2 p.m. - The Texas Education Agency (TEA) announced today that A-F ratings would be paused for 2020-21 school year, citing pandemic-related disruptions.
“The issuance of A-F ratings for schools has proven to be a valuable tool to support continuous improvement for our students, allowing educators, parents, and the general public to better identify and expand efforts that are working for kids," said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath. "But the pandemic has disrupted school operations in fundamental ways that have often been outside the control of our school leaders, making it far more difficult to use these ratings as a tool to support student academic growth. As a result, we will not issue A-F ratings this school year.”
The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test will still go on.
The agency says it plans to take action to alleviate the strain from the test during a difficult school year.
"For those schools that incorporate STAAR results into teacher evaluations, TEA is providing flexibility to allow them to remove that component this school year," says the agency's website.
“The last nine months have been some of the most disruptive of our lives. The challenges have been especially pronounced for our parents, teachers, and students. We continue to prioritize the health and safety of students, teachers, and staff in our schools this year, while working to ensure students grow academically,” said Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath.
