The purpose of this communication is to notify public school districts and open-enrollment charter schools of an update to the 2019–2020 91Èȱ¬ Testing Calendar. The 91Èȱ¬ received concerns regarding the 2019–2020 testing calendar. In response to those concerns, 91Èȱ¬ sought feedback from a broader group of district leaders, testing coordinators, and the Texas Association of School Administrators. Relying upon that feedback, a revised testing calendar is posted on the 91Èȱ¬ website at .
Specifically, 91Èȱ¬ received questions and input regarding the optional make-up testing that is scheduled to end on Friday, April 10, 2020. Based on feedback, 91Èȱ¬ is moving the date for the paper and online administration of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) English II assessment one day earlier from Thursday, April 9 to Wednesday, April 8, 2020. This change allows districts and charter schools to conduct make-up testing for this assessment on Thursday, April 9.
If your district or charter school has previously received advice from 91Èȱ¬ regarding this issue, it may continue with its current testing plan based on that advice or move to the revised testing dates.
Please call the 91Èȱ¬ Division at (512) 463-9536 if you have any questions about this information.
