Valley Mills trustees review 2022–23 STAAR results amid state policy changes
Summary
Superintendent/staff presented 2022–23 STAAR results released by the Texas Education Agency in 2025; trustees discussed the timing of the release alongside state-level moves on vouchers and House Bill 4, which would replace STAAR with norm-referenced tests if enacted.
District leadership presented the campus and district STAAR results for the 2022–23 school year, noting that the Texas Education Agency released the data in 2025 following litigation over transparency and accessibility. Board members heard the results in the context of statewide changes: the minutes record that the release coincided with Governor Greg Abbott's signing of a major school voucher bill and that House Bill 4 — proposing to eliminate STAAR testing in favor of norm-referenced tests — had passed the Texas House and awaited Senate consideration.
Trustees took the presentation as an informational report. No formal vote on testing policy was recorded; the minutes capture the district data review and note the potential policy implications at the state level. The presentation situates local performance numbers within broader state debates over assessment and school choice.
