In an October 31st letter to the administrator, TEA announced the final 2023 Accountability manual has been posed online here. The issuance of A-F ratings under this final rule is pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings or decisions from the 88th Legislature during a special called session.
The language of the final rule identifies November 16th as the date of ratings issuance and the rule was finalized last week before any judicial ruling. However, the dates provided are pending and subject to change based on judicial rulings or decisions from the 88th Legislature during a special called session.
What If ratings for the 2021-22 school year based on the newly final rule’s methodology from the 2023 Accountability Manual will be posted for districts in TEAL on November 7, 2023. Statewide summaries of 2021-22 What If ratings will also be made available. On November 14, 2023, underlying data for 2022-23 used to calculate ratings based on the 2023 Accountability Manual will be posted in TEAL.
Similarly, Comprehensive, Targeted, and Additional Targeted Support designations under federal accountability will be issued on November 16, as noted in the final rule.
