The TEA in a letter to administrators reminded districts that Texas Education Code §48.155 states that a school district is entitled to a reimbursement to help defray the cost of the administration of college preparation assessments (SAT, ACT, and TSIA) to students in the spring of their junior year or during their senior year, beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. School districts cannot receive more than one reimbursement per student. TEA has negotiated with the College Board and ACT, Inc. a $35 rate per student for school day administrations. National administrations (Saturday testing) and TSIA rates remain unchanged.
