TSDS Education Data Warehouse Vision
The TEA data management environment is currently focused on meeting state and federal compliance reporting requirements.
An LEA facing data warehouse will make near real time, actionable data available to educators and relevant stakeholders.
State and federal reporting needs can be met more transparently, using data that LEAs will provide for the Education Data Warehouse (EDW).

Early Childhood Data System is the collection of both PK and KG student data, which includes both student demographic and assessment data.
ECDS is formerly known as the Kindergarten Readiness System (KRS)
KRS data was previously collected using a now obsolete application called OZ Systems
ECDS is the first of several state and federal reporting collections that will be integrated into TSDS.
