With the transition to TSDS Ed-Fi API reporting of all TSDS PEIMS and Core Submission data there are some vendors that are either NOT reporting Summer Attendance data in the API yet OR the data reporting is not verified by the vendor as accurate at this time.
In these instances, please review the follow resources as to options or clarifications on reviewing 24-25 Summer Attendance data in OnDataSuite.
- Start with identifying and understanding what data is currently flowing from your SIS into the TEA IODS and ultimately into OnDataSuite https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/what-data-is-flowing-from-the-tea-iods-into-ondatasuite/ (note the API_Summer Info reference).
- Confirm with your Vendor and/or PEIMS Coordinator the processes and data status.
- Reference the attendance data reported and affects on Finance – Summary of Finance reporting. https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/what-files-are-needed-for-the-hb3-funding-reports-to-populate-for-current-year/
- Alternative 24-25 Summer XML estimate option – https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/how-to-reference-24-25-summer-peims-xml-for-attendance-reporting/ **Disclaimer – any XML Summer reporting is NOT updated for 24-25 reporting changes and will vary vendor to vendor as to how they allow or maintain the XML extracts.
- There are variances in the reporting of Summer Attendance between Student Reporting and Finance Reporting depending upon the following options available:
- https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/tea-ed-fi-iods-connection-2/ – scroll to PEIMS Summer Submission Settings for more details – This will affect both Student and Finance related reporting.
- https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/finance-reporting-period-override/ – Specific to Finance Summary of Finance reporting of Attendance ADA/FTE related calculations.
OnDataSuite began processing Preliminary 24-25 Ed-Fi API Summer Attendance data into the Finance – Summary of Finance reporting in September, 2024.
Utilizing these various views of 24-25 Summer Attendance data earlier than later is highly advised – especially the Ed-Fi Summer Attendance.
