If you will be manually entering the staff responsibility data on the TxEIS State Reporting maintenance pages, skip the following steps.
Import Staff Data (for Student-only Districts)
Districts that do not use TxEIS Business applications can import basic staff demographic data to be used for the TSDS Staff Interchange records (i.e., to join the unique staff ID with a teacher/staff record). The import adds “non-employee” data to HR that will be read by the extract, along with data from TxEIS Grade Reporting. This utility must be run before running the staff extract.
State Reporting > Utilities > Import Staff File

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 |

| 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. |

❏ Ensure that all Type 3 (hourly) employees have one of the following:
The fall Staff Extract page will extract data for the StaffAssociationExtension interchange, including staff demographic, payroll accounting, and responsibility data from the master schedule and the Human Resources (HR) application. You can extract subsets of data, multiple times. You can extract from HR only, master schedule only, or both at the same time.
Districts with contracted instructional staff serving as classroom teachers (i.e., PEIMS type 2) will also enter data on TxEIS District Administration > Maintenance > Non-Employee.
NOTE:
When extracting from the master schedule, class ID is set to the course number (four to eight digits) + two-digit section number + one-digit semester number + padding with zeros.
Monthly minutes are determined as follows:
