State secures extension of No Child Left Behind Waiver from Education Department

Texas argued it needed an additional year to roll out teacher evaluation process

From the Texas Education Agency:

“The extension will run through the 2014-2015 school year pending approval of the agency’s proposal for new teacher and principal evaluation and support systems in Texas. The systems are a specific component of the federal waiver and are scheduled to be piloted in school districts and charters during the 2014-2015 school year.”
