Legacy PEIMS Data Collection Resources

The submission of data is required of all school districts. The Data Standards provide instructions on the submission of PEIMS data by school districts to the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ. PEIMS data files are submitted four times each school year following a schedule established by the PEIMS Data Standards.

  • Provide descriptions of data elements and the codes used to report them;
  • Describe the responsibilities of school districts, education service centers, and the ÁñÁ«ÊÓÆÁ in connection with the data submission process; and
  • Provide descriptions of the data submission requirements, including submission record layout specifications and data edit specifications.
