1. Tennessee Education Information System (EIS) Data Search
From school year, data reported to eTIGER will be saved onto EIS database. Enrollment, teachers, and students data which showed on eTIGER would be the real-time data from EIS. The data accuracy of above data will be the responsibilities of LEA’s EIS person. CTE directors and teachers will help to identify the inaccurate data and inform the local EIS person to update them.

2. EIS Access Through LEA’s EIS Primary Contact to get the EIS access
EIS Home page:
EIS District Contact list:
EIS Login (same as the link of “Director / Teacher Log in” of CTE) - may use the same userid & password of eTIGER
Select application “EIS” instead of “eTIGER”
Due to the security concern, any CTE personnel who like to have the access to EIS need to request their district EIS Primary Contact to replace an request to State EIS division for the access to EIS. The userid and password can be the same as what used to log on eTIGER.
To log on EIS, go to the Sate secured application log on screen (which is the same as the login web of eTIGER). After logging on, select EIS as the application to access. 2
