In honor of TEA’s Oz-themed sessions at the PEIMS Academy, our episode title references not being in Kansas anymore.

Today’s panelists include RISE Award winner Karen Holyfield, PEIMS Director from Gilmer ISD. We also introduce a new addition to the TASBO team, Sonya Niazy – who you may know as Sonya George from her CFO days. She now joins our policy and research team.

We go over updates to PEIMS in 2024-25 and provide an overview of the upcoming PEIMS Academy.

Correction: The episode lists Karen Holyfield as PEIMS Research Committee Chair. The current chair is Chris Tawater, Director of PEIMS and Data Quality at Bastrop ISD.
