(a)Effective for the 2012-2013 through 2014-2015 school years, in accordance with the Texas Education Code (TEC), §39.025(a-1), the commissioner of education adopts certain assessments as provided in the chart in this subsection as substitute assessments that a student may use in place of a corresponding end-of-course (EOC) assessment under the TEC, §39.023(c), to meet the student's assessment graduation requirements. Attached Graphic (b)A student is eligible to use a substitute assessment as provided in the chart in subsection (a) of this section if: (1)a student was administered an approved substitute assessment for a course in which the student was enrolled; and (2)a student received a satisfactory score on the substitute assessment as determined by the commissioner and provided in the chart in subsection (a) of this section. (c)If a student elects to substitute an assessment for a corresponding EOC assessment as provided in the chart in subsection (a) of this section, the substitute assessment will not be included in the student's cumulative score calculation as specified in §101.3022 of this title (relating to Assessment and Cumulative Score Requirements for the Minimum, Recommended, and Distinguished Achievement High School Programs) for that content area. The cumulative score is calculated using only the state assessments developed under the TEC, §39.023(c). (d)A student cannot use a substitute assessment in place of the Algebra II EOC assessment or the English III EOC assessment to meet the distinguished high school program graduation assessment requirements of §101.3022(a)(2)(B) of this title. (e)A student electing to substitute an assessment for graduation purposes must still take the corresponding EOC assessment required under the TEC, §39.023(c).
This agency hereby certifies that the proposal has
been reviewed by legal counsel and found to be within the agency's
legal authority to adopt.
