Our monthly ESC 19 TIA Regional Meeting/Updates is scheduled for this time. At this meeting, LEAs can expect to hear about TEA TIA updates relevant to the current TIA process and participate in an open forum to collaborate with fellow Region 19 TIA districts.

A Q&A session will occur. The meeting will span an hour, and an additional half hour is built in should LEAs need more time for networking or hands-on support.

Timely Reminders and Updates


Data Submission Timeline 


System Alignment Review: 10/22-11/21 TEA will review for alignment with the System of Record for the 2024-25 school year. The TIA team may reach out to districts if they have any questions.



SCOMS will open for designation fee payments in mid-November, once a district’s final file has been accepted. We encourage districts to review the Fee Payment Instructions with their district business office and prepare to remit payment by November 21.

The TX SLO & Portfolio Hub – SLO & OER/HQIM Survey collects information about your district’s current and upcoming use of Open Educational Resources (OER) (e.g., Bluebonnet Learning) and High-Quality Instructional Materials (HQIM) (e.g., Amplify K–5, Eureka Math K–5). It also explores how these materials are integrated into your district’s Student Learning Objectives (SLO)/Texas Portfolio process and teacher evaluation systems.


Your feedback will help us tailor future supports and resources across the state.

Please forward this survey to your District Leads to complete.

Texas Value-Added Model (VAM): Now Available


District testing coordinators in TIA districts with an accepted application will receive account information to access the Texas VAM data by mid-September following their Data Capture Year. Once signed in, they can grant access to other district staff. Email tia@tea.texas.org for support with district login information.


The Texas VAM data is what is used for evaluation purposes on Domain B: Checks 2-3 of the data validation process. Districts have the opportunity to use the Texas VAM data to reflect on how they might perform in checks 2 and 3 of the data validation process.
