Peims aUdiT
The Texas Education Code, Section 42.006, requires all school districts to participate in the PEIMS. PEIMS provides
useful, accurate, and timely information on student demographics and academic performance, personnel, and school
district finance. The TEA, the legislature, and other agencies use this information to adequately oversee and evaluate
the public education system.
An internal audit is an assessment tool that will provide a reliable indicator of the quality of your school district’s systems
and processes, identifying problems, risks, and opportunities to better serve the needs of the district while also high-
lighting data-reporting successes.
