SAISD warns CCMR methodology changes could alter accountability results
Summary
District staff told the board that annual methodology changes to CCMR — including new counting rules for industry-based certifications and restrictions on college-prep course grades — could significantly affect accountability outcomes in coming years.
District staff explained to the board that CCMR (college, career, and military readiness) affects all three accountability domains and that methodology has been changing annually. The presenter said most CCMR data is collected by TEA from vendors while some data comes from district PEIMS submissions, and highlighted that counting industry‑based certifications (IBCs) has become more challenging under recent rules.
The presenter listed the current CCMR indicator counts — six for college readiness, three for college career readiness and one for military readiness — and cautioned that proposed future methodology changes will significantly change how CCMR is measured and its impact on accountability ratings. "There have been annual changes to the methodology used to calculate CCMR for the past few years," the presenter said, adding that upcoming proposals will have substantial effects on measurement and accountability.
