What if the Texas public school salary data has duplicated employees or appears inaccurate?
Texas public school districts and charter schools report salary data to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS). The data then goes through an edit process, and the superintendent of the school district signs an acknowledgement that the data is correct to the best of his/her knowledge. However, if the data is incorrect, the agency does not know unless the district reports the error to TEA. Please see the documents at the following link to understand the data submission process; specifically, please review section 8.1 to understand district and state responsibilities for submitting data to the agency; sections 8.2 and 8.3 to understand data collection requirements and definitions; and section 8.5 to understand data checks applied during the submission process:
