​In 2013, ISBE retired the Teacher Service Record (TSR) data collection system, and replaced it with the Employment Information System (EIS) for district use in reporting data for teachers, administrators, and other employees. Through EIS, not only can data be entered and edited using online screens, but it can also be submitted via batch file. EIS also allows data to be reported continually (no closed periods during a school year) for both licensed and non-licensed employees. Further, EIS incorporates the administrator, teacher, and benefits data that school districts are required to report by October 1 each year, per Sections 10-20.47 and 34-18.38 of the School Code.

For further EIS assistance, please contact the EIS help desk at datahelp@isbe.net.

For technical assistance with IWAS, please contact the ISBE Help Desk at helpdesk@isbe.net or call (217) 558-3600.​​​​​​​​​​


Data Elements, approved codes and indicators

The EIS application performs validations on submitted Employee attributes using the batch process or online interface. Through the online interface, the users receive interactive error messages based on failed validation checks. With both methods, the user then has the opportunity to correct errors and resubmit the transaction. Use the EIS Data Elements and Validations document to review and prepare your EIS data collection submissions. Each EIS Data Object (or collection) provides data element definitions and coding requirements.​
