PID Enrollment Tracking (PET) OVERVIEW
PET(PID Enrollment Tracking) is an extension of PID in the
Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS)
that dynamically maintains up-to-date enrollment and
withdrawal data for all students in Texas public school
districts. Districts submit enrollment data for students in
grades prekindergarten (PK) through 12 weekly, using
familiar EDIT+ and PID applications and processes. The
enrollment data required are the same as those required for
PID, plus an enrollment and withdrawal date. School districts
have the option of submitting enrollment files extracted from
their student information systems or entering student records
on-line. Districts can search PET to locate students or view
enrollment and withdrawal histories.
State Accountability
The state accountability system is comprised of two sets of proceduresstandards and alternative education. Reports associated with the system
include the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report, School
Report Card (SRC), Snapshot: School District Profiles, Pocket Edition, and
Online Reports, all of which are available on the TEA website. The results of
student performance and participation on state assessments are also
included in the AYP reports, The 2007 Accountability Manual is produced by
TEA and is available at
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/account/2007/manual/index.html
This link also includes procedures for the alternative education accountability
(AEA) system which applies to districts and campuses that register under
alternative education accountability.

Federal Accountability- AYP
 The No Child left behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires
that all public school districts, campuses, and states be
evaluated annually for AYP. The Texas AYP plan,
approved by the United States Department of Education
(USDE), meets NCLB requirements and provides a
mechanism for evaluating districts and campuses. State
results are comprised based on aggregate results for
students and groups statewide. The 2007 Adequate
Yearly Progress Guide is available online at
http://www.tea.state.tx.us/ayp/2007/guide.pdf
Federal Accountability-Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP)
Completion/Dropout/Graduation
 Graduation: districts and Campuses with a Grade 12
 75% Standard- Districts and campuses evaluated for this
indicator must meet the standard or show any
improvement from the prior year.
 (Graduates Only – Does not include continuing students
or GED students. May include early graduates.)
 Evaluated for ‘All Students’ only – Student groups used
for Required Improvement as the other measure for
districts and campuses offering a Grade 12

Performance-Based Monitoring
(PBM)
As a result of legislative action in the 78th Regular legislative
session, various federal programs are reviewed through TEA’s
performance-based Monitoring (PBM). Some underlying strategies
of PBM include a shift away from process to results, a strong
emphasis on data integrity, and new applications of sanctions and
interventions. The division uses performance performance indicators
information from Division of Performance-Based Monitoring, as well
as other data available to the agency, to identify districts and charter
schools with potential concerns related to student performance,
program effectiveness, program compliance, and data integrity.
Additional information regarding PBM may be accessed at

PEIMS
The submission of Public Education Information Management System
(PEIMS) data is required of all school districts. The Data Standards provides
instructions regarding the submission of PEIMS data from school districts to the
Texas Education Agency.
The PEIMS Data Standards is for all persons involved in the PEIMS data collection
process, including school district administrators, special program personnel, data
control personnel, data processing staff, service center coordinators, and others.
The Data Standards is for data delivery only. It should not be construed to represent
the format of data available for retrieval from the PEIMS database
Public Education Information

The submission of Public Education
Information Management System (PEIMS)
data is required of all school districts. The
Data Standards provides instructions
regarding the submission of PEIMS data
from school districts to the Texas
Education Agency.
Texas Public School Systems
Are reviewed by the Texas Education Agency (TEA)
through various accountability systems to evaluate the
performance of districts and campuses. The three
accountability systems are: State Accountability System,
Federal Accountability System-Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP), and Performance – Based Monitoring
(PBM)—which is a state system for reviewing program
compliance and the performance of students
participating in federal programs. These three
accountability systems are not mutually exclusive, rather
they are interrelated. It is important for educators to
understand each accountability system and the
connections among these systems.
