The only TSDS record types available for importing are:

  • Organization-District (010) (10010 - LocalEducationAgencyExtension complex type)
  • Organization-Campus (020) (10020 - SchoolExtension complex type)
  • Finance-Budget (030) (20030 - BudgetExtension complex type)
  • Finance-Actual (032) (20032 - ActualExtension complex type) (not used for Submission 1)
  • Finance-SSA Actual (033) (20033 - SharedServiceArrangementExtension complex type) (not used for Submission 1)


IMPORTANT! Only these record types can be imported. All other records are skipped.
