2023–2024 School Year Data Submission for State Performance Plan Indicator (SPPI) 7 and SPPI 13 in the Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) SPP Application

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) will open the 2023-2024 school year State Performance Plan (SPP) application in Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) for data submission of both State Performance Plan Indicator (SPPI) 7 (Preschool Outcomes) and SPPI 13 (Secondary Transition) on April 1, 2024. Local educational agencies (LEAs) must complete their data submissions by August 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM. 

TEA encourages LEAs to begin submitting data to the SPP application as soon as possible. Beginning data submission early in the timeline will help to facilitate a smooth data collection process, allowing TEA and LEAs to ensure that all technical systems are functioning properly and address any policy or data submission questions related to SPPI 7 and SPPI 13. 

Important Dates

• Data Collection Period: July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024 
• SPP Application Opening Date: April 1, 2024 
• SPP Application Closing Date: August 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM 
• Certification Deadline: August 9, 2024, at 11:59 PM 

LEA Responsibilities

1. Data Submission Timeline: LEAs must submit data for all students who meet the inclusion criteria for SPPI 7 and SPPI 13 within the specified data submission period. This data submission is crucial for TEA to accurately reflect statewide performance on these federal indicators. 
2. Certification Requirement: LEAs must designate at least one user with a “Certifier” role to oversee the SPP data submission process. If a designated Certifier for one of the SPP indicators is no longer in their position or employed by the LEA, a new Certifier must be appointed promptly. LEAs are recommended to review and update their TEAL roles regularly to facilitate smooth data submissions for the SPP application by the required deadline. 
3. Certification of Non-Applicable Data: If a campus included in the SPP application has no students meeting the data collection criteria for one of the indicators, then the LEA must certify within the SPP application that “no students meet the data collection criteria” by the data submission deadline. This certification is essential for data reporting accuracy and integrity.
