STAAR Test Audit - Contact your Elected Officials TODAY!

Representative Diego Bernal's HB 4242, will be heard on Tuesday, April 9th, in the House Committee on Public Education.  

What does HB 4242 do? 

• 2018-19 and 2019-20 STAAR tests will be reviewed to determine grade-level readability
• Students, Campuses, and Districts will not be punished for 2018-19 STAAR scores 
• STAAR tests cannot be used if they do not meet readability standards

Who will perform the audit of the STAAR tests?

• Each STAAR test (all content areas and grade levels) will be audited by a 3rd-party
• Audits will be peer reviewed

The Texas Education Agency stands by their STAAR tests, so this peer-reviewed independent audit should be welcomed by TEA and both the Senate and the House Democrats and Republicans alike.
