2022 Discipline Data Validation Compliance Reviews

The Data Reporting Compliance Unit (DRCU) within the Information Technology Customer Relationship Management and Data Standards Department examines data submitted through the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) by local educational agencies (LEAs) as well as certain data validation indicators from the Performance-Based Monitoring (PBM) Data Validation System against required data submission standards for compliance. The DRCU works together 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 statute, analyzes discipline data annually to look for potential data anomalies. The 2022 Discipline Data Validation Manual outlined seven indicators. You may retrieve a copy of your LEA’s PBM 2022 Discipline Data Validation (DDV) report to determine if your LEA triggered any 2022 indicators by logging into the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) portal to access the Accountability application. Please contact the PBM Unit with questions specific to these reports, indicators, or their calculations at (512) 463-9704 or at PBM@tea.texas.gov. 

An LEA will have a 2022 Discipline Data Reporting Compliance Review form to complete for each indicator triggered. Forms focus on compliance with the Texas Education Data Standards. An identified LEA is expected to (a) validate and document that its data are correct and address any identified potential program implementation concerns found during the process; or (b) 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 17, 2023. 

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

If you need assistance requesting any access or using the ISAM application, contact your Results Driven Accountability representative at your regional education service center.
