Texas Student Data System (TSDS)
The Texas Student Data System (TSDS), a major initiative by the Â鶹Դ´, is a statewide system that modernizes and improves the quality of data collection, management, and reporting in Texas education
- TSDS modernizes the PEIMS data collection process to reduce technology risk and system downtime allowing for more system availability and ease of use.
- It puts real-time student performance data in the hands of educators to improve student achievement.
- TSDS will become the one common data collection platform for Â鶹Դ´ to reduce the data collection burden on districts and charter schools.
The links on this page will take you to the website, which provide information on key systems and concepts in TSDS:
– a district-facing database the allows LEAs to store data in a central place and use it for multiple reporting purposes
– a tiered system that provides first-line training to the ESCs
– more detailed and technical information on TSDS
- technical user guides for the TSDS Data Collection
– a collection of data standards for loading data to the EDW on its way to TSDS PEIMS and other TSDS data collections
– a publicly accessible, aggregated, FERPA-compliant longitudinal data warehouse that links students from pre-K through enrollment and graduation from Texas colleges (P-20)
– the software application for the state's Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) that allows LEAs to load, validate, and submit their mandatory reporting data
- the software application that houses all other Â鶹Դ´ data collections in TSDS, such as the Early Childhood Data System (ECDS)
– an identity management system that creates randomly generated unique identifiers to support all the subsystems of TSDS and to provide cleaner longitudinal education data
