DIVISION 2. PARTICIPATION AND
ASSESSMENT AND CUMULATIVE SCORE
REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION
19 TAC 101.3021 - 101.3023The Texas Education Agency proposes amendments to
101.3021-101.3023, concerning assessment. The sections
address participation and assessment and cumulative score
requirements for graduation. The proposed amendments would
reflect changes made to the state assessment program by
House Bill (HB) 5, 83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session,
2013.
HB 5, 83rd Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 2013, made
changes to the state's assessment graduation requirements.
The proposed amendments to 19 TAC Chapter 101, Subchapter
CC, Division 2, would reflect these changes by stipulating that
students must pass the five end-of-course (EOC) assessments
listed in the Texas Education Code (TEC), 39.023(c), in order
to graduate; removing the 15% course grade and cumulative
score requirements for EOC assessments; and specifying how
the English I and II reading and writing assessments taken
before spring 2014 can be used for purposes of graduation.
Specifically, the following changes would be made.
Section 101.3021, Required Participation in Academic Content
Area Assessments and Course Grading, would be amended to
remove the 15% course grade and cumulative course require-
ments for EOC assessments. In addition, the amendment would
specify that only students previously failing an EOC assessment
may retake that assessment. Other conforming changes would
also be made, and the section title would be changed to more
accurately reflect the updated section.
Section 101.3022, Assessment and Cumulative Score Require-
ments for the Minimum, Recommended, and Distinguished
Achievement High School Programs, would be amended to
require students to achieve satisfactory performance on the
EOC assessments listed in the TEC, 39.023(c), to be eligible
to receive a high school diploma regardless of a student's high
school program. References to other assessment graduation
requirements beyond meeting satisfactory performance on
the five required EOC assessments would be removed. In
addition, subsection (b) would be amended to provide flexibility
to students affected by the transition from separate reading
and writing assessments in English I and II to the new as-
sessments combining reading and writing into one assessment
for each course. The proposed amendment would maintain
the minimum and cumulative score requirements for these
subjects to determine whether students met the assessment
requirements for the two courses. Students who took separate
reading and writing assessments in either course would need to
meet the following three criteria in order to fulfill the assessment
graduation requirements for that course: pass one assessment
(either reading or writing); meet at least the minimum score on
the other assessment (either reading or writing); and achieve a
combined scale score of 3750 (the phase-in 1 standard), which
represents the sum of the scale scores needed to reach Level II
for reading (1875) and Level II for writing (1875).
Additionally, the title of 101.3022 would be changed to more
accurately reflect the updated section.
Section 101.3023, Participation, Graduation Assessment, and
Cumulative Score Requirements for Students Receiving Special
Education Services, would be amended to remove references
to the cumulative and 15% course grade requirements. In addi-
tion, subsection (e), which addresses assessment requirements
for assessments with no alternative version, would be removed
since each of the five required EOC assessments have an alter-
native version to be used by eligible students.38 TexReg 8346 November 22, 2013 Texas Register
