Under House Bill 5 (passed last year by the 83rd Texas
Legislature), all districts are required to evaluate the district’s
performance and the performance of each campus in regard to community
and student engagement. Districts must assign one of the four
performance ratings—Exemplary, Recognized, Acceptable or Unacceptable—to
the district and each campus for overall performance, including the
following categories:
- Fine arts;
- Wellness & physical education;
- Community and parental involvement;
- 21st Century Workforce Development program;
- Second language acquisition program;
- Digital learning environment;
- Dropout prevention strategies, and
- Educational programs for gifted and talented students.
Local committees at the district and campuses determined the criteria
that the district uses to evaluate and assign performance ratings and
evaluated the district’s compliance with statutory reporting and policy
requirements. The Texas Education Agency will collect information
regarding locally-assigned district and campus community and student
engagement ratings.
Under House Bill 5, districts must post the ratings and compliance
status for the district and each campus on the school district’s website
by August 8, 2014. The Texas Education Agency is required to report
the performance ratings and compliance statuses on the TEA website no
later than October 1, 2014.
