Approval Of Texas Education Agency Login Access For Superintendent Designee
body
The Houston Independent School District (HISD) School Board is requested to approve the designation of Travis Hunt, Director of Program Compliance for the Department of System Fidelity and Reporting, as the alternate to the superintendent for purposes of obtaining Texas Education Agency Login (TEAL) access to the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) portal for HISD (Organization 101912).
TEAL is the Texas Education Agency (TEA) gateway application that provides secure access to TEA applications, including the Education Connection Operations System (ECOS), Texas Records Exchange (TREx), and TSDS. Certain roles within TEAL-including the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) data approver role-are restricted to superintendent-level authorization. When an individual other than the superintendent requires this level of access, TEA requires the district to provide board meeting minutes designating that individual as an authorized alternate to the superintendent.
In his role as director of Program Compliance, Travis Hunt is responsible for overseeing data submission, reporting, and approval functions on behalf of HISD. Board approval of this item will authorize his designation as alternate to the superintendent, fulfilling the TEA requirement and enabling uninterrupted access to critical student data and PEIMS reporting systems.
