Committee member Michael Wagner asks whether TSIA can be retaken; district staff says 9th-grade testing gives students a better chance
Summary
At the Oct. 20 Scurry-Rosser ISD meeting, Committee member Michael Wagner asked whether the TSIA could be administered at another time for freshmen who had taken Algebra in earlier grades. Dr. Blaylock said testing in ninth grade typically gives students a better chance of success and noted challenges with dual-credit pathways.
Committee member Michael Wagner asked the Scurry-Rosser ISD Board on Oct. 20 whether the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA) could be administered at a different time for freshmen who previously took Algebra in earlier grades. The question was raised during a Career and Technical Education program update.
Dr. Blaylock, speaking as district staff during the presentation, said the district prefers testing in ninth grade because "by testing them in 9th grade, they have a greater chance of being successful since the material is fresh." He also told the board the district is working through continuing challenges with dual-credit courses and pathway alignment.
The exchange centered on timing and preparation for college-readiness testing, not on a board decision to change testing schedules. The board did not take action during the meeting; the CTE update and the TSIA timing issue were presented for information and follow-up.
Superintendent information was noted as "none at this time," and the board moved on to other agenda items.
