ACTION Final/Adopted
Preamble Texas Admin Code Rule
(a)A student is eligible to substitute an alternative exit-level assessment for a Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exit-level assessment for purposes of this subchapter if the student after January 1 of the year in which the student would otherwise be eligible to graduate:

  (1)enrolls in a public school in Texas for the first time; or

  (2)enrolls in a public school in Texas after an absence of at least four years from any public school in this state. A student meets this requirement if he or she has not been enrolled for one or more days in a public school in Texas in the four years preceding the day on which the student enrolls in a Texas public school after January 1 of the year in which the student would otherwise be eligible to graduate.

(b)Each school district and charter school shall be responsible for verifying a student's eligibility for the alternative exit-level assessment.

This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
