TSDS PEIMS Fall Submission (Updated 2023-2024)

Prerequisites:

Terminology:

• Verify State Reporting options.

  
  State Reporting > Options
  
  
  
  ❏ Verify that the following is set correctly:
  

  Submission Year	For the 2023-2024 school year, the field must be set to 2024.
  As-of Date	For the 2023-2024 school year, the as-of date is October 27, 2023.
  School Start Window (SSW) Date	For the 2022-2023 school year, this date is September 29, 2023. This is the closing date for the window.

  
  ❏ Verify that local codes are properly set for all applicable local programs.

  These codes should exactly match the codes on Registration > Maintenance > District Profile > Local Program Codes.
  

  
  ❏ Click Save.

• Clear data from the previous year.

  
  State Reporting > Utilities > Delete/Clear PEIMS Tables
  
  

  Prior to extracting any data, all previous fall collection data must be cleared. The Delete/Clear Tables utility allows you to delete all selected previous year data from State Reporting. Use this utility very carefully.

  
  
  

  IMPORTANT:
  Be sure all activities are coordinated so that one group’s data is not inadvertently overwritten. For example, if the Budget office has already created its file and updated State Reporting, their data will be deleted if this utility is run for the fall submission.
  
  Do not delete Responsibilities or Staff Type 3 data if you are still working on the maintenance pages.
  
  Organization Data is manually updated and should not be deleted.
  
  Census Block is NOT automatically checked when Student Data or Fall Collection is selected and must be manually checked.

  
  
  

  
  
  ❏ Select the Fall Collection group box heading which will select all check boxes in that group.

  
  

  CAUTION! Do not select to delete Student Data if the student data for classroom responsibilities has already been extracted.

  
  

  ❏ Click Delete.

  You are prompted to confirm that you want to delete the records.
  
  

  
  
  ❏ Click OK to continue.

  A message is temporarily displayed when the process is finished.
  
  

• Build and update crosswalk tables.

  
  State Reporting > Crosswalks
  
  

  Build any necessary crosswalk tables. For Submission 1, the following tables can be used:
  
  Budget:

  • 040 - From Org to Org
  • 045 - Fund/SO to Prog
  • 046 - Fund to Fund
  • 047 - Obj to Obj
  • 048 - Func to Func
  • 049 - Funds to Omit
  • 055 - Fund/Func/SO to Prog
  • 056 - Fund to Prog
  • 069 - Fund/Prog to Prog

  
  
  Staff:

  • 042 - Responsibilities - From Campus/Period to Minutes
  • 043 - Responsibilities - From Campus/Service ID to Minutes
  • 044 - PE Responsibilities - Campus/Crs/Sec (not available for Business-only users)

  
  
  Crosswalks are retained from year to year. If tables exist from prior years, ensure that they are up to date.
  
  Staff Responsibilities 042 and 043 Notes:
  
  Crosswalk tables allow you to define periods and service IDs and used to calculate monthly minutes. Using crosswalks is recommended, particularly for campuses that use a modified block schedule.
  
  The service ID and period at the campus must be unique in the table. You can only create one record per period per campus in each crosswalk table, and you can only create one record per service ID per campus in each table.
  
  If you use crosswalk tables to calculate instructional minutes, leave the Time Begin and Time End fields blank on Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Section for each section at the campus. When the fields are blank, the crosswalk tables are used.
  
  You can enter Time Begin and Time End for some sections and leave others blank.
  
  

  The staff responsibility extract will always use data from the section record if it exists, even if a crosswalk exists.
  
  If the Time Begin and Time End fields are blank, the extract program looks at the Responsibilities - From Campus/Service ID to Minutes crosswalk. If that crosswalk is blank, the program looks at the Responsibilities - From Campus/Period to Minutes crosswalk.
  
  The monthly minutes value is calculated as follows:
  
  

  (Number of minutes of the class (period)) x (number of days in the week the class meets) x (Number of weeks in the month the class meets)
  
  Examples:
  
  A class taught for one hour every day:
  
  (60 minutes of the class) x (5 days per week) x (4 weeks per month) = 1200
  
  A class taught for one hour three times per week:
  
  (60 minutes of the class) x (3 days per week) x (4 weeks per month) = 720
  
  Note that four weeks per month is the default, because there are generally four weeks prior to the fall snapshot date.

  
  
  

  
  

  Create 042 - Responsibilities - From Campus/Period to Minutes crosswalk:

  
  
  

  ❏ In the Crosswalk Table field, select 042-Responsibilities - From Campus/Period to Minutes.
  
  ❏ Any existing data is displayed. Add and delete data as needed.

  • In the From field, type the three-digit campus ID and a two-digit period (e.g., for campus 001 and period 01, type 00101).
  • In the To field, type the monthly minutes value. Zero-fill the value to five digits (e.g., 000940).

  
  
  ❏ Click Save.
  
  

  Block Schedule Example (A/B bell schedule):
  
  
  
  A Day: Periods are 1-4. In weeks 1 and 3, classes meet 3 days per week. In weeks 2 and 4, classes meet 2 days per week.
  
  B Day: Periods are 5-8. In weeks 1 and 3, classes meet 2 days per week. In weeks 2 and 4, classes meet 3 days per week.
  
  Classes are 85 minutes each day.
  
  Monthly minutes calculation:
  
  (85 x 3 days x 2 weeks) + (85 x 2 days x 2 weeks)
  
  85 x 5 x 2 = 850 minutes

  
  
  

  Create 043 - Responsibilities - From Campus/Service ID to Minutes crosswalk:

  
  
  ❏ In the Crosswalk Table field, select 043-Responsibilities - From Campus/Service ID to Minutes. Click Retrieve.
  
  ❏ Any existing data is displayed. Add and delete data as needed.

  • In the From field, type the three-digit campus ID and the service ID (e.g., 10102010000).
  • In the To field, type the monthly minutes value. Zero-fill the value to five digits (e.g., 04800).

  
  
  ❏ Click Save.

  
  
  

  Create 044 - PE Responsibilities - Campus/Crs/Sec crosswalk:

  This crosswalk allows you to enter the number of days and minutes in which the PE teacher provides physical education instruction each week at the campus for the four weeks in October that include the last Friday in October. This is required for all teachers of record for course-sections associated with the following physical education (PE) service IDs:

  02530002
  02530003
  02530004
  02530005
  02530006
  02530007
  02530008
  02850000
  03823000
  82210XXX
  82931XXX
  83210XXX
  84200XXX
  PES00051
  PES00053
  PES00056

  All districts will use this crosswalk, except for Business-only districts whose responsibility records come from Human Resources, or if PE service IDs are not used for PE courses, or if your PE service ID courses do not have students.
  
  

  Important: Minutes for any holidays should be included.
  
  

  NOTE:
  
  These fields are not reported for employees with PE substitution responsibilities (i.e., employees with service IDs PES00000-PES00015).
  
  

  Records are created for non-campus-based PE courses (i.e., Non Campus Based is greater than 00 in the campus master schedule) if the course is taught during semester 1 and at least one student is enrolled in the class.
  
  

  This crosswalk is not used for Business-only districts whose responsibility records come from Personnel, or if PE service IDs are not used for PE courses, or if your PE service ID courses do not have students. All other districts should use this crosswalk.

  
  

  
  
  

  ❏ In the Crosswalk Table field, select 044-PE Responsibilities - Campus/Crs/Sec.
  
  ❏ The first time you access the page, there will be rows from the previous year displayed. Click Delete then click Create to add current year courses.

  A list of course-sections associated with physical education (PE) service IDs is listed. This list is predefined and cannot be changed.
  
  The From column lists course-sections in the campus-course-section format, where:

  • The first three digits are the campus ID.
  • The next digits are the course number, which may contain between four and eight digits.
  • The last two digits are the section number.
  • The course-sections are for semester 1.

  
  
  ❏ For the Teacher of Record for each course-section listed, enter the following information for the four weeks in October that include the last Friday in October:

  • In the Day Week 1-4 fields, type the number of days in which the employee provides physical education instruction each week at the campus. Valid entries are one digit between 0-5.
    
    
  • In the Mins Week 1-4 fields, type the number of minutes the employee provides physical education instruction each week at the campus. Valid entries are up to four digits between 0-3000.
    
    

  These fields are automatically populated according to the Days code entered on Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Section for each course-section meeting time. The program calculates the minutes in the days from the section Time Begin/End and sums for each meeting time the days per week for that meeting time, then multiplies the minutes per day for that meeting time to calculate the minutes for each week.

  
  
  ❏ Click Save.
  
  ❏ Click Print to print the data displayed.
  
  ❏ If new PE responsibilities records are found the next time you access the page, the Create button will be replaced with the Refresh button. Click Refresh to add new records to the grid.
  
  

  NOTE: You cannot delete data row by row. You must click Delete to delete all rows on the page. Then, click Create to populate the page with PE course-sections. Then, you can re-enter all data.
  
  WARNING: If you click Delete, all rows are deleted.

  • Staff extract:

    
    If you will be manually entering the staff responsibility data on the ASCENDER State Reporting maintenance pages, skip the following steps.
    
    Import Staff Data (for Student-only Districts)
    
    Districts that do not use ASCENDER 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 ASCENDER Grade Reporting. This utility must be run before running the staff extract.
    
    State Reporting > Utilities > Import Staff File
    
    
    
    

    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.

    Print the error report. If errors occurred, the line number in the file will correspond to the record that caused the error. Review the report using the following buttons: Click to go to the first page of the report. Click to go back one page. Click to go forward one page. Click to go to the last page of the report. The report can be viewed and saved in various file formats. Click to save and print the report in PDF format. Click to save and print the report in CSV format. (This option is not available for all reports.) When a report is exported to the CSV format, the report headers may not be included. Click to close the report window. Some reports may have a Close Report, Exit, or Cancel button instead.

    
    
    

    Before Extracting Staff Data:
    
    

    ❏ Verify and correct data in the master schedule as described in the Verify Master Schedule Data section of this guide.
    
    ❏ Ensure that all inactive employees have a termination date entered (Termination - Date and Reason fields on Human Resources > Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data > Employment Info). If the Reason field is blank, the employee is not extracted.
    
    ❏ Student workers who do not meet the eligibility requirements for TRS should be excluded from PEIMS staff reporting. Those who are eligible will be reported as staff AND as student, but will retain their status as a student in the Unique ID Database.
    
    NOTE: It is best practice at the district level that for a student worker, the district should use the information from their birth certificate and not their SS card (sometimes it is different). If the district follows this practice with student workers, they should not get a discrepancy. All other staff use their SS card to determine name.
    
    ❏ Ensure that all Type 3 (hourly) employees have an estimated annual salary (Payroll > Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data > Job Info) and distribution (Payroll > Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data > Distribution).
    
    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 Personnel application. You can extract subsets of data, multiple times. You can extract from Personnel only, master schedule only, or both at the same time.
    
    Districts with contracted instructional staff serving as classroom teachers (i.e., PEIMS Type 3) will also enter data on ASCENDER 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.
    
    

    • Class ID is only repeated if more that one instructor is assigned to the same course-section (e.g., assistant or support teacher).
      
      
    • If Class Type is blank in the district master schedule, the extract will use 01 - Regular.
      
      

    Monthly minutes are determined as follows:
    
    

    • If Time Begin and Time End on Grade Reporting > Maintenance > Master Schedule > Campus Schedule > Section contain values, monthly minutes are calculated from the begin and end times, days of week, and weeks of month code.
      
      
    • If Time Begin and Time End are blank, monthly minutes are set to the value in the Campus/Service ID crosswalk table.
      
      
    • If Time Begin and Time End are blank and the Campus/Service ID crosswalk table does not exist, the monthly minutes are set to the value in the Campus/Period crosswalk table.
      
      
    • If Time Begin and Time End are blank and neither the Campus/Service ID crosswalk table nor the Campus/Period crosswalk table exist, an error message is displayed.
      
      
    • See the Verify Master Schedule Data section of this guide for more information.
      
      

    If a district has responsibility data in both HR and the master schedule, and the options to extract from both sources are selected, the following occurs:
    
    

    • Existing staff responsibility records in TSDS are deleted (unless you selected the option to update class counts only).
      
      
    • Staff responsibility records are extracted from the master schedule.
      
      
    • Staff responsibility records are extracted from Human Resources. Only new records are added. If a record with the same key already exists in TSDS, the record from HR is not written, an error is displayed the summary report for the Human Resources record.

    
    
    

    Extract staff data:
    
    State Reporting > Extracts > Fall > Staff
    
    
    
    

    Ending School Year	(Display only) The submission year as entered in the Submission Year field on State Reporting > Options is displayed.
    PEIMS Fall As-of Date	(Display only) The fall as-of date is displayed, as entered in the As-of Date field on State Reporting > Options.

    
    ❏ Under Demographic Data:
    

    Staff Demo Records from HR

    This option is only displayed if you have access to Personnel. Select to delete all existing staff data and extract demographic data from Personnel. If selected, all existing staff records are deleted from the following tables: Staff Demo and Experience, Payroll, Classroom Responsibilities, and Nonclassroom Responsibilities. • Staff records with pay type 1 are extracted. • Staff records with pay type 2 or 3 are extracted if the employee status is 1 - active professional, 2 - active auxiliary per, 3 - retired, or 8 - temporary. • Staff records with pay type 4 are extracted if the employee status is A - long term substitute and the TRS Member Position is 02. This option may only need to be selected the first time you extract data, unless changes in Personnel have occurred since the last time you extracted data.

    
    ❏ Under Responsibilities:

    Extract from Grade Reporting

    These option is only available if you have access to ASCENDER Grade Reporting. Classroom Responsibilities from Master Schedule Select to delete all existing classroom responsibility records in State Reporting and extract records from the master schedule. The role ID and population served data is extracted from the campus section records. If these do not exist at the campus level, they are extracted from the district records. If selected, you cannot select Retain Classroom Responsibility Records; you must select one or the other. Update Class Counts from Master Schedule (Optional) Select to update the number of students in the classroom responsibility records for the teacher of record (i.e., class role=01) according to the number of students enrolled in the section on the fall snapshot date. For teachers with class role 02 (i.e., assistant teacher) or 03 (i.e., support teacher), the number of students is set to 0. Retain Classroom Responsibility Records Select to re-extract demographic data without deleting and re-extracting classroom responsibility data. A district would select this option if it has extracted responsibility records from the master schedule, and the records are ready to submit to TEA, but the district needs to re-extract staff data from HR. This option is only available if you have access to the HR application. Select this option if Staff Responsibilities records have been extracted from either HR or Grade Reporting. Select this option if Staff Responsibilities records are not extracted from both HR and Grade Reporting at the same time. If you do not select this option, previously extracted records will be deleted. If selected, you cannot select Classroom Responsibilities from Master Schedule; you must select one or the other. Use Max Seats if No Students Enrolled (Optional) Select to extract the maximum number of seats on the section record if no students are enrolled in the section. This field is used by campuses that create responsibility records from the master schedule, but do not assign schedules to students. Leave blank if you do not want to create responsibility records for sections with no students enrolled.

    Extract from Personnel

    This data is extracted from Personnel for both Student and Business users. These options are only displayed if you have access to ASCENDER Personnel. Nonclassroom responsibilities data should be entered in Personnel. If the district does not use the master schedule to create classroom responsibilities data, the classroom responsibilities data should also be entered in Personnel. Non-Classroom Responsibilities Select to delete all existing non-classroom responsibility data in State Reporting and extract data from Personnel. Classroom Responsibilities Select to extract classroom responsibilities from Personnel. If selected, records are only added to the frozen records; existing responsibilities are not deleted or updated, unless: Staff Demographic Records from Personnel is selected and Retain Classroom Responsibility Records is not selected, or Classroom Responsibilities from Master Schedule is selected. Only role IDs with instructional responsibilities (002, 007, 015, 016, 017, 018, 021, 026, 032, 033, 036, 047, and 087 (e.g., instructional aides, speech therapists, etc)) are extracted. You must select this option if any instructional responsibilities are entered in Personnel.

    
    ❏ Under Payroll Data:
    
    

    This section is only available if you have access to the ASCENDER Business system. To use the crosswalk tables, the tables must be built prior to extracting data.
    

    Fiscal Year	Select the ending year of the fiscal year that you are reporting. For example, for the 2023-2024 school year, select 4.
    Payroll Records	Select to delete all existing payroll records and extract records from Payroll.
    Payroll Freq	Select the payroll frequency to include in the extract. Only frequencies you have access to are listed.
    Include Acct Type 'S' Distrib	Select to extract supplemental distributions (account type S).

  When calculating contracted instructional staff FTEs, the following items must be considered:

  • The percent of the day worked (number of hours worked divided by the number of work hours in the standard day),
  • The percent of days per week worked (number of days worked divided by 5), and
  • The percentage of weeks worked (the number of weeks worked divided by the number of weeks in the work year).
  • Round up to the nearest hundredth (e.g., 9.721 FTEs is reported as 00973).
    

  
  
  For example, Mrs. Ramirez is hired on a contracted instructional staff basis to teach the tuba to three tuba players. Her contract specifies that she will work two hours each Monday and each Friday for the entire school year. Her FTE is 0.25 (two hours worked divided by the eight hour work day in the district) multiplied by 0.40 (two days divided by five days) multiplied by 1.0 (36 weeks worked divided by the 36 week instructional year), for a reported FTE of 0.10.

• Update census block data.

  1. Create a file for the purposes of assigning a Census Block GEO ID.

     
     State Reporting > Utilities > TEA Census Block > Export Address
     
     

     IMPORTANT: This utility must be run in the Firefox browser. This utility allows you to create a file for the purposes of assigning a Census Block GEO ID.
     
     NOTE: Users will use the Census Block Group Tool to look up a census block number for a single address, or upload a .CSV file with multiple addresses to which the system applies a census block number. For additional information and instructions on how to download the Census Block Group Tool, login to the TSDS Portal (TEA Login (TEAL)) and refer to the TSDS Census Block Group Tool User Guide PDF.

     ❏ Click Missing/Invalid Data Report.

     A report opens that provides a list of students not eligible for the census block export due to errors.
     
     Students are included on the report if they are ineligible due to any of the following conditions:
     
     

     • Blank UID - The column displays Yes for students with a blank Texas Unique Student ID.
     • Homeless - The column displays Yes if the student is homeless.
     • Invalid Address - The column displays Yes if the student has an invalid physical address.
     • ADA Eligibility - The column displays Yes if the student's code is 0, 4, 5, or 8 (by PEIMS As-of date). The student's code must be 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, or 9 (as of the PEIMS date).
     

     
     
     ❏ Click Execute.

     A .csv file is generated that can be exported to the TEA to obtain census block data for eligible students who do not have it. The file contains the student's Texas Unique Student ID and physical address (street number and name, city, state, and zip code).
     
     

     ---

     IMPORTANT: The TEA-calculated file must complete in text format and must be saved Save as Type .CSV (comma delimited) to import.

  2. Import file to assign Census Block GEO ID to eligible students.

     
     State Reporting > Utilities > TEA Census Block > Import Census Block
     
     

     IMPORTANT: This utility must be run in the Firefox browser. This utility allows you to import a .csv file of Census Block GEO ID to assign the Census Block data to eligible students. This automatically populates the Student Census Block field on State Reporting > Maintenance > Fall > Student > Demo.

     ❏ Save the file as a .csv file with a unique name (e.g., ASCENDERISD_CENSUS_BLOCK.csv).
     
     ❏ Click Browse to locate and select the .csv file provided by the TEA.
     
     ❏ Click Import.

     Records are created in the census block table that contain the student's social security number and GEO ID.

     
     
     ❏ Click Print Report to view the file and any errors. The number of records updated or inserted in the census block table is also included.
     
     

     ---

     NOTE:
     This process also applies if you changed the address for one or several students, putting them into a different block:
     
     ❏ Add the student(s) to TEA spreadsheet and calculate.
     ❏ Created a new TEA .csv with only that one student (or several students).
     ❏ Import the file.

• Correct frozen data.

  
  

  You may find extracted or merged records containing incomplete or inaccurate information. Use the State Reporting fall maintenance pages to update and correct the data saved in the district database (i.e., frozen data). These pages provide many of the rules defined in the TWEDS to help ensure that the data entered will be accepted.
  
  

  NOTE: Data on these pages is updated every time data is extracted, including data that is manually entered.

  
  

  NOTE: You cannot maintain data on maintenance pages while running an extract; a warning message is displayed on all fall maintenance pages indicating that the extract is in progress, and the Save button is disabled.

  The Create TSDS PEIMS Interchanges utility creates the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Interchanges from the data in the ASCENDER State Reporting tables. You can create all of the interchanges at once, or you can individually select the interchange you wish to create.
  
  You must submit the created interchanges to TSDS in the following order:
  
  1. Education Organization - Education organizations (ESC, LEA, and Campus) and their structure.
  2. Student - Student basic information and demographics.
  3. StudentEnrollment - Student enrollment data for a campus.
  4. StaffAssociation - Exchange standard for reporting staff data.
  5. StudentProgram - Links students to programs.
  6. SharedServicesArrangementOrganization - The education organization to which another education organization (fiscal agent) provides services
  7. Finance - The educational organization’s financial data.

  Collection	Select the submission period. For example, select Fall1 if this is the first fall submission. If you are resubmitting fall data, select Fall2.
  Ending School Year	(Display only) The submission year as entered in the Submission Year field on State Reporting > Options is displayed.

  
  The interchanges are listed according to the Collection field.
  
  ❏ Select All Collection Interchanges (e.g., All Fall Interchanges) to create all interchanges for the selected collection period.

  Or, select the individual interchange you want to create.

  
  

  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. Separate multiple employees (Texas unique staff IDs) with a comma (e.g., 4732877094,2568052155). Leave blank to select all staff.

  
  ❏ Click Run.

  When the process is complete, you are prompted to save a .zip file containing the individual files for the completed interchanges.
  
  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

  Example: 015102-2023-11-11.15-30-23.TSDS.zip

  
  
  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: 015116_000_2023FALL1_202311111420_InterchangeStudentProgramExtension.xml

  
  
  If errors are encountered:

  1. Correct the data in ASCENDER.
  2. Run the Delete/Clear Tables utility to delete or clear previous data for the desired tables.
  3. Re-extract the data.
  4. Create the interchanges again.

  
  
  

  
  ❏ Submit the data to TSDS.
