Performance-Based Monitoring

The Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) staff in the Performance Reporting Division designs a comprehensive PBM system to improve student performance and program effectiveness. The PBM system is a data-driven system reliant on data submitted by districts. Confirming the accuracy of data is a critical part of the process necessary to validate and safeguard the integrity of the overall PBM system. PBM provides data processing and reports for annual program monitoring, risk analyses and data validation.

The PBM system includes annual data validation analyses that examine districts' leaver and dropout records, discipline data, and student assessment data. Additional data analyses, including random audits, are conducted as necessary to ensure the data submitted to the Texas Education Agency are accurate and reliable.
