More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to indicators of achievement under the public school accountability system’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill amends the Education Code to refine the criteria for evaluating school districts and campuses within the public school accountability system, effective in the 2025-26 school year, or Sept. 1, 2025, if it does not achieve immediate effect. It mandates assessment across three domains: student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps. The student achievement domain includes indicators such as performance on assessment instruments, college readiness, and successful course completions. High schools are evaluated on criteria like graduation rates and the attainment of industry certifications or associate degrees. School progress is measured through student growth on assessments and relative performance comparisons. The closing the gaps domain focuses on disaggregated data to identify performance differentials among diverse student groups, incorporating special education, mobility status, and continuous enrollment indicators.
Erin Gamez, member of the House Committee on Transportation and vice chair of the House Committee on General Investigating, proposed another two bills during the 89(R) legislative session.
Gamez graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2010 and again in 2014 from South Texas College of Law Houston with a JD.
Erin Gamez is currently serving in the Texas State House, representing the state's 38th House district. She replaced previous state representative Eddie Lucio III in 2022.
