Overview of TSDS submissions

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.

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