The proposed A-F Accountability System Manual for 2027 ratings has been published on the 2027 Accountability Manual webpage. The proposed rule will be published in the Texas Register on December 12, 2025, followed by a 30-day period to gather public comments. In a letter to school administrators, TEA noted that there were no changes to cut points, domain and indicator methodology, or to the overall accountability system, but the following have been updated:
- Related to A–F appeals: A granted Closing the Gaps appeal can update comprehensive, targeted, or additional targeted support intervention federal identifications.
- Related to campus number requests: In alignment with anticipated changes to 19 Texas Administrative Code §97.1066, the campus request deadline in the 2027 Accountability Rating System Manual has been moved from September 1 to May 31.
