What is EDIT+?
PEIMS EDIT+ is a web-based application that allows the user to send PEIMS data to the Texas Education Agency via the Internet. Validation of the data files is performed on a TEA file server. No validation can be performed before the data files are extracted and sent to TEA using the EDIT+ application and a secure Internet connection between the user and TEA.

Regional Education Service Centers (ESCs) serve as consultants to school districts concerning the accuracy and validity of the PEIMS data.
What is the EDIT+ Process?

The EDIT+ file send/validation/approval process follows these general steps:

  • Districts enter/update data using their respective software systems.
  • District software extracts data from master files into the format specified in the PEIMS Data Standards.
  • Extracted PEIMS data files are uploaded and validated on the TEA EDIT+ file server using the secure file transfer capabilities of the Internet.
  • EDIT+ generates error-listing reports on any errors and warnings detected. Districts correct data within their respective software systems and the information is uploaded again.
  • When the district is satisfied with the results of their data validation, the district data files are flagged and accepted as correct by the district and the ESC personnel are notified.
  • ESC personnel review reports to verify the completeness of each district's data within their region. Errors found by the ESC during the review process are corrected by school districts in a timely manner.
  • When the ESC is satisfied with the results of the data review, the district data files are flagged as complete by ESC and TEA personnel are notified as to the status of the data.
  • PEIMS data files are transferred from the TEA EDIT+ server to the TEA Mainframe. "Turnaround" reports are created and returned to the districts for review.
  • Upon review of the data, Superintendent approval of the PEIMS data submission is sent to the ESC and to TEA.
