchange. Type or click the ellipsis to select the employees for whom you want to create an interchange.

The default name of the zipped folder is District_YYYY-MM-DD.HH-MM-SS.TSDS.zip, where:

District is the six-digit county-district number
YYYY-MM-DD is the date when the folder was created
HH-MM-SS is the hour, minute, and second when the folder was created

The default name for the individual files is District_Campus_Collection_TimeStamp_Interchange.xml, where:

District is the six-digit county-district number
Campus is the three-digit campus ID
Collection is the nine-character collection (ending school year & submission)
TimeStamp is the 12-digit date-time-stamp when the interchange was created (YYYYMMDDHHMM)
Interchange is the name of the interchange created.

Example: 015166_000_2020TSDS_202003031420_InterchangeEducationOrganizationExtension.xml
