Bill > HB1114

This bill modifies the Texas public school accountability system by expanding the indicators used to evaluate school districts and campuses across three domains: student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps. In the student achievement domain, the bill adds new indicators such as students who successfully complete enrichment curriculum courses, earn endorsements, micro-credentials, or valuable credentials. For high school campuses, additional indicators include students who earn an associate degree, complete OnRamps dual enrollment courses, or are awarded industry certifications. For elementary and middle schools, new indicators track students who complete advanced courses or career and technology courses. The bill also enhances the closing the gaps domain by adding indicators for evaluating school quality in elementary, middle, and junior high schools. These changes aim to provide a more comprehensive assessment of student performance and school effectiveness, taking into account a broader range of academic and career-preparatory achievements. The bill will apply beginning with the 2025-2026 school year and will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in the Texas Legislature, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the required immediate effect vote.
