For your PEIMS data to be completed correctly, the information in AskTED
must be current and correct.
- This information is used to print the Texas School Directory.
- Address, phone, fax, email, and staff information from AskTED is used
for mailing labels and communication between districts and TEA.

Deputy Commissioners, and other Agency staff. This email address is
for TEA use only.
