Why Getting it Right Matters
In CTE, programmatic success isn't built in a silo. It thrives at the intersection of three critical pillars: PEIMS data, which drives State & Federal Funding, and A–F Accountability. When these three elements align, districts unlock maximum resources, protect their budgets, and accurately showcase student success.
Example: If your CTE Director expands an advanced welding program (Accountability), but the Business Office doesn't code the teacher’s salary to PIC 22 (Funding), or the PEIMS Coordinator uses an outdated course code (Data), the district loses money and performance credit.
This page shows how the cycle works—and why a mistake in one area breaks the entire chain. ESC Region 14 is here to bridge that gap. We bring your curriculum, finance, and data teams together to sync calendars, audit codes, and ensure that every student's hard work turns into fully realized funding and exemplary accountability ratings.

Coding within PEIMS is the mechanism used to identify, track, and report the specific components of a student's CTE journey.
PEIMS Numbers for Courses: Every course in the Texas CTE course guide is assigned a unique PEIMS number. These numbers are essential for identifying the 277 available CTE courses and ensuring they are part of a coherent sequence within a program of study.

Mapping and Methodology: PEIMS data is used to map out concentrators and completers across the state. This coding allows the TEA to provide a mapping application that reflects how many students are successfully progressing through specific career clusters and programs of study.
