Yes. During a specified period of time each year, TED administrators can choose one of two school years to which changes will apply: the current school year or the coming school year. Please refer to the online help "Important AskTED User Considerations," available to district TED administrators in AskTED Administration.
TED Administrators and Superintendents are the only roles recognized by TEA to request new campus IDs. If other district personnel contact TEA asking for a new campus ID, we route the request back to the district TED administrator for authorization.
Please refer to How to Request a New Campus ID.

Note: |
For requests applying to the current school year, September 1 is the deadline for requesting to add a new campus as Active (except for a new disciplinary alternative education program [DAEP] or juvenile justice alternative education program [JJAEP] campus). This helps ensure time for processing before the Texas Student Data System (TSDS) Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS) class roster and charter waitlist collections. Such requests are typically processed over the summer, after the school year ends, and before the new school year begins. Contact the TEA TED Administrator at AskTED@tea.texas.gov or (512) 463-9809. For requests applying to the upcoming school year, requests to add a new campus as Active that are received before August 15 may not be processed until after the public release of accountability ratings. For any campus number request involving a campus with an overall D or F rating or identified for comprehensive support and improvement under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), districts and charter schools must first consult with the TEA Office of Governance and Accountability. Each such request is then reviewed by an agency campus number committee. For these reasons, as well as the deadline for campus status change requests, all campus number requests involving D- or F-rated campuses or campuses identified for comprehensive support and improvement must be received no later than August 16. |
TED Administrators and Superintendents are the only roles authorized to request these changes. Contact the TEA TED Administrator at AskTED@tea.texas.gov and, in the body of the message, state the campus name, the 9-digit campus ID, and the requested change. The TEA TED administrator updates AskTED as requested and confirms changes by return email.
