ECDS Submission Step by Step Process
Click to edit Master title style1. Obtain ECDS assessment xml files from vendor
Beginning with the 18-19 SY, the LEA’s assessment vendor will provide the ECDS assessment data directly to the LEA in TEDS-compliant XML format. The LEA will load the assessment data files into TSDS.
TEA has worked closely with the TSDS assessment vendors to determine their readiness and ability to provide this data in a TEDS-compliant format. TEA has conducted multiple webinars and conference calls with TSDS vendors to provide guidance and validation of their extractor outputs. TEA is willing and able to assist any vendor needing assistance.
ECDS Contact: Please contact your ECDS Assessment vendors to ensure that they will be able to provide you with the xml files
