2023 Discipline Data Validation Compliance Reviews

The Data Reporting Compliance Unit (DRCU) within the Information Technology Customer Relationship Management and Data Standards Department reviews data submitted through the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) by local educational agencies (LEAs) and the data validation indicators from the Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) Data Validation System against required data submission standards for compliance. The DRCU works with LEAs to improve data submission and support multiple data-driven systems across the Texas Education Agency.

The PBM Data Validation System, developed in response to state and federal statutes, analyzes discipline data annually to look for potential data anomalies. The 2023 Discipline Data Validation Manual outlined seven indicators. You may retrieve a copy of your LEA’s PBM 2023 Discipline Data Validation (DDV) report to determine if your LEA triggered any 2023 indicators by logging into the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) portal to access the Accountability application. For questions about the reports, indicators, or their calculations, contact the PBM Unit at (512) 463-9704 or PBM@tea.texas.gov.

An LEA will have a 2023 Discipline Data Reporting Compliance Review form to complete for each indicator triggered. Forms focus on compliance with the Texas Education Data Standards, and indicators one through four will contain populated student-level data to validate. Identified LEAs are expected to (1) validate and document that their data are correct and address any identified potential program implementation concerns found during the process and (2) improve local data collection and submission procedures if the LEA’s identification occurred because of incorrect data. The DRCU will make DDV compliance review forms available to LEAs for download from the Intervention, Stage, and Activity Manager (ISAM) application accessible through TEAL on March 5, 2024.

ISAM is only accessible to authorized users. You must first request a TEAL account. If you have an existing TEAL account, you may request ISAM access. Further information and corresponding forms to request TEAL, ISAM, or Accountability access may be found here.

Please contact the Results Driven Accountability representative (Appendix C of PBM Discipline Manual) at your regional educational service center if you need assistance requesting access or using the ISAM application.
