ASHBY: Elimination of STAAR test important for Texas students

May 2008:40 AM
 

This week, the Texas House took historic action by finally eliminating the STAAR test. House Bill 4 would replace the high-stakes, one-time STAAR tests with shorter, more meaningful progress checks throughout the year. As the joint author of this bill, I’m so proud of the comprehensive reforms House Bill 4 makes to assessing student outcomes by putting timely data in the hands of teachers and parents, reducing classroom stress, and creating a smarter, fairer accountability system for our schools.  I greatly appreciate the support of countless parents, teachers, students, administrators, and other members of the public education community who wholeheartedly support this bill that finally alleviates the burden of high-stakes testing in Texas schools. I look forward to seeing HB 4 pass through the Senate and arrive on the governor’s desk very soon.  With that, here’s an update from your state Capitol. view article  arw
