Superintendent raises concerns about TEA accountability changes and notes SB 2 developments
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Spicer told trustees the district is monitoring state legislation including SB 2 (an education savings account bill) and expressed concern about recent TEA changes to STAAR and A–F accountability ratings introduced after the school year began.
Superintendent Dr. Spicer used her report to update trustees on district events and statewide policy matters impacting the district. She said the Senate advanced Senate Bill 2, which the minutes describe as creating an education savings account or school voucher program, and that the district is monitoring the bill’s progress toward the governor.
Dr. Spicer also raised concerns about Texas Education Agency changes to STAAR testing and the 2023 A–F accountability ratings, saying the rules were changed after the school year began and without a phase-in period. She said the district will focus on aligning curriculum, career and technical education pathways, and strategic planning to the clarified rules through 2028.
In the same report she invited the public to Alta Vista Elementary’s 115th anniversary event and recognized recent academic award ceremonies at Waco High School and University High School.
