Overview of TSDS submissions

This section provides an overview of the submission periods and groups for the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) extract.

Submission periods

Following are the submission periods supported and the data they include. Each period is maintained in a different environment.

  • Submission 1 - Fall: State of the LEA as of the Fall Snapshot date (last Friday in October). Exception: Leaver data are reported based on leaver status as of the last Friday in September. The budget data is for the current school year.

  • Submission 2 - Midyear: Report of actual financial data for the prior school year. 

  • Submission 3 - Summer: Yearlong student attendance, course completions, disciplinary actions, restraint events, course sections, and teacher class assignments.

  • Submission 4 - Extended Year: Student extended year services, flexible attendance, and dual credit course completions.

Submission groups

Files for the submission periods fall into the following groups:

  • First Submission: The first submission for an environment (fall, mid-year, summer, or extended year).

  • Resubmission: The second submission for any environment.
