Relating to indicators of achievement under the public school
accountability system.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Currently, Elementary and secondary schools have accountability standards that they are graded on. This bill would reform those standards by adding criteria that is to be graded on; these criteria include tracking the amount of high school students who receive class credit by examination, the percent of people who earn a diploma in not more than four years; and the percentage of students who participate in a UIL A+ academic event.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This bill does not seem to have a connection with our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
