Morath: No more using SAT or ACT scores to meet state accountability requirements
This comes as newly-approved significant changes to the STAAR await implementation
Texas high school students will no longer be
able to substitute the SAT or ACT scores to meet the state’s accountability
requirements, Education Commissioner Mike Morath told the State
Board of Education during its meeting this morning.
The decision, which will go out in
correspondence to school districts next week, was the result of a federal
monitoring visit, Morath said. The Department of Education informed
the state last December, by letter, that substitute assessments would have to
cease, Morath said.
“It was not widely done, and it wasn’t even
done universally in districts,” Morath said.
