Core Collection: Special Education Data System (SPEDS) - Summer (IN WORKS)
The Special Education Data System (SPEDS) Collection is a data collection used by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to gather data for some State Performance Plan (SPP) indicators.
The SPEDS - Summer Submission joins together the Early Childhood Outcomes (SPPI-7), Timely Initial Evaluation and Eligibility Determination (SPPI-11), Early Childhood Transition (SPPI-12), and Secondary Transition (SPPI-13) indicators into one submission.
The SPEDS submission is due July 30, 2026.
IMPORTANT: Some of the images and/or examples provided in this document are for informational purposes only and may not completely represent your LEA’s process.
For a complete list of submission rules and edits, access the TSDS Web-Enabled Data Standards (TWEDS) website. In the top-right corner, select the appropriate School Year (20XX), Collection (XXXX), and Submission (XXX) and click Open.
Once on the TWEDS website, in the Overview tab, you can review Collections, Timelines (DUE DATES), and Data Submission Responsibilities. It is highly important to ensure that you review all of these details as they may change according to the School Year.
Additionally, you can use the other tabs on the TWEDS website to review Data Components, Descriptor Tables, References, Rules, Change Logs, and Early Notices.
Registration
Registration > Maintenance > Core Collections
Child Find: SPPI-11 and Child Find: SPPI-12 are located under Registration > Maintenance > Core Collections. There are four scenarios for reporting students:
• Timely Initial Evaluation: SPPI-11 Scenario 1 for Enrolled Students, ages 3-21
• Timely Initial Evaluation: SPPI-11 Scenario 2 for Non-Enrolled Students, ages 3-21
• Timely Initial Evaluation: SPPI-12 Scenario 3 for Enrolled Students, ages 0 and up to, but not including, 3.
• Timely Initial Evaluation: SPPI-12 Scenario 4 for Non-Enrolled Students, ages 0 and up to, but not including, 3.
NOTE: For the 2025–2026 school year, data for these indicators will be entered in the system within the Registration application using the current Child Find fields and screens. In the future, the Child Find screens will be renamed and relocated to the Special Education application.
- Timely Initial Evaluation (SPPI-11) (formerly part of TSDS Child Find)
NOTE: For the 2025-2026 school year XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX but for school year 2026-2027 will change to Timely Initial Evaluation.
SPPI-11 (Timely Initial Evaluation) refers to compliance with the state-established timeframes (19 TAC §89.1011) for evaluating children, ages 3-21, for special education under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
LEAs will submit student-level data for children who had an eligibility determination (ED) date during the annual data collection period which occurs from July 1 to June 30.
SPPI-11 (Timely Initial Evaluation) is a compliance indicator used for meeting federal public reporting requirements for the State Performance Plan/Annual Performance Report (SPP/APR). It is also part of the federally required elements (FREs) used along with the results-driven accountability (↠) indicators for making annual LEA special education determinations (34 CFR §300.600(a)(2)).- Timely Initial Evaluation (SPPI-11) - Scenario 1: Enrolled Students, ages 3-21

• ECSE (Early Childhood Outcomes (SPPI-7))
• Secondary Transition (SPPI-13)
- Early Childhood Outcomes (SPPI-7)
Special Education > Maintenance > Student Sp Ed Data > SPEDS > ECSE
SPPI-7 measures the demonstrated improvement for preschool children aged three through five with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) in the following areas:
- Positive social-emotional skills (including social relationships).
- Acquisition and use of knowledge and skills (including early language/communication and early literacy); and
- Use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs.
Local education agencies (LEAs) utilize the Childhood Outcomes Summary (COS) Process to document children's progress in the three outcomes. LEAs report these outcomes using a specific rating category on a seven-point scale at entry and exit of all students aged three through five (not in kindergarten) who receive early childhood special education (ECSE) services for six months or more during the school year.
NOTE: There are no system restrictions on this screen. Users are able to add information, however once data is sent, users may receive a fatal error since the student does not meet the criteria for that indicator.
