The Office of Research and Evaluation / Computer Services has three areas of responsibilities. The first area of responsibility is coordinating the district’s testing program which includes following all state mandated testing policies and procedures, maintaining test security, and reporting test results to the school board and community. Secondly, all data reported to the Texas Education Agency through the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) is reviewed for accuracy and submitted by our department. This information along with test data results are presented at a public hearing in a report entitled Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS). The third area of responsibility is providing for maintenance of all main system applications which includes training, support, and updates to existing programs.
