TITLE 19. EDUCATION
PART 2. TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY
CHAPTER 61. SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SUBCHAPTER BB. COMMISSIONER'S
RULES ON REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
19 TAC 61.1021, 61.1022
The Texas Education Agency proposes amendments to
61.1021 and 61.1022, concerning reporting requirements.
The sections address school report cards and the Academic
Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report. The proposed
amendments would update provisions related to school report
cards and the AEIS report.
In 1994, 19 TAC 61.1021, School Report Cards, and 61.1022,
Academic Excellence Indicator System Report, were adopted to
increase awareness and knowledge of the resources and per-
formance of public schools through the distribution of the school
report card and to enhance parental involvement in campus im-
provement activities.The proposed amendment to 19 TAC 61.1021 would update
a Texas Education Code (TEC) reference from 39.052 to
39.305. Additionally, language would be added to specifically
allow for the use of electronic mail to meet the requirements
related to distributing the school report card.
The proposed amendment to 19 TAC 61.1022 would change
all references to the AEIS report to the "Texas Academic Perfor-
mance Report" since House Bill 3, 81st Texas Legislature, Reg-
ular Session, 2009, removed the term AEIS from the TEC. The
proposed amendment would also update a reference to the TEC
from 39.053 to 39.306. In addition, language would be added
to specify that the required hearing for public discussion could
take place during a regularly scheduled or special meeting of
the local board of trustees and that the report must be posted on
the school district website.
The proposed amendments would have no new procedural or re-
porting implications beyond those already in place. School dis-
tricts must publicize hearings for public discussion of the Texas
Academic Performance Report and requirements related to the
publication and distribution of that report and the school report
card.
The proposed amendments would have no locally maintained
paperwork requirements.
Criss Cloudt, associate commissioner for assessment and ac-
countability, has determined that for the first five-year period the
amendments are in effect there will be no additional costs for
state or local government as a result of enforcing or administer-
ing the amendments.
Dr. Cloudt has determined that for each year of the first five years
the amendments are in effect the public benefit anticipated as a
result of enforcing the amendments will be to continue to inform
the public of the Texas Academic Performance Report and the
school report card by including these rules in the Texas Adminis-
trative Code. There is no anticipated economic cost to persons
who are required to comply with the proposed amendments.
There is no direct adverse economic impact for small businesses
and microbusinesses; therefore, no regulatory flexibility anal-
ysis, specified in Texas Government Code, 2006.002, is re-
quired.
The public comment period on the proposal begins November
22, 2013, and ends December 23, 2013. Comments on the
proposal may be submitted to Cristina De La Fuente-Valadez,
Rulemaking, Texas Education Agency, 1701 North Congress Av-
enue, Austin, Texas 78701, (512) 475-1497. Comments may
also be submitted electronically to rules@tea.state.tx.us or faxed
to (512) 463-5337. A request for a public hearing on the pro-
posal submitted under the Administrative Procedure Act must
be received by the commissioner of education not more than 14
calendar days after notice of the proposal has been published in
the Texas Register on November 22, 2013.
The amendments are proposed under the Texas Education Code
(TEC), 39.305, which authorizes the commissioner to adopt
rules requiring dissemination of campus report cards annually
to the parent or person standing in parental relation to each stu-
dent at the campus; and the TEC, 39.306, which authorizes the
commissioner to adopt rules concerning dissemination of the an-
nual school district and campus performance report.
The amendments implement the TEC, 39.305 and 39.306.
