TXSBOE1 REQUEST TO TEA: POSTPONE / WAIVE STAAR, EOC, and TELPAS
13 MARCH 2020 | Our students are out for extended periods of time due to COVID-19 precautionary measures. While these efforts go a very long way to protect our communities, our students and teachers need the same protections applied to accountability. Whether it's poverty or lack of resources, many communities along the border (and across Texas) do not have access to wifi and do not possess digital devices necessary for online learning. This means our students whose promotion, retention, and graduation is based on test scores are at great risk.
Our nation, state, and cities across the U.S. have declared emergency. Holding our students and teachers responsible for continued learning in the current situation is irresponsible and unnecessary.
Texas celebrates its 25-year relationship with charters... still no democracy or public accountability in sight.
If there is anyone still doubting that charter operators in Texas (and across the nation) receive every economic and political advantage - still not outperforming ISD's, please take a moment to watch the 14 June 2019, Public Hearings at the Texas State Board of Education.
