You’ve likely seen the changes to the August 2020 accountability ratings, but in case you missed it, formal ratings for all Texas school districts will be labeled “not-rated” due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 emergency. College, career, and military readiness data will be reported only on TEA reports such as Texas Academic Performance Reports. It will not be used in ratings calculations for the 2019-2020 school year.
If you still have questions such as…
- Will any sanctions be carried out in 2020–2021 for districts or campuses who were designated in need of improvement 2019–2020? What about comprehensive campuses?
- If a campus believes they would have gotten out of F status, can they use other data, such as a benchmark STAAR test, to provide evidence to change their rating?
- Will provisions be made to prevent loss of points in next year's ratings if CCMR points are affected by test cancellations?
