Texas School Accountability Dashboard
Per House Bill 5, the Texas School Accountability Dashboard provides a comparison reporting system for districts and campuses based on 2014 performance index results of the fully-implemented state accountability rating system.
Public release of dashboard reports has been changed from Friday, December 19 to Tuesday, January 13.
Initial release meets the following statutory requirements of TEC § 39.309. Additional enhancements will be made in future releases.

Public Education Grant (PEG) Program 18
A statutorily mandated program of school choice (TEC Ch. 29, Subchapter G,§29.201-§29.205) was not affected by changes made by the Texas Legislature in HB 3 in 2009.
Partially aligned with accountability ratings, but not fully aligned with the state system.
Districts with campuses on 2015-16 PEG list will be notified via TEASE Accountability in mid-December 2014.
Statute requires districts to notify parents of the 2015-16 list by February 1, 2015.
PEG 15-16 Criteria
TAA Letter Dated 11/10: Double Testing
USDE wants us to double test 8th Grade Math would count for middle school
accountability
Algebra 1 would be “banked” for high school accountability
TEA continues to stand by statements made in TAA letter dated March 6 Philosophy: “instructionally inappropriate and an
invalid evaluation”
TEA doesn’t have statutory authority to add a high school test
TAA Letter Cont’d
“For 2015 state and federal accountability, if a student takes the STAAR Algebra I assessment and a STAAR mathematics grade level assessment, only the results of the Algebra I assessment will be included in the accountability calculations for the campus and the district where the student tested.”
Actions and Options
Commissioner Williams has sent a letter to the legislature informing them of the Federal requirement for an additional high school math assessment
Is considering allowing optional Algebra II EOC or SAT/ACT or other substitute assessments to meet high school testing requirements No guarantee Feds will approve
Middle Schools would be accountable for the Algebra 1 score and High Schools for the substitute assessments
Looking Forward…
ATAC begins meeting in December
48,000 students will not graduate this year if they don’t pass their EOC
Legislative Session begins January 15
Index 2 is TBD for Elementary and Middle Schools

2015 Distinction Designations 27
Distinction Designations that were assigned in 2014 will be assigned in 2015
No significant changes are anticipated for the seven distinctions for campuses and the postsecondary readiness distinction for districts.
Indicators evaluated in 2014 for each distinction designation will likely continue to be evaluated in 2015, based on recommendations from accountability advisory groups.
New indicators may be added to certain distinction designations in 2015, based on recommendations from accountability advisory groups.
Methodology for determining campus comparison groups will likely remain unchanged.
Methodology for determining postsecondary readiness distinction designation for districts will likely remain unchanged.
Index 4 and Districts/High Schools
Statutory Requirements Call for Additional Indicators to Be Added CTE, certifications, new graduates under
foundation.
Final level 2 will still be there (required by law). Should continue to follow 2+ tests.
Grad rates in law won’t change.
BUT…..3 of the 4 indicators we know about are lagging
Foundation High School Program Issues will need to be addressed
