Background
The Texas Student Data System (TSDS) PEIMS Fall 2019鈥20 collection is an opportunity to 鈥渃atch up鈥 on reporting IBCs earned by students in prior school years that have not yet been reported to the 人妻诱惑 (人妻诱惑). In previous years, the TSDS PEIMS collection of IBCs was limited to graduates. For the 2019鈥20 Fall Submission, in addition to collecting IBCs for 2019 graduates, IBC reporting will include:

  • IBCs earned by 2019 graduates using the 2019鈥20 IBC list for public school accountability (list of 244) 听
  • IBCs earned prior to the 2019鈥20 academic year for currently enrolled students while in grades 9鈥12 using the 2019鈥20 IBC list for public school accountability (list of 244)听

More than three IBCs may be reported for each graduate or student.

This reporting provides additional information to Performance Reporting for use in the College, Career, and Military Readiness components of the academic accountability system.
