Last year, data validation monitoring responsibilities were transferred to the Data Reporting Compliance Unit (DRCU) within the Information Technology Services Business Management Division of the ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó (ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó). The DRCU examines data submitted through Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) by local education 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. ÌýThe DRCU works together with LEAs to improve data submission and support multiple data-driven systems across the ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó.

The PBM Data Validation System, developed in response to state and federal statutes, analyzes leaver records annually to look for potential data anomalies, as required by Texas Education Code (TEC), §39.308. ÌýThe 2019 Leaver Records Data Validation Manual outlined eight indicators. ÌýYou may retrieve a copy of your LEA’s PBM 2019 Leaver Records Data Validation (LRDV) report to determine if your LEA triggered any 2019 indicators by logging into the ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó Login () portal to access the Accountability application. ÌýContact 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 2019 Leaver Records Data Reporting Compliance Review form to complete for each indicator triggered. ÌýForms focus on compliance with the Texas Education Data Standards, and indicators one through five will contain prepopulated student-level data to validate. ÌýIdentified LEAs are expected to: (a) validate and document that the 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. ÌýThe DRCU will make LRDV compliance review forms available to LEAs for download from the Intervention, Stage, and Activity Manager (ISAM) application accessible through ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óL on January 24, 2020.

ISAM is only accessible to authorized users. ÌýYou must first request a ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óL account. ÌýIf you have an existing ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óL account, you may then request access to ISAM. ÌýFurther information and corresponding forms to request ÈËÆÞÓÕ»óL, ISAM, or Accountability access may be found here: /About_ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó/Other_Services/Secure_Applications/ÈËÆÞÓÕ»ó__Secure_Applications_Information/. ÌýIf you need assistance requesting any access or using the ISAM application, contact your PBM representative at your regional education service center.
