Changes are coming soon to your child's school accountability rating system, and hundreds of school districts, including 20 in the Houston area, are asking the TEA to reconsider.
If you have school-age kids, you're probably aware of the A through F school accountability rating system. But changes could soon be coming.For the past five years, public schools in Texas have received an A through F rating based on factors relating to student achievement and school progress.
Anderson said she is not surprised by the concern of so many districts about the proposed changes to the Texas Education Agency accountability rating system. Part of the letter reads, "Moving forward with the planned refresh is irresponsible as it will cause significant confusion among the community, put increased pressure on teachers and other staff who are already at their breaking point, and wrest the policy decisions of how we should hold our schools accountable away from the elected representatives of the people leaving them in the hands of unelected bureaucrats.
However, some districts aren't happy about that, saying the increase in expectations from the state is too drastic.
