Matty Salinas

Matty Salinas is an experienced Executive Administrative Assistant and PEIMS professional with over 20 years of service in public education. She began her career in education two decades ago as an attendance clerk at La Vernia ISD while her children were in school, where she discovered a strong interest in data entry, student records, and school operations. That early experience sparked a lasting passion for educational systems, data accuracy, and the role that strong administrative processes play in supporting student success.

She later advanced to Randolph Field ISD, serving as the Superintendent’s Secretary and District PEIMS Coordinator. In this role, she worked closely with district leadership and received extensive professional development opportunities under the guidance of Mr. Lance Johnson, allowing her to grow in leadership, compliance, and district-level operations. Over the past 15 years, Matty has specialized in PEIMS (Public Education Information Management System), overseeing critical data verification and reporting processes submitted to the Texas Education Agency. She has developed deep expertise in ensuring data integrity, resolving discrepancies, and maintaining compliance in a system that is continuously evolving based on state requirements.

Matty is passionate about the impact of her work, recognizing that accurate PEIMS reporting directly supports district funding and the expansion of student programs. She has also gained valuable insight into the business and human resources functions of school districts, broadening her understanding of how various departments are funded and interconnected. Currently in her first year with Wimberley ISD, she continues to build on her extensive experience with a long-term goal of transitioning into a regional service center, TEA, or TASBO role, where she hopes to serve as a PEIMS consultant supporting districts across the state.
